DIGITAL SKILLS BOOTCAMPS

Northumbria University is one of 35 member institutions of the Institute of Coding (IoC), led by the University of Bath. The IoC has been selected as a provider for the Department of Education's Skills Bootcamps to form part of the government's Life Skills Guarantee, helping everyone gain skills for life.

Northumbria is excited to be delivering two distinct part-time Skills Bootcamps over a 16-week period, on a national basis. Each programme is targeted at filling well-documented digital skills gaps in the UK. Our programmes are in:

• Skills Bootcamp in Data Science (with Microsoft Certification)
• Skills Bootcamp in Software Development (with Microsoft Certification) 

Individuals meeting the eligibility criteria can take part in one of the above programmes for free whilst businesses and organisations wishing to upskill their workforce are offered a 70% subsidy, leaving just 30% of the fee left to pay. Further details on funding and eligibility can be found here. The next cohort starts on 13th June 2022.
