northpath --version 2026
Live online bootcamps in web development, data analytics, and UX design. We publish audited outcomes with the methodology attached, print every payment plan's true total cost, and will tell you if a bootcamp is the wrong move for you. That's the pitch.

engineering
HTML to deployed product: JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Node, and PostgreSQL, taught live with daily pair programming and weekly code review.
data
SQL first, then Python, statistics, and dashboards — the working analyst's toolkit, taught through messy real-world datasets, not clean textbook ones.
design
Research to shipped interface: user research, interaction design, Figma, prototyping, and usability testing — with two portfolio case studies built on real briefs.

Every session is taught live by an instructor who has done the job — no pre-recorded playlists with a Slack channel bolted on. You pair-program (or pair-critique) daily, your work is reviewed weekly, and a cohort of 24 means the instructor knows exactly where you're stuck by Tuesday.

This industry taught students to distrust it — placement rates with secret denominators, "guaranteed jobs" voided by fine print, deferred plans whose totals never appear on the pricing page. Northpath's rule is simple: if a number sells the program, you get the methodology behind it.
Our outcomes count every graduate — including the ones we couldn't reach. No survey-respondents-only math, no hand-picked cohorts, and the methodology is public.
Every session is taught live by an instructor who's done the job. Cohorts cap at 24 with two TAs — nobody learns to code from a video playlist alone.
Portfolio, resume, and interview prep are built into the curriculum from the first week — because the job search is a skill, not an afterthought.
Every plan's total cost is on the pricing page, including how much more deferred tuition costs. If a school hides a number, assume it's not flattering.
northpath apply --steps
01
Tell us your background and goals. No trick questions, no aptitude hazing — we're checking fit and readiness, not gatekeeping.
02
A 30-minute video call with a human, within a week. We'll tell you honestly if a different program — or no bootcamp at all — fits your goal better.
03
Every admit completes a free 10–20 hour prep course before day 1. It doubles as a self-test: if you hate the prep, you'd hate the program, and better to learn that for $0.
04
Pick a payment plan and reserve your seat ($250 deposit, credited to tuition). Withdraw any time in the first 2 weeks of class for a full refund, deposit included.

“The honest part nobody tells you: the program was the easy half. I sent about 140 applications over four months. What got me through was the weekly career-sprint structure and a portfolio I could actually defend line by line.”

Applications are rolling and cohorts start monthly — there is no deadline trick here. A human on the admissions team replies within 2 business days — no pressure calls, no countdown timers.
