example figuresThe 2025 outcomes report
Covering graduates whose cohorts finished between Jan 1 and Dec 31, 2025: 312 graduates from 359 enrolled students. Placements are checked against offer letters and payslips, and the method is published right here, because a stat without its method is an ad.
example figures for this demo site. the method is real: every 2025 graduate counts, including those we couldn't reach.
Where all 312 graduates are
Employment status at 365 days after graduation. Rows account for every graduate and sum to 312. Nobody is dropped from the math.
| Status at 365 days | Graduates | % of all 312 |
|---|---|---|
| Employed in-field, full-time, within 180 days of graduation | 223 | 71.5% |
| Employed in-field, full-time, within 181 to 365 days | 25 | 8.0% |
| Employed out-of-field | 14 | 4.5% |
| Still seeking in-field work at 365 days | 21 | 6.7% |
| Not seeking (continuing education, health, family, visa) | 16 | 5.1% |
| Unreachable (counted as NOT placed, never dropped) | 13 | 4.2% |
| Total | 312 | 100.0% |

Reported starting salaries, by program
Starting salaries below were reported by 178 of the 248 graduates employed in-field (71.8% reported). Salaries are base pay only, before tax, across the USA. They vary a lot by city and remote policy.
| Program | 25th percentile | Median | 75th percentile | Reporting |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Full-Stack Web Development | $58,000 | $68,500 | $81,000 | 84 grads |
| Data Analytics | $54,000 | $62,000 | $73,500 | 46 grads |
| UX Design | $56,000 | $64,500 | $76,000 | 48 grads |
percentiles mean 1 in 4 reported below the 25th figure. plan on the low number, be pleased by the high one.

How these numbers are made
Most bootcamp stats fail in the definitions, not the arithmetic. These are ours, in full. If anything is unclear, ask us to clarify it. We answer method questions specifically, not with brochures.
“In-field” has a definition
A role counts as in-field only if the graduate says the program's skills are central to the job. A web development grad doing IT support does not count. Roles at Northpath itself never count, and contract roles under 6 months are reported separately, never as placements.
“Full-time” means 32+ hours
Part-time, gig and freelance work under 32 hours a week is reported as out-of-field or other, not as a placement, even when it's genuinely good news for the graduate.
The denominator is everyone
312 graduates finished in the window, and all 312 are in every denominator. Non-responders are counted as not placed. Leaving them out would raise our headline rate by roughly 3 points, which is exactly why we don't.
Verified, not just surveyed
Placements are checked against an offer letter, a first payslip or a public employment profile, not just a survey checkbox. Salary figures are self-reported and labeled that way.
What we will never publish
A placement rate without its time window, a salary average without its response rate, or a stat from a hand-picked cohort. If you see any school do these things, ask why.
What these numbers can't tell you
Behind the numbers: graduate stories
One graduate faster than the median, one near it, one slower, plus reviews from every program, three-star ones included.
