Be part of Northcoders Digital Community
Northcoders isn’t just a coding school but a digital community with an inclusive and supportive learning environment. Northcoders’ code is to always put people first where students find empathy and humility above all else.
As a part of their commitment to inclusivity, Northcoders now invests in you. Consistent with its commitment to access and its belief in the value of the education it provides, Northcoders has partnered with StepEx to introduce ”Future Earnings Agreements (FEAs)” and affordable Payment Plans.
Key Features of Payment Plan
Interest-Free Payment Plan: With this agreement you can make timely monthly payments to cover your tuition fees without incurring any interest charges. The total amount you repay is the same as the upfront tuition fee amount (excluding the set-up charge). While administrative fees may be imposed for missed payments, no interest will be added to the outstanding amount.
Please see below the qualifying courses and terms of the student offer for each of them.
Details of Your Payment Plan
Repayments are set at an equal monthly amount over your repayment, other than your first repayment which may be higher to account for a course reservation fee or arrangement fee. Evenly spread over your period of study, starting with a payment in the last month of your course, with a total value equal to the tuition fee charge plus the setup costs and platform fee, with no interest added.
Northcoders Core Payment Plan: £250 upfront and 23 monthly instalments of £289.58. Your last month repayment amount is £289.66.
Northcoders Career Plus Payment Plan: £250 upfront and 23 monthly instalments of £354.17. Your last month repayment amount is £354.09.
The Northcoders Core and Northcoders Career Plus programmes covers the following courses:
1. Software Development
2. Cloud Engineering
3. Data Engineering
Key Features of Future Earnings Agreements (FEAs)
Future Earnings Agreements: With this agreement, you commit to repaying a fixed percentage of your post-course earnings, but only when your gross annual income is at least £24,000. Your total repayment amount is directly linked to your future income, requiring you to pay less than the average earner if your earnings are
lower and more if they are higher. Rest assured, there is a cap on the maximum amount you could ever repay, set at twice the tuition fees.

Details of Your Future Earnings Agreements
Repayments are set to start once you graduate and start earning at least £24,000. You will then repay a small percentage of your income for a fixed period of time. Depending on your post-course performance you might repay £0 if you do not meet the income threshold for the first 96 months from the course end date. Conversely, you might repay more if you excel in your career after completing the course. The maximum amount you might ever repay is limited to 1.6x the tuition fees.
Northcoders Core FEA: £250 upfront + 10% of your gross earnings for 36 months when you start earning at least £24,000 per annum.
The maximum amount you might ever repay if you earn more than expected is capped at £11,120. If your income does not exceed £24,000 for the 96 months post graduation, you have no further obligation of repaying any outstanding balance.
Northcoders Career Plus FEA: £250 upfront + 12% of your gross earnings for 36 months when you start earning at least £24,000 per annum.
