It took a lot of time.Īmul: It’s a twelve week coding course that takes someone who has never coded before. I really enjoyed learning a completely random language, it is hard.Īmul: Yes I can probably interpret most conversations as long as it’s not too fast. Lee: Did you manage to speak the lingo in Japan?Īmul: Yes absolutely.

Over the four years that we’ve been in business we have taught six hundred newbies to code, how to code over a twelve week course and ninety-six percent of them have gone on to get jobs with software developers. We are HQ’d in Manchester and we’ve got a campus in Leeds. Lee: Tell us what you have going on at NorthCoders.Īmul: We are a coding boot camp so we teach people how to code and then we help them to get a job. Get into Coding With a Coding Bootcamp at NorthCoders. I don’t think there is a barrier to do anything. My general vibe about anything – and it runs through with NorthCoders as well is you can do anything you want to do so long as you put your mind to it. That’s just life really and you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do. Id actually set up a company and the idea was to bring European and American music out to Japan but unfortunately I had a family bereavement just at the point of setting that up so I had to come home. I’d settled in Japan and my plan was never to come back.

We were really professional really quickly but I wanted it to give my mind a bit of a break from all things UK. How easy was it for you when you look back and decided I’m going to teach in Japan? What were the steps to do it?Īmul: To be honest I went on a Japanese government scheme to teach English out there, so my now wife and then girlfriend didn’t and she just came out and got a similar job to me, so it’s clearly not that hard – do you know what I mean? For me, because Id lived in the UK all my life – I’d not lived anywhere else – I wanted to do something a bit random having been so involved in an independent label that I didn’t set up but was involved with since day one. It’s quite interesting hearing you talking about moving to Japan because part of what we talk about in the show is talking to people who have set up businesses overseas and also working overseas. I went back into music for about ten years before I started on the coding journey which I guess is what we are going to focus on today.
It was just a great kind of break from the UK shores and what was going on at the time.
I learnt the language and travelled a bit. I taught English to kids from the age of four upwards to fifteen and I kind of just lived the life. Because I’d done that straight out of uni I then wanted to do something a bit mad and a bit different so I took myself off to an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean called Okinawa which is part of Japan. I came straight out of uni and stared working for a record label in Manchester called Faith & Hope and had loads of success and a number one record, bands did really well. I needed to match your location really.Īmul: It’s funny because I’ve worked in the music business most of my life. Lee: Oh it’s a real place that you have actually visited, you’ve not just took it off the internet!Īmul: No, I used to live in Japan 2004 – 2007. Today is a fantastic Show because we have Amul Batra in Manchester who is Chief Partnerships Officer at North Coders and I’m liking your background on zoom!Īmul: It’s actually a beach in Okinawa in Japan where I used to live many years ago. Lee: Good afternoon, this is The Logros Show and we are broadcasting live on top of the Sky bar in Ibiza at OD Talamanca Hotel. How to Interview with Amul Batra, Chief Partnerships Officer of North Coders – The Real Sound of the City. In this interview on The Logros Show – in association with The Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce– Lee Dinsdale talks to Amul Batra about running Coding Bootcamps at his company North Coders to help people get into coding.
