Who it is for

Business people and founders

Get on top of the tech side of what you run, and meet people doing the same thing.

What we run

Different kinds of session, all of them in person and all of them about tech and your career. Some are a single evening, some run over weeks. What is coming up, and where, is on the booking page.

Career talks

Which roles are hiring, what each one asks of you, and how people got into them.

Four people at laptops around a table, two of them comparing screens.

Technical sessions

Hands on with a tool or a subject, on your own laptop, working through it together.

IT support sessions

Bring the thing that is not working, or the thing you have never been shown how to do.

Networking

Meet people working in tech and people trying to get into it, in a room small enough to hold a proper conversation.

The group cohort

Several sessions over consecutive weeks, taking one idea of your own from a rough thought to something live.

One to one, and the apprenticeship

Private sessions, or three months of training and real project work. Both on the programmes page.

What you leave with

Four things you take away from the multi-week programmes. The one-off talks and sessions are a way in.

A laptop on a table showing a simple website, hands resting beside it.

A project of your own, live online

You choose what to build, and you finish with it deployed at a web address of its own. It gives you something concrete to walk an interviewer or a client through.

A printed CV on a table with a pen resting across it.

A revamped CV and upgraded portfolio

Your CV, portfolio and LinkedIn profile are rebuilt around what you have achieved on the programme, and written so a recruiter can see your capability in the first few seconds.

A woman mid sentence with her hands open, others out of focus listening.

The confidence to present your idea

You present your idea in the room and get direct feedback on how it lands. We also cover the UK funding routes open to it and what each one expects from an applicant.

A clear next step

The three month apprenticeship is where this leads if you want to keep going, and everyone completing a cohort is considered for a place. You leave knowing the options and which one suits your circumstances.
