How the cohort runs

Three stages, across both days.

Four people around a table, one listing her existing skills on a sheet of paper.
01

Find your edge

Find where your existing skills already fit in tech, and what they could become as an idea.

Two people at a laptop, one pointing at the screen while the other takes notes.
02

Develop it

Shape your ideas into products with free and paid AI tools: agentic development with tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity and Grok Build, local AI models on your own machine, and lots more.

Four people around a table with a notebook open between them, one pointing at what is written.
03

Deploy and pitch

Develop and deploy intelligent applications, then learn to present yours as a business idea.

What it covers

The training runs on your own idea from the first session onwards.

Two people talking one to one at the corner of a table, one taking notes.

Skills check-in

What you are already good at, and how that shapes into a tech idea worth building.

A small group gathered at a wall of sticky notes, one of them mid sentence.

The fields open to you

Which roles are hiring, what each one asks of you, and which ones fit what you already have.

Three people leaning over a notebook covered in boxes and arrows.

Blueprinting with agentic AI

Turning a rough idea into a brief the tools can work from, then pressure-testing it.

People working at laptops along a table, one pointing at her neighbour's screen while the trainer looks on.

Hands on, through to deployed

Agentic development with tools such as Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity and Grok Build, local AI models, and putting what you develop online. Each cohort covers its own selection.

Three people at a table, one mid sentence with his hand open, the other two listening closely.

Pitching, and the funding routes

How to shape a pitch and deliver it, then a session on what UK tech startups can apply for.

Two people reviewing a CV on a laptop screen together.

CV, portfolio and LinkedIn

Rebuilt around the work you produce on the programme.

Inside the apprenticeship

Positioned

Brought in line with the projects you deliver during the placement.

Your idea, developed

Take a project of your own from concept to something you can show.
