What you’ll need to succeed.

GCSE-level maths and comfortable reading technical English is all you need for the beginner track.

Commitment to the cohort

4–6 hours per week depending on the programme. Attend live sessions and submit weekly assignments.

Pay your way

We don’t want upfront cost to stand between you and a new career. Pick a plan that works, or speak to us about employer sponsorship.
