Our accelerators are short and intense. You’ll train full-time through workshops, industry projects, and guided practice — not lectures.

Each programme is developed with input from employers, recruiters, and industry mentors — so what you learn reflects what the market actually needs now.

Theory meets reality. From day one, you’ll work on projects that mirror real industry briefs.
By the end, you’ll have a portfolio of practical work — tangible proof of your readiness to join a tech team.
You won’t do this alone.
Our facilitators focus on practical, hands-on training. Capability Development Leads check in regularly to help you manage the workload and stay on track. It’s a supportive, collaborative environment designed to help you thrive — no matter your background.
Your accelerator can include a mentored work placement with one of our industry partners.
