Career programmes
Four structured pathways from no experience to job ready. Recognised certifications, a dedicated mentor while you study, and recruitment support once you have passed.
A job programme is a structured pathway rather than a single course. You take several courses in a set order, gain the certifications UK employers actually name in job adverts, and get recruitment support at the end to turn that into an application that works.
Guaranteed Route to Job Placement on completion. This applies to this programme as stated here and in the programme brochure you receive before enrolling. Full conditions are in our Terms of Learning. Read Terms of Learning.
What we do not claim. We are not your employer and we cannot compel any company to hire you. Certification improves your chances of being considered for a role. It does not on its own set your salary, and anyone promising you a specific figure is promising something they cannot know. Every salary figure on this page is a published UK market range, not a prediction about you.
Choose based on where you are starting from rather than which pays most. The right programme is the one that matches your background, and the wrong one is the most expensive mistake available.

Best starting point
The genuine entry point into the industry and the cheapest way in. Best first choice if you have no technical background at all, because everything else builds on it.

Four questions that narrow it down faster than a brochure will.

CompTIA, Microsoft, Cisco, EC-Council, (ISC)², PeopleCert and APMG. Examinations are sat with the awarding body or an approved test centre, so your result is independent of our involvement and worth the same as it would be from anyone else.
Your main point of contact throughout, by phone, email and video call. Which order to take courses in, when you are ready to sit an exam, and whether the role you are aiming at is realistic from where you are standing.
Online and self paced, with 12 months of access. Most people finish in three to nine months. No classroom dates, no travel, no time off the rota.
Once your exams are passed: professional CV review, LinkedIn guidance, interview preparation and help applying consistently. Full conditions in clause 12 of our terms.
Every claim we make, with the evidence behind it and links to the public registers, is on our credentials and evidence page. Serving and former Armed Forces personnel can use Enhanced Learning Credits: see our ELCAS pages, provider 14012.
A single course teaches one subject and leads to one certification. A job programme is a structured pathway of multiple courses taken in order, with the certifications employers actually ask for, plus mentor support while you study and recruitment support once you have passed. The difference matters because a certification on its own does not get most career changers hired. Knowing which order to take things in, and having someone help you present it properly afterwards, is what does.

The IT Support and Cyber Security programmes start with foundational learning. You can also discuss project management study without previous project employment: experience coordinating work can help, and an advisor can explain suitable entry roles and prerequisites before you enrol.
Course access runs for 12 months and most people finish in three to nine months, depending on the hours they can commit each week. Study is self paced and online, so it fits around shift patterns, existing work and family rather than requiring you to take time off.
Programmes run from £1,095 for IT Support up to £2,999 for AI and Data. Every price includes course materials, mentor support, examination vouchers where stated and recruitment support. There is no separate registration fee. You can pay in full or spread the cost monthly, with longer term credit arranged through Social Money Ltd trading as Dopple, authorised and regulated by the FCA and subject to status and affordability checks. You may be declined.
Training modules and included exams are different. IT Support includes the two A+ exams. The commercial Cyber Security programme includes SC-900, Security+ and CySA+. Project Management includes PRINCE2 Foundation and Practitioner exams; the separate Agile programme includes Agile Foundation and Practitioner exams. Certifications depend on passing the relevant assessments. Check the programme page for the complete package.
National Careers Service ranges, checked 8 September 2026, are £24,000–£36,000 for IT support technicians, £35,000–£76,000 for IT security co-ordinators and £29,000–£75,000 for business project managers. These run from starter to experienced and are not averages or a promise of graduate earnings.
Start from where you are rather than from what pays most. If you have no technical background, IT Support is the genuine entry point and the cheapest way in. If you have strong domain knowledge from a previous career, data suits you. If you already coordinate or deliver work, project management formalises that. Cyber security pays best long term but is realistically reached through IT support first for most people. If you are still unsure, take the career match quiz or call us and we will talk it through.

Yes, all of them. Course materials and video lectures are available on any device, 24 hours a day, so you study around work rather than taking time off. Examinations are sat with the awarding body or an approved test centre, never with us, so your result is independent of our involvement.
