What it is
Where you are now
What you do, what you have done before, and what you already know — including the things you taught yourself and never got a certificate for. Most people undersell this part.
02Career consultations
Overview
A conversation about your career, not a sales call
The IT training market is confusing on purpose. There are hundreds of certifications, most course pages tell you what is in the syllabus rather than what it is worth, and the honest answer to “which one should I do?” depends entirely on where you are starting from and what you are aiming at.
A career consultation is twenty minutes with somebody who teaches this for a living, working out which route is yours. It is free, there is nothing to sign, and it is the same conversation whether you end up training with us or not.
How it works
What we cover, in order
01
Where you want to be
A job title, a salary, a shift pattern, or just “out of what I am doing now”. Any of those is a workable starting point.
03What actually gets you there
Which certification employers in that field are advertising for, in what order, and how long each one realistically takes alongside a job.
04What it costs, in writing
The course, the exam, the resit policy, and whether there is funding you qualify for. Before you commit to anything.
Four things worth knowing beforehand
It is free, and it stays free
There is no charge and no obligation. You can have the conversation and go elsewhere.
Twenty minutes, usually
By phone, online, or in the academy in Middlesbrough. Longer if you want it.
A person who has done the job
You are talking to a trainer, not a call centre working through a script.
We will tell you not to
If a course will not get you where you want to go, or you are already qualified enough and need experience instead, that is what we will say.
