Learn the skills job ads are asking for

Enjoy a structured and supported approach to learning data analytics, coding languages and SQL, starting with the fundamentals before moving on to more advanced topics.

The fact that I’ve been able to learn SQL, Python, R, Tableau in a fairly short space of time and do useful things with them is a huge achievement for me.

FAQ

Here are some basic questions
and answers to help you get started.

  • Why choose a Career Accelerator?

    Career accelerators deliver the technical skills needed to perform in real-world roles, the understanding necessary to translate those abilities into meaningful value, the human skills crucial for gaining and retaining jobs, and the reflective capabilities essential for ongoing growth.

    Beyond subject knowledge, you'll also benefit from 1:1 sessions with your Career Coach. They’ll work with you to identify and develop the employability traits and personal skills needed to thrive at every stage of your career.

  • How much does this programme cost?

    The tuition fee for this programme is £8,395, but you can pay as little as £350 a month with one of our flexible payment plans. Ask your Enrolment Advisor about your options.

  • Do I need to attend classes at certain times?

    The majority of learning requirements can be completed asynchronously, in your own time. While attendance is strongly recommended for live webinar sessions and masterclasses, recordings will be made available at the conclusion of each session.

    Live classes run mid week and outside of standard working hours. However, there is a weekly class that is timezone-friendly for the UK and South East Asia.

  • How is the programme delivered?

    The programme is delivered entirely online through a virtual learning environment which is accessible from your personal computer or smartphone. Your personal Success Manager will be available to offer support and guide you through your learning journey.

  • What are the entry requirements?

    Applicants should have an acceptable undergraduate degree, and be able to demonstrate foundational quantitative technical skills, either through relevant educational or employment experience, or by passing a technical test. English language proficiency is a prerequisite. Those who meet the initial requirements must then complete an admissions interview to further demonstrate competency and aptitude, as well as attitudinal fit appropriate to the programme’s intensive nature.

  • What is the role of the industry and employer partners?

    These partners add industry experience to coursework development, share tech expertise and play a direct role in the portfolio project design. Through their insight into the ever-changing landscape in the digital economy, they ensure you develop skills aligned to workplace demand, offer exposure to employer networks and open up access to job opportunities.
