We believe in peer-led learning, collaboration and mutual support. Our candidates go through a rigorous selection process to ensure that they’re the right fit for our programmes.
Employers appreciate the diversity of our candidates, their high level of preparation, their willingness to learn, and the continuing opportunities for professional development with us well beyond the end of the apprenticeship.
We also welcome apprentices sponsored by their current employer and, just like any other candidate, we will give them all the support they need to prepare for their apprenticeship.
Our software developer apprenticeship consists of up to 80 in-person training days delivered over 12-24 months. The schedule is typically one day per week, but can be shaped around the needs of our partners.
The core curriculum is focused on full-stack development in JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js and React, but we can adapt the content to meet any platform or language requirements.
We act as both recruitment and training partner, helping you find and train some of the most motivated and diverse aspirants to a career in software development that you will find anywhere, fully funded through the apprenticeship levy.
Our small size means that every partnership matters to us. We believe in strong working relationsips, embracing the ever-changing needs of our industry, and the quality of the learning environment that we create for our apprentices.
