What our candidates say about us

I have been learning every step of the way. The experiences I got were crazy, I worked alongside Virgin Media and helped create designs for them. It has definitely given me the confidence to believe in my work.

I think it’s great how much support you receive on the programme. University is nothing compared to real work experience. Technology is moving fast, and by the time of graduation, knowledge will most probably be outdated.

An Apprenticeship was the better option for me and got me into the IT industry. I have a broad range of responsibilities now, and being able to use programming languages fluently is fantastic. It’s fun, creative and I now see myself as a Project Manager.
