About our Academy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our academy originated internally when we realized that traditional 12-week bootcamps weren\u2019t effective. Challenging traditional norms, we started our own training program for new recruits and existing staff \u2013 using innovative approaches. We took a more holistic method \u2013 including preparation for the commercial environment with ongoing support and mentorship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The success of this showed a gap in the market: effective and inclusive training\/upskilling that could help plug the digital skills gap. In 2023 we were selected to provide UK Central government and public sector organizations with training through our academy (DALAS framework).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
