All Skills Bootcamps run for 16 weeks – with some catch up weeks included. Each week your knowledge will increase and allow you to put your learnings into action to make an immediate difference.
Whilst we appreciate that lives are busy, our Skills Bootcamps are funded so that over the 16 weeks, you will achieve massive growth both personally and in business, but the funding rules state that you must attend live (online or in-person) to have the hours qualify towards the total of 62 (the total hours of the programme). If you’re unable to commit to the schedule above, we kindly ask that you join a future programme when the timing works better for you.

It’s Free (funded) for anyone unemployed or self-employed. If employed (including limited companies), depending on your company size, you only pay a percentage of the cost. Courses are heavily subsidised, and the employer is asked to pay a 10% contribution (if employing fewer than 250 employees) or a 30% contribution (if employing more than 250 employees). For an SME, the cost will only be £338.
