Hear from our learners

“Since completing my Skills Bootcamp in Data Analytics and Machine Learning I have been offered a job as a Power BI developer.”

I absolutely think that the course contributed towards me being offered the job, both through the content of the course, and the support I got in terms of refining my CV and personal statement.

James, Skills Bootcamp in Data Analytics and Machine Learning

“The workshop was a fantastic opportunity to work with other writers, explore new ideas and learn through critique.”

By the end of the Writing for Young People Writing Workshop I had added an additional 10,000 words to my manuscript. Receiving critique was very helpful and I always felt supported and encouraged. It was lovely to be in a creative space with other writers each week.
