In our pursuit of quality education and training in the world of IT, we stand firm in our belief: quality over quantity. This isn’t just a motto; it’s a foundational principle that shapes how we approach every aspect of our work.

 

We don’t believe in the typical bootcamp. For us, it’s about diversity, value over volume, and putting in the real work. I have observed, especially for those without an IT background, how important it is to invest time in understanding information.

 

True mastery comes from dedication, hard work, and an environment that supports genuine understanding.

My journey from social scientist to Linux System Administrator is a testament to the immense potential that resides within each of us. Having earned 10 professional IT certificates and achieving the highest level of the AWS Certification Path, I’ve seen firsthand that while making a switch can be tough, the rewards are truly fulfilling.

 

While tech was a calling, I was equally driven by a deeper mission: addressing the obvious gender inequality in the tech industry. With women frequently underrepresented, our goal is to transform this narrative.

 

Our curriculum is designed keeping YOU in mind. Every lesson, and every module, is tailored to ensure that you are not just equipped with technical knowledge, but also the confidence to use it.

Our AWS SysOps Prep course will give you the knowledge and confidence that you need to become a Certified AWS SysOps Administrator.

CompTIA Security Plus logo

The Security+ Cert Prep course is designed to help individuals prepare for an important industry-recognized certification. The Security+ certification can also be your first step in getting a government security clearance. So, by taking this course and passing the exam, you’re not just preparing for a great job in cybersecurity, you’re also opening the door to exciting opportunities in GovTech.

Step 3: 2 months apprenticeship

We aim to break the Catch 22!

The program extends beyond certification as it is complemented by a 2 month apprenticeship that aims to bolster your experience.

 

Addressing the classic employment paradox, we aim to help you shatter the so-called ‘Catch 22’ – the predicament where employers require experience before offering a job, yet you need a job to gain experience.

 

Our apprenticeship offers a solution by providing hands-on exposure, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world application. This experience will pave the way towards securing your first high-paying job, helping you to stand out among your peers.
