About the provider
Tech career accelerators help individuals rapidly prepare for careers in the technology sector. We focus on specific skills and roles that are in high demand, such as business analysis, data analytics, software development, and UX/UI design.
Our programmes are designed to create professionals, not students. We help people quickly gain the skills and knowledge to secure a job in tech, even if they come from non-technical backgrounds. Our Innovative training approach has helped many people launch new careers.
These programmes are short-term, ranging from ten to twenty weeks. They are intensive, with full days in classes, workshops, and hands-on projects.
The programme is tailored to meet the current demands of the tech industry. The programme has been developed with input from industry leaders, ensuring participants learn skills employers are actively seeking – now. Participants gain industry recognised, NZQA approved Micro-Credentials.
Instead of just theoretical knowledge, participants work on real-world projects to apply what they’ve learned and build a portfolio. So at the end of the programme, you can also show employers your work experience.
Employers want people with prior work experience. Our unique mentored work experiences pairs candidates with mentors from our 220+ industry partners. These mentors offer guidance, feedback, and insights from their own experiences. Candidates can list this work experience in their CV and LinkedIn profiles, and often our mentors also agree to be a reference during the job search phase.
