You’ll gain real skills, real projects, and real work experience — backed by mentors, facilitators, and a support team that’s helped over 1,000 people launch new careers in tech.

Career-Focused, Not Classroom-Bound

We don’t train students — we develop professionals.

Every accelerator is built around one goal: helping you secure a tech job. You’ll learn the tools, habits, and mindsets employers look for and graduate with both the skills and the experience to prove it.

Immersive, Hands-On Learning‍

Our accelerators are short and intense. You’ll train full-time through workshops, industry projects, and guided practice — not lectures.

In just a few months, you’ll build technical capability and career confidence that might take years through traditional routes. 

Industry-Relevant Skills‍

Each programme is developed with input from employers, recruiters, and industry mentors — so what you learn reflects what the market actually needs now.

You’ll earn NZQA-approved micro-credentials that prove your skills and help you stand out in the job market.

Project-Based Learning

Theory meets reality. From day one, you’ll work on projects that mirror real industry briefs.

By the end, you’ll have a portfolio of practical work — tangible proof of your readiness to join a tech team.

Support at Every Step

You won’t do this alone.

Our facilitators focus on practical, hands-on training. Capability Development Leads check in regularly to help you manage the workload and stay on track. It’s a supportive, collaborative environment designed to help you thrive — no matter your background.‍

Mentored In-Work Learning Experience

Your accelerator can include a mentored work placement with one of our industry partners.

You’ll work alongside professionals, apply your new skills to real projects, and gain experience that can open doors to your first role in tech. More importantly, you get a local reference.
