We do not run a programme without a UK employer ready to host its placements. The disciplines below reflect the gaps the labour market has, not the courses easiest to assemble. Apply now for our June 2026 cohort.
Practical accounting structured around the workflow of a UK SME finance team. Bookkeeping, VAT and HMRC submissions, payroll, management accounts, and year-end preparation.
Software exposure includes Sage 50, Xero, QuickBooks Online, and Excel-based reconciliations. AAT-aligned curriculum where useful for trainees pursuing the qualification in parallel.
Core HR knowledge mapped to CIPD frameworks where applicable. Hands-on practice with BambooHR, HiBob, and Workday at admin-user level.
Right-to-work compliance, employee relations basics, onboarding flows, and performance-management cycles. Trainees finish capable of taking ownership of a UK SME's people-operations rhythm from day one of placement.
End-user support fundamentals, ticketing systems (Zendesk, Freshdesk, ServiceNow at user level), Active Directory account management, basic network troubleshooting, and ITIL service-management vocabulary.
The curriculum prioritises the actual ticket-shapes that UK SME helpdesks see, rather than abstract certification preparation.
Requirements gathering, stakeholder management, BPMN process documentation, SQL fundamentals at a query-and-report level, and Power BI dashboard authoring.
Projects are scoped to mirror real UK consultancy and in-house BA work: define a problem, gather requirements, model the data, present findings.
Performance-marketing fundamentals: paid search, paid social, basic SEO, analytics interpretation.
Trainees run live campaigns with realistic budget exposure during the training, so the placement employer receives someone who already knows what spending money on Meta Ads feels like, rather than someone who has only studied it.
Programming fundamentals, version control as a daily habit, basic DevOps awareness, and cloud foundations at the AWS or Azure entry level.
The discipline most exposed to the qualification-versus-experience gap. A coding-bootcamp graduate with no production exposure is rarely employable on its own. Our programme adds the production exposure as part of the curriculum.
Subject-matter experts delivering scheduled sessions, not asynchronous videos with no accountability.
Hands-on work in the systems you will use during placement: Sage, Xero, BambooHR, Power BI, Active Directory, the live ad platforms.
A defined assessment at the end of training. The placement begins only after it is passed.
UK-registered employer selected before enrolment, scoped in writing, structured as a no-obligation evaluation period for both sides.
At least six months of post-programme support, focused on the first 90 days of permanent employment where outcomes are decided.
From enrolment, before content is accessed. Published in writing before payment, not after.
If you operate a UK SME or scaling business, our placement candidates arrive productive on day one. No commission, no obligation.
