Resources
Curated places to learn, to connect, and to find work. Everything here is free to browse, and the free-to-use options are marked clearly throughout.
You do not need all of this. Pick the page that matches where you are right now, choose a single resource, and start there. Everything else can wait.
01
General Learning Platforms
Where to learn, where to network, and where to look for work. The best starting point if you are not yet sure what you need.
02
Apprenticeships
A paid job with training attached, running from Level 3 to Master’s level. How they work, who they are for, and how to raise it with an employer.
03
Resources by Area of Interest
AI, cybersecurity, cloud, networking, modern workplace, data, development, and project management. Pick the area that pulls you in.
04
Resources by Sector
Fintech, legal, education, public sector, marketing, e-commerce, healthcare, gaming, and charity. Start with the industry you already understand.
Start here
Before you spend anything
The government funds a considerable amount of tech training in England, and awareness of it is remarkably low. Skills Bootcamps, the National Careers Service, and apprenticeships are all free at the point of use. Worth a look before you pay for a course.

Where this came from
These started life inside the book
The resources here were originally a chapter. They live on the site now so they can be kept current, and so anyone can use them without buying anything.
