Scoping call
Thirty minutes with a lead instructor to place your actual level and rule out the programmes that would waste your time. Roughly one call in five ends with us recommending nothing at all.
The method
How a cycle runs.
Four stages across eleven weeks. The calendar is fixed in advance and does not move.
Taught weeks
Four hours a week, arranged how you like. One assignment every fortnight, marked by the person who wrote the module, with comments on your work rather than a grade on it.
Project on real data
A brief from a partner company, or your own if you have one. Real constraints, real mess, a stakeholder who wants something specific. No invented exercise at the end of the cycle.
Review and certificate
You defend the work in front of two practitioners, one technical and one from governance. The certificate records the brief that was assessed, not the hours you attended.
What we hold to
Instructors are in practice
Every track is written by someone who currently does the job. When the practice changes, the module changes, because the person teaching it hit that change at work first.
Marking is done by hand
No automated grader, no peer marking. The person who wrote the module reads your submission. It is the most expensive thing we do and the reason completion sits at 94 per cent.
Cohorts are capped at thirty
Above that, marking quality falls and the forum stops being a place where people admit they are stuck. We would rather run more cohorts than larger ones.
