Job Details

Why put off pursuing a career in Tech any longer?  This is your game-changing moment.

ARE YOU LOOKING FOR A CAREER CHANGE?

ARE YOU A GRADUATE NOT UTILISING YOUR DEGREE?

ARE YOU READY TO RETURN TO WORK?

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN A CAREER IN THE FAST-PACED WORLD OF TECHNOLOGY?

If you answered YES to any of the questions above, we have an amazing opportunity for you. 

A unique chance to kickstart an exciting new career in an increasingly diverse and in-demand  sector. You just need to bring an open mind, a thirst for learning, and leave any pre-conceptions  at the door. 

QA’S FREE, 9-WEEK TECH SKILLS  BOOTCAMPS 

The UK’s tech industry is booming. With an estimated  100,000 new opportunities emerging every month –  and average tech salaries topping £53,000 this wide  and resilient sector is alive with career potential.

And the even better news is that there is no one type  of tech person. In fact, it’s an increasingly diverse,  vibrant and in-demand sector, entered into by people  whom you might not expect to. People just like you.

QA’s Tech Skills Bootcamps, part of the Government’s  Lifetime Skills Guarantee and Plan for Jobs, have  one shared goal: to give people – regardless of their  background or level of knowledge – the opportunity  to build new tech skills and secure a fast-track route to  an interview with a local employer. It’s that simple.

There’s four engaging pathways to choose from:  Software Development, Data Engineering, DevOps  and Cyber Security. And they have plenty in common.

HOW DO TECH SKILLS BOOTCAMPS  WORK? 

  • They’re absolutely free for you to attend.  
  • They’re delivered virtually via QA Virtual Classroom  (Software & Data) orface-to-face in our central  London and Manchester offices (Cyber Security  & DevOps) over 9 weeks of full-time learning. That’s 9-5, Monday to Friday – with self-paced  assignments to work through in your own time.
  • They put you through your paces, equipping you  with the key technical skills the world’s leading  organisations covet so highly. Through continual  assessment, you’ll even get industry-recognised  accreditation to prove them.
  • Together with a QA Cloud Academy pre-learning  pathway, covering Python fundamentals and  Cloud literacy, you’ll also learn the soft skills  and work-ready know-how to hit the ground  running. So from presenting with confidence and  preparing a high-quality CV, to readying yourself  for technical interviews – our leading trainers have  your back.

WHEN YOU COMPLETE THE TECH SKILLS BOOTCAMP,  YOU’LL GET:

• Industry-recognised accreditation – depending on your pathway,  you’ll earn certification from Microsoft, PeopleCert and/or SFIA to  seriously boost your employability prospects.

• Your own recruitment support manager, who’ll work straight away to  secure job interviews for local technical roles.

• Exclusive 12-months’ access to QA’s Cloud Academy platform of  hands-on labs, learning paths, courses and quizzes. 

• 12-months’ BCS membership (The Chartered Institute for IT), with  access to Career Mentoring.• A 12-month discount to over 5000+ Microsoft and PeopleCert  technology certifications.

WHAT WILL YOU BE LEARNING: 

Tech Skills Bootcamp in Software Development - you’ll cover  everything up to Software Developer Apprenticeship (Level 4)  standard, including detailed modules on: DevOps and Source Control;  Programming Fundamentals; Building microservices; Java and Spring.
