The best project we’ve done was the enterprise competition. We had to set up a real business, run it and make the most profit possible. It was at the end of our course, so we could take everything that we’d learnt and put it into practice in a real business. We had to do everything ourselves, from thinking of an idea to sourcing products and setting a pricing strategy, and then running the company as a team.
You get to learn a variety of different topics that gives you a wide knowledge base. The course is not just focussed on programming, but also includes for instance, business networking. Our tutors are really kind, helpful and supportive. A highlight for me has been the opportunity to work as a team on group tasks, which helps build communication, management and leadership skills.

We’ll help you to discover your potential, build your confidence, and take your next steps with purpose.
