£4,000


Maybe you're already self-employed, but you're watching clients choose competitors who offer more than you do, and you know you need to add something to stay in the game. Perhaps you're heading towards self-employment and need a solid starting point rather than just figuring it out as you go. Or you've spent the last few years raising children, and you're ready to build a career that works around school hours rather than against them.
Whatever your situation, you've got the time right now to invest in yourself.
This isn't a passive online course you watch at your own pace. It's a live programme that runs Monday to Friday for three weeks. You'll learn in-demand digital skills or AI-powered app building, create a portfolio of real work, and get direct support to land your first self-employed gig.
No hidden fees. No catch. Just real-world digital skills training delivered by teacher-qualified professionals who run their own successful businesses.
You're stuck at home with no clear direction forward.
You want to work for yourself but don't know where to start.
You've got ideas but lack the skills to make them happen.
You're worried about money and need to earn soon.
You want something more than sending out CVs and hoping.
If that sounds like you, that’s where this fully-funded training comes in. This Government-backed skills programme - normally worth £4,000 - is available at no cost to you.
