How Things Work

Technology bootcamps and training programmes for people looking to get into tech

Our Academy Process

  • Submit an application, complete interviews / assessment day and a technical aptitude test. Get ready to start!

  • Training lasts anything from 6 to 12 weeks depending on the topic. You’ll learn all the practical skills that will get you ready for a role!

  • We’ll then help you find projects to work on, either through us directly or an employer in your area. We’ll give you all the support you need to help you secure interviews and employment.

  • After you start working, we’ll be here to support you in a range of ways, from ongoing learning, mentoring and career advice.

“I’d be lying if I said training was a breeze, because it certainly wasn’t! Computer languages were completely alien to me and there were many times where I felt overwhelmed at the beginning. However, the lessons I had with CTA provided me with many skills in a short amount of time, like understanding basic programming and test automation. The trainers were incredible and helped solve many problems I had, even those that seemed incredibly difficult at first. Completing the tasks I was given was very rewarding and any feedback I was given was extremely helpful.”

Application Process

At CTA, we don’t just accept differences, we celebrate them. Internally, we thrive from our differences and want our employees and learners to be proud to be themselves and proud to be part of CTA. Externally, we utilise those differences to help our clients and leaners strive for a more diverse and inclusive world.
