This input not only helps to ensure that our courses are aligned with current industry skills demands but also means that you will benefit from a range of industry level activities and lessons. This includes sessions delivered by industry experts, visits from guest speakers that are at the forefront of their sector and receiving industry standard ‘live briefs’ that will require you to work on the types of projects you would be completing in the workplace.
We strongly believe that if we are going to help you to achieve a job in your dream career it makes sense to work with employers to ensure our courses are helping you to develop the technical and professional skills you’ll actually need when you enter the world of work.
