Women in tech

Your experience counts.

The course is not only for women. But many women have taken a step back in their careers, often to look after family. We want to help rebuild confidence and get you back to where your experience says you should be.

Where many people start

A job that fitted around home

Shifts that suited family life

Many people in contact centres are bright and experienced, and feel stuck. The job fitted around home life. Now home life has changed, and the job has not moved on with them.

Skills that carry over

You already deal with difficult people, tight timings and several systems at once. Those skills are used in technical roles too.

The numbers

Why it matters

22%

Share of UK IT specialists who are women (2025)

20%

Share of UK AI roles held by women (down 4 points since 2020)

Employers want to change those numbers. Contact centre experience is a natural bridge into technology.

How the course helps

Confidence first, then a faster route back

Building confidence

The course starts from where you are and builds up one topic at a time, with instructors who know the industry. Taking a step back does not mean you have lost what you know.

A fast track back

A quicker route back to the level you should be at, using the experience you already have. The course cannot promise a job.

Working with charities

We are looking to work with charities and community organisations to help more women back into technology.

Built around real life

Taught live, online

Real instructors from the industry

The course is taught live by people who work in the industry. It is not a set of pre-recorded videos.

Online

No travel. All you need is a computer and a headset.

Paying for it

Who pays

There is more than one way to fund a place.

Self-funded

You pay for your own place.

Your employer

Some employers pay for their people to reskill. If you would like to ask yours, the page for employers explains it from their side.

Government subsidies

Government subsidies may help towards the cost. We are looking at how to make this easier.

The price and payment arrangements are confirmed in writing before you pay.
