If you are looking to progress a career in website administrator, then this training and placement programme is made for you?
Skills shortages in the IT sector is driving the need for qualified, entry-level career seekers and career changers.
All you need is a desire to work hard and invest some time and money in yourself to build the foundations for a new career.
We help you start your career journey in programming by firstly ensuring you have the necessary industry recognised certifications and skills required to build a career.
We ensure you market yourself properly through a structured career driven cv and LinkedIn profile highlighting your skills, any experience, and relevant transferable skills from other roles.
Finally, our tutors will help you create a credible portfolio to demonstrate your skills and abilities to potential new employers.
We have many years of experience in helping graduates find their first roles in top UK companies and organisations who need to employ entry-level qualified programming staff that can hit the ground running with up-to-date skills gained from this programme.
The programme is specifically designed for individuals with none or limited experience but a real desire to start a career. Therefore, please do not apply if you are already an experienced programmer.
Whether you are working full-time, part-time or are unemployed, this package has the flexibility to be completed at a pace that suits you and can be completed in as little as a few weeks or a few months (see steps 1 to 4 below). Study timings are approximate and assume you can study for a minimum 5 hours per week. *Training times will be reduced if you are able to invest more time each week.
Stage 1 - Learn HTML and CSS (*up to 12 weeks)
The first step is completing a selection of professional and industry-recognised courses. We have carefully selected these courses to give you the most out of both your learning and employment journey.
Training is delivered through multimedia rich video tutorials, presentations and quizzes using an online portal enabling you to study online from anywhere you choose. You will also be assigned an expert tutor and a support mentor who will work with you 1-2-1 or in group sessions to provide additional training and support.
Once the HTML & CSS courses are complete, your trainer will move you forward to the next stage.
Stage 2 - Additional Online Training (*up to 12 weeks)

Learn the Command Line (*1.5 weeks)

Learn JavaScript (*1.5 weeks)
Learn Python 3 (*1.5 weeks)
JavaScript forms the foundation of almost everything you see on the Internet. Therefore, this is an essential addition language in building your programming and development foundation.
Python is a highly versatile programming language and due to its relatively “easy to understand” commands now one of the most common programming languages used. You can use it for both small and complex tasks, and it is used across many different industries broadening your scope of opportunity.
Step 3 - Building a Portfolio Website Project (1 week)
Your tutor will provide you with some exercises and guidelines to help you build your own personalised portfolio. Having a strong portfolio to which demonstrates and showcases your range of skills and ability is essential within a programming career.
In addition, we will now provide additional Study Courses for your continued development and broadening of your skills. Completion of these course is voluntary but recommended.

We will now work with you to help you secure your first role in a role utilising your new skills in a coding, programming, or a web development role. Entry level roles typically start between £25K - £40k dependant on any prior knowledge or experience you may have.
There are many entry level roles where your newly learned skills can be applied meaning a vast array of opportunities are now available to you. Examples of some of these are listed below: -

East Midlands (Hybrid Min. 3 days)
The Opportunity
There are very few roles in the UK market where you can take ownership of a proven, production-grade credit risk model that is already outperforming competitors - and be given the autonomy to evolve it, refine it and directly influence commercial outcomes.
This is one of them.
This opportunity sits within a high-growth, data-driven financial services environment where machine learning is not theoretical or exploratory - it is embedded at the core of how the business makes decisions.
At the centre of this capability is a highly accurate credit risk model, supported by rich, real-world datasets and a continuous feedback loop of internal and external lending outcomes. The model is already delivering strong predictive performance, but the real value lies in how it is developed from here.
This opportunity represents a natural evolution of an already successful machine learning capability, offering the chance to take ownership of a proven model and shape its future direction.
The Role
This is a senior, hands-on data science role focused on credit risk modelling within a commercial lending environment.
You will take ownership of the core modelling framework, working directly on probability of default models and broader decisioning logic that underpins lending strategy. The emphasis is on refinement, optimisation and continuous improvement rather than building from scratch.
You will be responsible for the intellectual core of the models:
Feature engineering across financial, behavioural and transactional data
Algorithm selection and tuning (logistic regression, gradient boosting, ensemble methods)
Model validation, performance optimisation and ongoing recalibration
Ensuring models remain robust in changing economic conditions
You will not be responsible for infrastructure, pipelines or deployment. A dedicated engineering team manages AWS and production environments, allowing you to focus on modelling and analytics.
This is a highly visible role with direct exposure to senior stakeholders. You will be expected to explain model performance, justify modelling decisions and translate technical outputs into clear commercial insight.
The Environment
This is a business that understands the value of data but is still at a stage where impact is direct and visible.
There is:
No large data science hierarchy
No separation between thinking and execution
No dilution of responsibility across multiple teams
You will operate as the central subject matter expert within a collaborative technical environment, with the autonomy to influence both modelling direction and commercial outcomes.
Over time, there is a clear pathway to build out a team and evolve into a leadership role. However, the immediate focus is on hands-on ownership and delivery.
What This Role Is Not
This role will not suit individuals who:
Have moved fully into leadership and no longer build models themselves
Prefer purely strategic or advisory positions without technical ownership
Are focused on infrastructure, MLOps or engineering rather than modelling
Want a large team or established function around them from day one
This is a role for someone who wants to remain close to the detail and take responsibility for outcomes.
The Ideal Profile
You are a hands-on machine learning data scientist with deep experience in credit risk modelling.
You are currently building, refining and optimising models yourself, not delegating that work.
You are likely to have developed your career within:
SME lending, fintech or banking environments
Credit risk, underwriting or decision science functions
You will have:
Strong experience building probability of default or credit scoring models
Advanced Python capability
Experience with algorithms such as logistic regression, XGBoost, LightGBM or similar
A strong understanding of model evaluation (ROC-AUC, Gini, precision/recall)
Experience working with complex financial or behavioural datasets
You understand how your work impacts:
Approval rates
Default risk
Commercial performance
You are comfortable discussing modelling decisions in depth with technical stakeholders, but equally able to simplify complex concepts for non-technical audiences.
Qualifications
You will typically have a strong academic foundation in a quantitative discipline such as Mathematics, Statistics, Data Science, Engineering, Physics or a closely related field.
Many candidates at this level will hold a Master’s degree or equivalent advanced qualification, although this is not essential where there is clear evidence of deep practical expertise in credit risk modelling and machine learning.
What is critical is a strong grounding in mathematical thinking, statistical modelling and problem solving, combined with the ability to apply that knowledge in a commercial environment.
Why This Role Stands Out
Ownership of a high-performing, production-grade credit risk model
Access to rich, real-world data with continuous feedback loops
Direct influence on lending decisions and commercial performance
Strong engineering support, allowing full focus on modelling
High visibility with senior leadership
Clear pathway to future Head of AI / Machine Learning role
Opportunity to shape the next phase of a proven data capability
Package & Flexibility
80,000- 120,000 base salary
Bonus up to 15%
Flexibility to 150,000 for exceptional candidates
