Their expertise made even the most advanced topics feel accessible

Tinu joined the Click Start Peckham Digital Accelerator Zone (DAZ) programme to expand an already strong technical background and bring more creativity into her approach. She was specifically drawn to the focus on creative applications of coding, hoping that this new perspective would enhance her skillset and increase job prospects. The programme, developed by the University of the Arts London (UAL) and UK Black Tech, offered exactly what Tinu needed.

“The programme was incredibly valuable, thanks to its thoughtfully structured modules, coupled with the supportive mentorship from UAL professors. Their expertise made even the most advanced topics feel accessible, while their encouragement added significant value to each session.”

The programme covered key technical areas like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Python, offering a hands-on experience that went beyond the theoretical. This approach helped Tinu develop real-world applicable skills that complemented her existing technical foundation. One of the most transformative experiences was the Natural Language Processing for Creatives course, which introduced the world of AI, a field she hadn’t previously explored but found highly relevant for modern tech roles.

“A standout moment for me was the Natural Language Processing for Creatives course, which introduced me to the world of AI in both accessible and inspiring ways.”

As she progressed through the programme, Tinu realised that these new skills were giving her an edge in the job market and was soon successful in securing a full-time position in the tech industry. Tinu still draws on her new skillset, especially her knowledge of AI and creative coding, which have allowed her to excel in her new role. Reflecting on the journey, she credits the supportive learning environment at Peckham DAZ and the guidance from UAL as instrumental to her success.

Now, working in this field, I regularly draw on the creative perspective I developed here. A huge thank you to Mark, the UK Black Tech Team, my course tutor Marysia, the fantastic instructors, and UAL for creating such an inspiring and inclusive learning environment.”

Through the Peckham DAZ programme, Tinu was able to bolster her technical skillset with creative applications of technology, making her a more versatile and appealing candidate to employers. Her story illustrates how the right training can open doors, empowering people to step confidently into new roles with a broader, more innovative outlook.
