The IoC is working with partners to connect employers and learners through a series of nationwide Skills Bootcamps that give people the digital skills needed to take the first step into a tech career.

UPDATE: Many of our Skills Bootcamps are underway. We currently have several Skills Bootcamps open for registration and expressions of interest. We will be continuing to launch new Skills Bootcamps throughout the 2023. Please check our Skills Bootcamp course catalogue to see all available options and sign up below to receive an email when future programmes launch.

 

What are Skills Bootcamps?

Skills Bootcamps are flexible courses of up to 16 weeks that give people the opportunity to build up sector-specific skills and fast-track to an interview with a local employer. They are being developed as part of the Government’s Lifetime Skills Guarantee, helping everyone gain skills for life.

They are designed for people who want to upskill quickly to work in specific tech-driven sectors (e.g. construction or web development) or for those who want to gain in-demand digital skills applicable to multiple areas (e.g. data science).


How much do they cost?

A single Skills Bootcamp (per person) will be provided at no cost for learners who meet the eligibility criteria and are accepted by a Skills Bootcamp provider onto a specific programme. Please see the Skills Bootcamp listings using the button below to view the eligibility requirements.

Please note – learners who qualify may only enroll on one Skills Bootcamp.

Employers who wish to upskill existing employees through the Skills Bootcamps will receive a 70% discount from standard programme fees. If you are an employer looking to upskill existing employees or hire Skills Bootcamp grads, please email ioc@bath.ac.uk to learn more.
