If you answered YES to any of the questions above, we have an amazing opportunity for you.

QA'S FREE, 9-WEEK TECH SKILLS BOOTCAMPS

The UK's tech industry is booming. With an estimated 100,000 new opportunities emerging every month - and average tech salaries topping £53,000 - this wide and resilient sector is alive with career potential.

And the even better news is that there is no one type of tech person. In fact, it's an increasingly diverse, vibrant and in-demand sector, entered into by people whom you might not expect to. People just like you.

QA's Tech Skills Bootcamps, part of the Government's Lifetime Skills Guarantee and Plan for Jobs, have one shared goal: to give people - regardless of their background or level of knowledge - the opportunity to build new tech skills and secure a fast-track route to an interview with a local employer. It's that simple.

There's four engaging pathways to choose from: Software Development, Data Engineering, DevOps and Cyber Security. And they have plenty in common.

HOW DO TECH SKILLS BOOTCAMPS WORK?

• They're absolutely free for you to attend.
• They're delivered virtually via QA Virtual Classroom (Software & Data) orface-to-face in our central London and Manchester offices (Cyber Security & DevOps) over 9 weeks of full-time learning. That's 9-5, Monday to Friday - with self-paced assignments to work through in your own time.
• They put you through your paces, equipping you with the key technical skills the world's leading organisations covet so highly. Through continual assessment, you'll even get industry-recognised accreditation to prove them.
• Together with a QA Cloud Academy pre-learning pathway, covering Python fundamentals and Cloud literacy, you'll also learn the soft skills and work-ready know-how to hit the ground running. So from presenting with confidence and preparing a high-quality CV, to readying yourself for technical interviews - our leading trainers have your back.

WHEN YOU COMPLETE THE TECH SKILLS BOOTCAMP, YOU'LL GET:

• Industry-recognised accreditation - depending on your pathway, you'll earn certification from Microsoft, PeopleCert and/or SFIA to seriously boost your employability prospects.

• Your own recruitment support manager, who'll work straight away to secure job interviews for local technical roles.

• Exclusive 12-months' access to QA's Cloud Academy platform of hands-on labs, learning paths, courses and quizzes.
