How it works

Three stages. Two gates. One certificate that means something.

Every course runs on a published clock — two weeks per module, hard deadlines, one paid re-sit. Your punctuality, marks, and effort build your SkillBridge Score, which employers use to pick placement candidates. Being on the ball is the curriculum. Course lengths vary — many finish in under 9 months.

Open entry: age 16+, basic English literacy — no prior qualifications needed.

STAGE 1 · WEEKS 1–12

Theory, on the clock

Six two-week modules: lessons, practice question banks, and an AI tutor inside every module for whenever you're stuck. Quizzes marked instantly; written tasks marked by AI against a published rubric.

Gate: pass every module at 60%+, on time.
STAGE 2 · WEEKS 13–32

Search, then work

Build your Showcase Profile, keep a weekly Placement Search Record with evidence, and secure a placement through our Placement Board — at a wage you and the employer agree upfront.

Gate: no placement, no progression. Effort is tracked.
STAGE 3 · WEEKS 33–40

Advance and certify

Advanced modules plus a capstone built from your own placement. Pass it and your certificate is issued, your profile turns Graduate, and you join the Graduate Jobs Board.

Outcome: certificate + lifetime jobs board access.
The SkillBridge Score

Employers don't read CVs here. They read your Score.

Every student carries a live score out of 100, updated automatically as you study. It measures what employers actually care about: do you know your trade, and do you show up on time?
