What is a Skills Bootcamp?
Skills Bootcamps are short duration, flexible courses, giving people the opportunity to build up sector-specific skills. Skills Bootcamps are funded in part by the Department for Education / UK Government. They are free to learners, with Employers expected to contribute an amount towards the training.
Our 12-week Skills Bootcamp in Data in Financial Services is unique to the sector and gives those working in financial services the knowledge and skills to understand, explain and present the data that they use as part of their jobs, in a way that meets the needs of the wider organisation.
Places on the Skills Bootcamp can also be extended to include any other roles where data is interpreted and used by individuals within financial services, such as in operations, and front and back office roles, strengthening both organisational and industry-wide data proficiency.
