About us

We’ve supported over 6,000 creative professionals from over 95 different countries, to get paid for what they love. Photographers, art directors, graphic designers, fashion designers, stylists, games programmers, VFX artists, XR developers - we’ve loved seeing our creators win new clients, get jobs, return to work, and accelerate in their careers.

We believe the job and skills demand is immense in the creative industries. Creators impact on the economy and the culture they shape will only increase. All whilst offering the potential for meaningful work, good salaries and tremendous creative possibilities.

We teach the technical skills that employers need right now. Connect mid-level and senior talent with mentors to take them to the next level. Coach managers to improve their confidence in leading in creative environments. Help makers find lifelong collaborators. Support career returners with their job search. Connect jobseekers with hiring partners with open job positions. We do all of these things, and more, in our mission to help creators succeed.

Our focus is your job

We are not in this to help you pass an exam. Everything from how your learner experience will mirror the world of work, to the career coach you’ll work with, to the skills you learn, the tools you use, and the people you collaborate with is geared towards either getting you a job or helping you progress in-work.

Tech-enabled and human-led

There really is no end to brilliant free learning content or cheap courses out there. We pick up where these resources end, providing you with the human support to give you feedback, to hold you accountable, to keep you motivated, and to deal with all the difficult human challenges, like low confidence, that comes with progressing your careers.

Personal, flexible, memorable experiences

We work with many different types of learners, all with differing work, life and care commitments. Our experiences have been designed to take this into account, catering for everyone from the busy manager who is leading a demanding production, to a recent graduate who is working a zero-hours contract.

For the mavericks and outsiders

We’ve made a career of not fitting in and we’ve made a bootcamp for people who are the same. The world is magnificent in its diversity and industry needs new voices, creators and storytellers, which is why we work hard to open doors to those who have been shut out for too long.

Your network is your power.

Collaboration enables success.

Skills to survive and a great mindset to thrive.

Experience trumps ideas. Motivation trumps experience.

Always be making.

Our lives and loves, families and friends, work and well-being have been challenged like never before in recent times. However hard it may seem right now, we believe that from challenge can come growth. Our interest in the creative industries is in its potential to not just help people find good jobs, but also as a chance to reshape our future at work.

More secure, better paid work

The creative economy is unparalleled freedom for some, and underpaid, precarious work to others. Our training offers opportunities for full-time work, long-term project contracts, short intensive highly lucrative commitments, and everything in-between.

More creative and fun work

World-building is ultimately a creative pursuit, whether you're an artist or a programmer. You'll need to devise new stories, imagine new worlds, invent from a blank piece of paper and express your own ideas. Creative industries have almost limitless potential to shape the world around us.

More purpose and impactful work

Game artists are creating new social narratives. Architects are changing how communities interact. Film makers are rethinking how we see our lives. VR developers are building empathy. We are blown away by the potential for creators to create new narratives, for a new world.

More opportunities for all

We want to ensure that the people creating the new world represent the people that will inhabit it. The future belongs to creators, regardless of their age, gender, geography, family situation, or learning style. Brands, clients and companies are demanding 'newness' and we're sure that diversity and inclusion is the answer.

The best way to predict your future is to create it
