Intimate, interactive and industry-led

Whether Houdini is new to your pipeline - or your teams need to level up their skills - Mastered Skills Bootcamps are a high-quality, affordable way to develop your people.

As part of the national Skills Bootcamps programme, we can provide flexible, personalised, on-the-job technical training - all with the government picking up the bill. No catches.

Personalised, practical and adaptive

Curriculums are based on what your people, pipeline and studio needs, not off-the-shelf. Cohorts are 4-7 of your people, because we believe in learn-by-doing: fundamentals blended with hands-on practical work, guided by a mentor with industry experience. And the course adapts as we learn more about your people and what they need help with most.

One-to-one support

To ensure each person achieves the upskilling goals, training is augmented with 3 one-to-one sessions, to dig into specific problems or challenges. Plus, regular self-assessments with their mentor ensure skill growth - and learners’ confidence in using those skills - is mapped over the programme. 

Bespoke schedule aligned with your roadmap

Whilst training is an investment that is massively valued by staff, we know it can be one of the first budgets to be cut when savings are needed. As approved providers on Skills Bootcamps, up to 90% of the costs for training your team will be funded by the government.
