What is a skills bootcamp?
Skills bootcamps are intensive, full-time training programmes that take place over 8-12 weeks. Each of our programmes has been designed to unlock your full potential and equip you with the skills you need to launch your career in tech, sustainability or healthcare.
Our programmes are online, with live expert instructors, interactive classrooms and mentoring support. We expect presence from learners on programme and you will need your camera on for 100% of learning hours. Not only will you learn the skills you need in the role, you’ll grow in confidence and learn about employability skills, get CV help and guidance as well as interview practice.
These are some of the great companies where our graduates have worked.
“Lack of a degree means nothing when taking part in a generation bootcamp. The generation bootcamp has changed my life completely, not only am I confident in a professional environment but I am also in a job I never thought I would be able to get into a few months ago.”

Flair
AWS re/Start programme
“I’m on a good path. There’s a lot of room for progression. I work with fascinating people. And I actually have enough money to save and invest. God willing, within the next two years, myself and my husband are looking to buy a house.”
Nakai
AWS re/Start programme
“The AWS re/Start programme offered me a way to launch a career in the booming technology industry without any prior tech experience which was a real dream come true. The curriculum not only focused on teaching core tech skills, but also the key soft skills and behavioral mindsets needed to thrive which differentiated it from other bootcamps.”
Taishan
Data Engineering Programme
“I wanted to start a career in tech but found it difficult to find places given my lack of experience, and when I came across the Generation course, I knew it’d be a perfect opportunity.”
Jacob
Data Engineering Programme
“For anyone considering applying to a Generation Bootcamp, I’d say, Go for it! Don’t worry if you don’t feel qualified – the whole point of training programmes like this is to help people who aren’t qualified yet. As long as you’re willing to work hard you will learn a lot of new skills, and everyone around you will help you through any difficulties you face.”
Hassan

Mohigul
Sustainability Project Officer Programme
“When I first found Generation I thought it wasn’t real, I thought it was a scam because it was on social media. They’re an amazing team who support with everything”
