Employment support and one-to-one guidance

The company offers recruitment support to enrolled students, which it describes as guaranteed. This service includes CV optimisation, interview preparation, work experience using real client files, job search strategy coaching and LinkedIn profile optimisation. Training is presented with personalised one-to-one support, flexible schedules, full software setup and technical support.

Stated data on results and experience

In its own presentation, the company states that 89% of participants show significant skill improvement, that the employment success rate with its training is 95%, that more than 1,000 students have enrolled in its programmes and that it has accumulated more than 15 years of combined experience in the sector. It also states that it has placed thousands of students in their chosen careers and that its graduates have been hired by global companies.

Enrolment process and programme delivery

The pathway described begins with a career consultation and registration, in which a consultant assesses the applicant's experience and qualifications and recommends the most suitable programme; the place is secured with an initial deposit. The student then starts training with a laptop and a stable internet connection, and the trainer sets up the learning portal, installs the necessary software and adds the student to the support group. Upon completing the programme, the student receives the corresponding certification and gains access to recruitment support for their job search.
