What you need

You will be comfortable with and have an interest in technology. Determined and hardworking. Full of beans and eager to learn. An innovative thinker as happy in the classroom as you are on the job. On your own or as part of a team. Most of all, you must be keen to succeed. If you've got real drive and commitment, there'll be no stopping you.

You might have just left school or college. Or perhaps you fancy a career change after a couple of years in the workplace. Whatever your background, we ask for at least five GCSEs at grade C (or equivalent). This should include Maths and English Language.

On top of all this, you'll need to live near Leeds or Slough. The programme is based in these two locations so you'll need to be able to get to work easily every day. And you won't mind spending up to two weeks in other locations if a placement is based elsewhere.
