For individuals who are looking for new employment using these skills, the course is totally free (contact via: employmentsupport@weston.ac.uk).

We’re also going to be delivering a new Bootcamp programme from October: Project Management with AI, again mostly funded by DfE. 

Both courses are day release, one day per week over 12 weeks, with additional twilight online engagement, weekly, on Wednesdays (5-9pm), otherwise the day release delivery is face to face at our new Bristol site at the City Centre.
