Jinsha George
“Digital Futures invested time in me and supported me. I came in with insecurities about my skills and struggled with imposter syndrome. The Academy helped me fill my technical skills gap, instilled confidence in me and taught me what I really needed to know. I was looking for someone to be in my corner, and the team at Digital Futures always was.”
Matthew Hewitt
“The teaching we received in Python was amazing – on our client placement, we are seen as the Python experts in our team, which is a testament to the training we received in the Academy. I am applying the skills I learned directly. I feel like in terms of practical knowledge, I learned more in 3 months at Digital Futures than I did in my entire time at university.”
Iqra Finiin
“My lack of experience was a massive barrier. In hindsight, I really needed to do the Digital Futures Academy. I needed the training, from technical to professional skills. If I’d gone straight into a corporate job I would have found it so difficult.
Being part of Digital Futures is amazing - there is so much support at every stage of the process.”
