Simulation-Based Work Experience Programme

Real professional work, in a realistic environment, assessed as you go. You finish with a portfolio that shows an employer what you can do — not a certificate that says you turned up.

How it works

Six steps, one portfolio

  1. 01Apply and choose a disciplineTell us where you're heading; pick the track that matches.
  2. 02Get your briefA realistic scenario with a client, constraints and a deadline.
  3. 03Do the workProduce the artefacts the role produces — not multiple-choice answers.
  4. 04Get assessedStructured feedback on the work and the thinking behind it.
  5. 05Build the portfolioYour evidence is compiled into a shareable, verifiable record.
  6. 06Take it to marketApplications, interviews, promotion conversations — with proof attached.

Who it's for

People who can do the work but can't prove it

Career changers, graduates, returners, and people already in a job who need evidence to move up rather than sideways.

What you leave with

Four things, all yours

A completed simulation, assessed artefacts, a structured digital portfolio, and a clear account of how you made your decisions.

To confirm before launch

Start date, duration, weekly time commitment, cost or funding, eligibility, cohort size, assessment model and certification status. Nothing is stated here until you've confirmed it.

Join the founding cohort

Founding participants shape the programme. Smaller group, more direct access, and your work becomes part of the evidence that this model works.
