Belfast Digital Skills Academy

There will be two Digital Skills Academies with Version 1 which will be delivered simultaneously. Both Academies are fully funded by the Department for the Economy and delivered in partnership with Belfast Metropolitan College (BMC).

Each academy is an eight-week intensive training course delivered through a mix of onsite learning at a BMC campus and virtually. Each academy will prepare you for an Associate Consultant position working in Software Development and Service Desk areas of the business.

If selected for one of the academies youll receive training in:

• Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900)
• Cisco
• Java
• Human insights
• Agile/ project management
• Business and Green Skills
• Software testing

Those taking part will get a weekly training allowance of 180 for the length of the Academy as well as help with travelling and childcare costs where people qualify.

If you successfully finish the training youll be guaranteed an interview with Version 1 to complete a further 4-weeks specialised training. However successfully finishing either Academy is not a guarantee of gaining employment.
