3 About Nology Bringing out your tech side. We are all about helping all kinds of motivated and focused people to develop tech skills so they can work in the industry they are passionate about and have a rewarding and progressive career. Our tech conversion training course is designed to overcome the challenges associated with getting into tech. For example, lack of experience is the No.1 reason people can t secure entry level roles. But if no one is going to give you the chance to get experience, how will you ever get it? We re breaking the cycle and we are addressing the issue of unfilled Tech roles in the UK 40,000 at the last count. That number is predicted to rise to 100,000 by Of course, along with challenge comes opportunity: it s worth noting that average earnings in tech roles are 33% higher than the national average. Plus, there are real opportunities to address the fact that just 15% of current tech workers are female or from ethnic minorities. With our conversion course, you don t have to be from a STEM background. Our tools and techniques will enhance and complement your academic, creative, arts or business knowledge and open up many new career paths. We guarantee employment within 6 months, or will refund the costs of your training.
