IT Contracting Bootcamp

Course details

IT Contractors typically earn 2-3 times the salary of an equivalent "permanent" IT employee, and enjoy an enviable degree of career flexibility. Market analysis shows that UK IT Contractor earnings rose 6% year on year between 2013 - 2015, and this trend shows no sign of abating.

With permanent IT roles disappearing at an alarming rate, there has never been a better time to be an IT Contractor. Many IT Professionals are reluctant to take up contracting, perceiving it to be far riskier than it actually is, or believing that they haven't got the skills or experience to be a contractor. Contracting is however, less risky than permanent employment, and no special skills are needed. Contracting does, however, require confidence and a particular mindset.

This course will take you through the transition from working in permanent roles to a career in UK IT Contracting. It is equally suited to those just starting their careers as well as more experienced IT Professionals. After working through both video and audio lectures, quizzes, exercises and worked examples, at the end of the course you will have the knowledge and confidence to get your first IT contract and begin a successful career in IT contracting.
