From zero to tech job in 12 weeks — is it really possible?

"Twelve weeks to change your career" sounds like a bootcamp advert. So we ran the numbers on our last three Transition Into Tech cohorts to see what really happens.

The honest data

• 67% of graduates land their first paid tech role or freelance client within 6 months.
• 18% take between 6 and 12 months (usually while balancing other jobs).
• 15% pivot mid-program — some to product management, others back to their original industry but now with digital skills. That is also a win.

What separates the fast movers

Three things, every single time:

1. They ship real projects publicly. GitHub, LinkedIn, portfolio site.
2. They apply while learning. The first 20 applications teach more than any tutorial.
3. They lean on the community. Alumni referrals close the majority of first offers.

Is 12 weeks enough?

It is enough to become employable in front-end web dev, data analysis, no-code building or QA. It is not enough for deep specialisations (ML research, systems engineering, security red-teaming). That is fine — you keep learning on the job.
