IT Career Coach Omdömen 

I came from a law background I was really struggling. I wanted to break in project management. After struggling for quite a while. I came across I.T career coach and the service they provided was amazing and helped me to get into the current role am in.

I'm incredibly grateful for the ultimate support I received from IT career coach throughout my journey to land an apprenticeship in data analytics. Their guidance was a true game-changer.

After taking a gap year from college, I found myself constantly applying for apprenticeships and feeling increasingly unsure about my chances. Then, I found my IT career coach, who provided invaluable help in refining my interview skills, enhancing my CV, and crafting a strong personal statement. During moments when I felt hopeless, they kept me motivated and reminded me that all the hard work would be worth it.

Thanks to their encouragement and guidance, I’m happy to say I finally secured an apprenticeship with NatWest Group.

I can’t recommend this support enough for anyone looking to break into the field!

Exceptional support. Coming from a variety of jobs and wanting to move into the IT space, l was assigned Wahaj as a mentor. He meticulously examined my CV and past experiences and set up a plan with me going forward. We settled on the Civil Service and started re-doing my CV and personal statement, ensuring to relate past experiences to the jobs I was applying for. Also he helped me a lot prepping for interviews by conducting mock interviews and also guided me to ensuring my behaviours were well prepared for the interviews. Within months I landed a role as a Problem Analyst dealing with M365 queries. I couldn't have done it without him. His genuineness and consideration is second to none, as well as his knowledge of the IT sector and how to properly search and prep for jobs. Would highly recommend, but be prepared to put in a lot of work because mentors can help, but wont do everything for you, but it'll defo pay off!

I was unhappy, tired, lost and out of ideas working in a job where I saw no career path or progression. I knew I needed to leave but I didn’t know where or to do what. After a consultation with the IT Career Coach, I became less pessimistic and more optimistic about the opportunities out there for me.

We discussed my current skill set and how they could be used to transition into a career in project management. I was assigned a mentor who I would catch up with regularly and he would set me tasks to complete in readiness for our next catch up. As the weeks went on I gained a deeper understanding of IT and project management. I was then supported in tailoring my CV to apply for Junior PM roles. Eventually I started to get interviews and my mentor was always available to get me prepared. Then finally I landed my first role as a junior PM. Within a year into the job I was promoted to PM.

Can’t thank the team enough for helping me turn my life and career around.

I was unemployed struggling to find roles. I approached ITCareerCoach for help. I received assistance in writing a job application, improvements to my CV, and practice for job interviews. I was guided throughout the entire process.

I managed to secure a role within a few months.

Thanks to ITCareerCoach.

As a 50-something year old with many years of call centre experience, I wanted a career change. I was assigned Wahaj as a mentor. His in-depth knowledge of the IT industry was key and his patient and motivational approach helped me to identify IT Help desk as an area that I might enjoy and flourish in. His analysis of my CV and our discussions around my transferable skills allowed me to think about careers I had never considered. Without my mentors encouragement and advice I'd still be stuck in a dead-end job at a call centre with very little opportunities to progress. Thanks in particular to Wahaj, but also the rest of the mentors who shared their knowledge and experiences, and helped me move forward.

After graduating from university, I found myself uncertain about my career path and the direction I wanted to take. I spent a lot of time contemplating my options and felt overwhelmed by the choices ahead. During this period of confusion, I had a conversation with Wahaj, who offered valuable insights and guidance. We discussed my interests and strengths while weighing the pros and cons of various careers. After careful consideration, we both agreed that pursuing a career in civil service would be the most fulfilling path for me, as it aligned with my desire to make a positive impact in my community. With his tips and advice throughout the process, I successfully secured a role. I want to extend my gratitude to Theit Career Coach, especially Wahaj, for his guidance and expertise.

From Feeling Lost to Becoming a Business Analyst with no previous experience.

After deciding to transition into IT, I was fortunate enough to find IT Career Coach. The Mentors Fahim and Wahaj made me feel like their services were tailored specifically for me. Wahaj took the time to understand my goals and guided me towards a career path that aligned with my skills and aspirations, mapping out practical, achievable steps for success.

The journey wasn’t without its challenges—there were moments when my confidence wavered, especially when responses to applications were slow. But with Wahaj's support, I stayed focused, working to develop my skills. While I initially aimed to enter Data Analytics, I ended up landing a Business Analyst role, surpassing even my own expectations.

This process requires dedication and hard work, but I can truly say I would not be in this position without the guidance and encouragement of everyone at IT Career Coach. Thank you for helping me achieve what once felt like an impossible goal.

After deciding to switch to IT, I was fortunate to find this service as Faheem made me feel like the service was literally made for me.

He guided me to choosing a career path suited to my wants at the time and then laid out the practical steps I needed to take.

It is easy to lose confidence after not receiving responses immediately but in the end after trying to get into software testing, I landed a Systems Analyst role which surpassed my expectations.

It takes dedication and hardwork whilst upskilling and making the changes, but I never dreamed I would be in the position I am today.

Thank you to everyone at IT Career Coach especially Faheem.

When I decided to transition back into the tech field as a Systems and Data Analyst, I was fortunate enough to find IT Career Coach. This team, particularly Wahaj and Faheem, guided me through every step of my journey, providing an empowering experience.
My main coach, Wahaj, played a pivotal role in setting me on the right path for data-specific learning. His approach was tailored to my background in post-16 education, where I’d spent years as an Assessor, Teacher, Manager, Head of Apprenticeships, and Head of Quality. Drawing from this experience, Wahaj drafted a learning plan focused on the skills I needed to thrive in a data role. We started with SQL, Python, and Power BI, moving into the PL-300 certification, all of which were mapped to my industry knowledge and goals. Wahaj’s guidance not only covered the technical skills but also made sure I understood how they applied specifically to the context of my existing skills.

Faheem supported me from an employability perspective with leadership coaching. This aspect of the programme was invaluable, as Faheem helped me communicate the value of a Systems and Data Analyst role within my current organisation. With his coaching, I successfully negotiated a new position that allowed me to move from my previous quality-focused role while still working closely with the quality and delivery teams. This unique setup gave me the chance to work with data I was already deeply familiar with, making my transition more impactful.

I’ve now been in this role coming to a year, and I can confidently say it was the best decision I’ve ever made in my career. The continued support from Wahaj and the IT Career Coach team didn’t stop after I secured the role.

IT Career Coach is more than just a service to help you secure a job; they are a full-career support system dedicated to your long-term growth and success. Their coaching has been a transformative experience, and I couldn’t recommend them more highly for anyone looking to make a career change.
