Where we actually are

We would rather show you the real numbers than impressive ones.

We ask employers to trust unproven people with real work, and we ask practitioners to put their name on the review. Both are easier if we are straight about where we are. So this page carries the real numbers, including the ones that are zero, and what we have got wrong so far.

Figures as at 14 September 2026

Example brief · anonymised, real format

This is exactly what a brief looks like.

Not a template and not a sample project. This is the format an employer scopes, a learner delivers against, and a practitioner marks. The client here is anonymised at their request. Nothing else has been tidied up.

Nurcareer work orderNC-2026-0412

ClientManufacturer, 340 staff, East of England. Anonymised at their request.

ProblemThey screen job applications with a bought-in tool. Nobody has established whether it is in scope, and nobody owns finding out.

ScopeClassify the system against the Article 6 and Annex III tests. If in scope, assemble the technical file to the Annex IV structure.

Not in scopeChanging the system, talking to the vendor, or advising on whether to keep using it.

Duration4 weeks

ReviewerIn-house data protection officer, 11 years, marks against the criteria below.

DataNo personal data. Vendor documentation and system configuration only.

Risk tier argued against Article 6, with reasoning a regulator could challenge and the argument still hold
Data governance record complete, every field traceable to a named source
Human oversight plan the HR team would follow on a busy day, not one written for an auditor
Written classification opinion under four pages, readable by a non-specialist director
Reviewer sign-off, signed and dated

How it runs

Stage 01

We scope it

Twenty minutes with you. You do not have to arrive with a brief written. We write it and send it back for your approval.

Stage 02

You approve or change it

The acceptance criteria are yours. Change them, cut the scope, or say no. Nothing starts until you are satisfied.

Stage 03

It gets delivered

Two to six weeks. You are not managing anyone. We are.

Stage 04

A practitioner marks it

Reviewed against your criteria before it reaches you. Revisions are normal. Rejection is possible.

What this costs you

No fee

The brief is free. The briefs are how we build the course, so real work is what we are actually buying.

About an hour of your time

Twenty minutes to scope, and roughly two hours of your reviewer's time at the end. That is the whole commitment.

No recruitment fee

If you hire the person who did the work, you owe us nothing. It is in the agreement, in writing.

Signed agreement before anything starts. You own the deliverable. We retain the right for the learner to reference the work in a portfolio. No personal data unless separately agreed. Explicit right to reject.

What is running, and what is not

Running now

Business Analysis taster, free, self-paced
Employer brief scoping across Cambridgeshire
Reviewer recruitment in AI governance and cyber GRC

Not yet, despite what you may have read

Full cohort programmes. None have run
Mentor network. We have reviewers, not mentors, and the two are different
Placement support. No pipeline exists yet
Apprenticeships. We are not on the register and cannot deliver them

What we got wrong

We published figures we could not substantiate: An earlier version of this site carried learner numbers, mentor counts and a graduate employment rate. They were projections presented as results. We have removed them. If you saw them and made a decision based on them, we are sorry, and you are welcome to contact us about it.
We built the course catalogue before the delivery capacity: We listed tracks we were not ready to run. Everything is now labelled open, in development, or waitlist, and we would rather look smaller than overstate.
We approached employers before we had reviewers: A brief with nobody credible to mark it is worse than no brief. We changed the order and now secure the reviewer first.

How we handle numbers

When a cohort finishes, we publish a report: how many enrolled, how many completed, how many were hired, into what roles, at what salary, and how many we cannot account for. The method and the denominator are stated every time.

We do not publish an outcome figure without them. If you find one on this site that lacks them, tell us and we will take it down.
