Learn practical digital skills for the workplace of today
Digital Innovator Bootcamp
Build the digital toolkit employers are looking for: hands-on and instructor-led, without the need for coding.
Learn the skills the digital workplace expects: structured, practical and without the jargon
The digital workplace is moving fast, and the gap between where you are and where you want to be doesn’t have to stay that way. Over 10 weeks you’ll build practical skills across AI, project management, data and design: the kind that make you genuinely useful in any digital role.
From building your own AI agents to demystifying data and sharpening your presentation skills, you’ll leave with digital fluency you can put to work straight away.
Who it's for
Is this course right for you?
This course is for anyone who wants to learn the tools of the digital workplace properly, and come away with skills they can use from day one. No prior experience is required.
- 01
The Career Changer
You know the future is digital, but every course you've looked at seems to assume you want to be a developer. You don't: you want the skills that power the workplace, not the ones that build the products. The question isn't whether to change, it's how to do it without starting from scratch.
You'll graduate with a practical toolkit across AI, project management, data and design, and a clear, credible path into digital roles that don't require a single line of code.
- 02
The Professional Playing Catch-Up
You're capable, organised and experienced, but the tools your workplace uses are moving faster than any training you've had. Nobody's ever formally taught you the right way to use the tools that actually matter. You've been winging it, and you're ready to stop.
You'll come away with structured, transferable skills across the tools and systems digital workplaces actually run on, and the confidence to use them properly, not just well enough.
- 03
The Ambitious Early-Career Professional
You've finished your studies (or nearly) and the gap between what employers expect and what education taught you is real. Every job wants experience, and nobody wants to be the place you get it. You need skills that are immediately useful, not theoretical.
You'll leave with real, demonstrable digital skills: AI, data, project management, design tools and a portfolio of work that shows employers what you can actually do from day one.
What you'll learn on this digital skills bootcamp
We know that trying something new might seem a bit daunting, so this is what you’ll learn:
- 01
Tools to Get You Started
Every digital professional needs a toolkit, and this is where yours begins. You'll set up and start working with Notion, Figma and Canva: three of the most widely used tools in modern digital workplaces. By the end of week one, you'll already be building something real. Your toolkit will evolve as the course does, but these are the foundations everything else gets built on.
- 02
Project Management & Presentations
Getting things done in a team requires more than good intentions. You'll learn how to structure work, manage tasks with Kanban boards and move projects forward with clarity. Alongside that, you'll sharpen how you present ideas, because the most technically capable person in the room is still overlooked if they can't communicate what they know.
- 03
AI Elements
AI isn't one thing; it's a range of tools, each with different uses, limitations and risks. You'll build your own AI agent using Gemini Gems, understand what different models are actually doing and learn where the boundaries are. The goal isn't to use AI for everything; it's to know when to use it and when not to.
- 04
Data and Data Visualisation
Data is only useful when you know what to do with it. Over two weeks you'll work with SQL, databases and data visualisation tools, learning how to connect to raw data, query it meaningfully and turn it into something other people can act on. No maths degree required, just a willingness to look at problems differently.
- 05
Project Work & Career Support
Every week you'll apply what you've learned to a real, workplace-relevant project. By the end of the course you'll have a body of work that demonstrates actual capability, not just attendance. Career support runs throughout: CV, LinkedIn, interview prep and guidance on where your new skills are most in demand.
Delivered two days a week, around your working life
Every session is live and instructor-led: two days a week for 10 weeks, designed so you can keep working the rest of the week. You’ll learn hands-on alongside a cohort, working in teams on real workplace projects rather than watching lectures.
Join in person at our Norwich, Leicester or Cambridge campuses, or live online, whichever fits you best. Either way you’re learning with a tutor and a community, with support that continues after you graduate.

Notion - I was able to build a new portfolio website for myself. I also built a few different pages as part of my interview process for job applications - which was very effective. Figma and Canva which I use all the time in my daily life now. Overall the course was hugely beneficial to me and I am very grateful I was able to do it. Thank you.

On this course, I have learned how to use professional digital tools to modernise my business. I now know how to use Trello to manage my team and projects so nothing gets missed. I learned how to use Canva to design high quality posters and website wireframes which makes the brand look much more professional. I also learned how to use Mailchimp for email marketing and Google Forms to collect data from customers.

Digital Innovator Graduate
During the first five weeks, I have developed a digital toolkit that I am applying directly to my business. I have mastered Notion and FigJam for better team collaboration and implemented the five-stage project management framework with RACI matrices to improve accountability. Additionally, I’ve integrated AI tools like Gemini for faster research and used Excel to drive data-led decisions. These skills allow me to operate with a more efficient, world-class mindset.
Dan Apps
Digital Innovator Graduate
I developed valuable skills in project management, teamwork, and data organisation. I learned to use various tools for scheduling, programming, and managing data efficiently while also identifying and prioritising stakeholders. Additionally, I gained a foundational understanding of Artificial Intelligence and how to apply it across different contexts. I also strengthened my knowledge of design principles and marketing fundamentals. Altogether, these experiences have improved my productivity and broadened my professional skill set.
Kimia Saadat

I have knowledge of the stages of project management and the techniques that support them. I understand the differences between AI, ML, and LLM, as well as their applications. I have developed skills in using several digital tools: Notion for note-taking, Canva as a creative design tool, FigJam for collaborative tasks, and Mailchimp for creating engaging emails for subscribers. I also have basic experience with Trello for task management and organisation. We explored office suite applications, spreadsheets, and the principles of creating presentations.

Digital Innovator Bootcamp Frequently Asked Questions
Funded places are available through government and combined-authority Skills Bootcamps; otherwise it’s £5,000, with payment plans and scholarships. Funded cohorts currently run in Leicester & Leicestershire, Hull & East Yorkshire, Slough & Berkshire, Norwich & Norfolk and Ipswich & Suffolk, plus online; check your eligibility on our booking page.
You just need to be comfortable with everyday computer use; there’s no coding requirement and no prior experience needed. The course builds your digital toolkit from the ground up, so you go from the basics to confidently using project-management, AI and data tools.
It’s a Level 4 course in the practical digital and AI tools the modern workplace runs on. Over 10 weeks (two days a week) you’ll build a toolkit around Notion, Figma and Canva; learn project management, Kanban and presentation skills; build your own AI agent (e.g. with Gemini Gems) and learn to use AI safely; and spend two weeks on data, SQL and data visualisation, finishing with hands-on project work and career support.
Because the workplace gap is huge: 52% of the UK workforce can’t do all 20 of the essential digital tasks for work, around 21 million adults (FutureDotNow/Lloyds Bank), a gap FutureDotNow estimates costs the UK economy over £23bn a year. Fluency in modern digital and AI tools makes you measurably more employable; the UK wage premium for AI skills tripled to 34.2% in 2025 (PwC).
People who want to be more effective and employable in a knowledge-work role. Whether you’re upskilling in your current job, changing careers, or entering the workplace and want the digital and AI tools employers actually use. No technical background required.
It’s a Level 4 mapped qualification, equivalent to the first year of a degree. The course is not accredited; we map KSBs to IFATE standards at an equivalent level and use RARPA to recognise and reward progress and attainment within the course.
It runs 10 weeks, part-time, two days per week, designed so you can keep working the rest of the week. Study online or in person at our Norwich, Leicester and Cambridge campuses (more regions funded), always instructor-led with a cohort.
Book a call from the course page and we’ll cover fit, funding eligibility and upcoming dates, or download the curriculum. In a funded region? Check that location page for current availability.
