The traineeship is completed in 4 easy steps, you can be placed into your first role in as little as 6-12 months:

Step 1 - Full Data Science Career Training

You will begin your data science journey by studying a selection of industry-recognized courses that will take you from beginner level all the way through to being qualified to work in a junior Data Scientist role. Through the interactive courses, you will gain knowledge in Python, R, Machine Learning, AI, and much more. You will also complete mini projects to gain practical experience and test your skills while you study.

This step will fully prepare you for the professional projects that you will undertake in step 4 of this process.

At the end of this step, you will complete a short online multiple-choice exam to showcase your understanding of the courses before moving on to step 2.

Step 2 - CompTIA Data+

The exam is 90 minutes long and can be sat either in your local testing centre or online.

Step 4 - Practical Projects

Now that you have completed your theory training and official exams, you will be assigned 2 practical projects by your tutor. The projects are the most important part of the traineeship as it will showcase to employers that you have skills required to work in a data science role. The projects will use real world scenarios where you be utilising all of the skill that you have learned.

Whilst you are progressing through the projects, you will have the ongoing support from your personal tutor. Once both projects have been completed and given the final sign off, you will have completed the traineeship and will be ready to move onto the recruitment stage.

The Best Free Tools & Platforms to Practise Machine Learning Skills in 2025/26

Machine learning (ML) has become one of the most in-demand career paths in technology. From predicting customer behaviour in retail to detecting fraud in banking and enabling medical breakthroughs in healthcare, ML is transforming industries across the UK and beyond. But here’s the truth: employers don’t just want candidates who have read about machine learning in textbooks. They want evidence that you can actually build, train, and deploy models. That means practising with real tools, working with real datasets, and solving real problems. The good news is that you don’t need to pay for expensive software or courses to get started. A wide range of free, open-source tools and platforms allow you to learn machine learning skills hands-on. Whether you’re a beginner or preparing for advanced roles, you can practise everything from simple linear regression to deploying deep learning models — at no cost. In this guide, we’ll explore the best free tools and platforms to practise machine learning skills in 2025, and how to use them effectively to build a portfolio that UK employers will notice.

The Future of Machine Learning Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Machine learning (ML) has become one of the most powerful forces reshaping the modern world. From voice assistants and recommendation engines to fraud detection and medical imaging, it underpins countless applications. ML is no longer confined to research labs—it powers business models, public services, and consumer technologies across the globe. In the UK, demand for machine learning professionals has risen dramatically. Organisations in finance, retail, healthcare, and defence are embedding ML into their operations. Start-ups in Cambridge, London, and Edinburgh are pioneering innovations, while government-backed initiatives aim to position the UK as a global AI leader. Salaries for ML engineers and researchers are among the highest in the tech sector. Yet despite its current importance, machine learning is only at the beginning of its journey. Advances in generative AI, quantum computing, robotics, and ethical governance will reshape the profession. Many of the most vital machine learning jobs of the next two decades don’t exist today. This article explores why new careers will emerge, the roles likely to appear, how today’s roles will evolve, why the UK is well positioned, and how professionals can prepare now.
