La Fosse Academy develops the next generation of tech superstars. As a student, you'll not only learn the latest tech languages and frameworks, but also the skills to succeed in the workplace, understanding the impact that tech can have across businesses.
We'll equip you with methodologies and practices used in the industry today, which can be applied to a range of tech roles.
Through a series of lectures, assessments, and projects you'll be familiarised with the tools to debug existing codebases, complete timely hackathons, and build complex applications.
Our course is also free to attend*, meaning we assess you based on ability, not the ability to pay.
Unlike other training academies, we don't charge you for the training and support you receive. We want to ensure the course is accessible to people from any background. Tech careers are for everyone. It doesn’t matter if you’ve got previous experience or not; we’re interested purely in your attitude, drive, and eagerness to learn, rather than your educational or financial background.
We value you as an individual and tailor our support services to suit your needs. After being taught by our experienced trainers and supported by a tight-knit network of your peers, you’ll receive ongoing training and mentoring with a bespoke technical and personal roadmap all the way through your potential placement. You’ll have access to our well-being services throughout, and support from our growing community.
Although we cover a range of tech fundamentals, we focus on techniques over tools to give you a wider scope of skills that can be applied to a variety of different roles. We teach students to be tech generalists, developing a more varied knowledge base and, ultimately, a more successful career.
La Fosse Academy is about so much more than technology training. We’ll also familiarise you with organisational structures, roadmaps, performance reviews, goal setting, and other soft skills to ensure you're ‘office-ready’ for your new role and in a great position to hit the ground running from day one.
You don’t need experience to apply. We’re simply looking for individuals with positivity, drive, and a passion for tech. You’ll go through a 5-stage assessment process where we’ll test your attitude and aptitude through a written application, a logical reasoning test, and three interviews. It’s your ability to learn that we are interested in, so be yourself and give it your all!

The course is split into four "laps". Each lap focuses on a different topic and is made up of three parts:
Learn week - Your introduction to the topic for this lap. You'll spend half of your time in lectures and the other half working on exercises to put your new knowledge into practice.
Assignment week - You’ll be evaluated on your progress so far. There’ll be time for self-study, and we’ll set challenges that will hone your skills both individually and as a team player.
Project week - Working in a small team, you'll create an entire product from scratch using the technologies you've learnt in this lap. You'll be able to include these projects in your portfolio, so by the end of the course you'll have four amazing pieces of work to boost your CV and kickstart your career.
At the end of the course, you’ll present your final projects in front of a range of potential employers. We’ll then arrange interviews where you’ll have the chance to impress employers with your new skills and potentially secure a 2-year placement in tech.
Here’s the really exciting part! We’ll provide high exposure to our wide client list and amazing entry-level roles at a company you love. Our associates are now working as software architects, engineers, analysts and more!

We’re extremely proud of our associates and feel so lucky to have played a part in their personal career journeys.
"I came into La Fosse Academy as an English graduate with no connection to the tech industry at all. In 12 weeks I have learnt not only how to be a full stack developer, but I have emerged with a huge network of people in the same industry, with a job, with the skills and support to learn more while I am working. I couldn't recommend it enough."
"I thoroughly enjoyed La Fosse Academy because it gave me the opportunity to showcase my talent, hard work and positive work ethic. Whenever there was an issue the support, both emotionally and professionally was there and everyone gave 110% to fix any issues, providing the best level of education, support, and experience."
Our curriculum teaches a variety of tech skills, tools, and concepts, giving our graduates a wide knowledge base to start their tech careers.
This knowledge can then be applied to numerous different roles, and with the guidance of our expert trainers, we identify placements that can utilise these learnings.
This is an intense course with a steep learning curve. We know the first few years in a new career can be intense, so we will give you access to all the tools to look after your well-being both during and after.
We support you and your manager throughout your continued growth and learning across your two-year placement.
Build a professional network with La Fosse Academy peers, and discuss your experiences with people from diverse backgrounds, on the same journey. You're part of a new wave of people who will lead the tech world of tomorrow.
We offer financial support for students who wish to undertake further certifications and training, giving them the opportunity to develop an even greater understanding and adding to their achievements.
We’re an award-winning training academy that supercharges technology careers. In our intensive 12-week course, you’ll learn technology fundamentals, before being introduced to a leading company for a potential two-year supported placement.
Some of our students are educated to degree level, some aren’t. Some of our students are looking for their first job, and some are changing careers after a decade or more.
Enthusiasm, commitment, and dedication towards taking your first steps in an exciting new career is all we ask – we'll look after the rest.
