Government-funded IT Skills Bootcamps in London can reduce your training costs by up to 70% — making a £950 CompTIA Security+ course cost as little as £285. But are they genuinely worth it? And how do you actually access the funding?
Skills Bootcamps are short, focused training courses funded through the UK government’s National Skills Fund. They are designed for employed adults who want to upskill quickly. Employers contribute 30% of costs; the government covers the remaining 70%. If your employer declines to contribute, some providers (including eStudyIT) can still access the funding through alternative routes.
Unemployed applicants may be eligible for an Advanced Learner Loan (100% course funding, repaid only when earning over £25,000).
At eStudyIT, the following courses are available through Skills Bootcamp routes:
For eligible learners, yes — unambiguously. The question is not whether the certification is worth doing (it is), but whether you qualify for the funding. If you do, you are getting the same training, the same instructor, the same exam preparation and the same certification for 30p in the pound.
The certifications you get through Skills Bootcamp are identical to those bought at full price. Your future employer will not know (and would not care) how you funded your training.
Eligibility checks at eStudyIT take 24 hours. The full application process from first contact to starting your course is typically 1–2 weeks. You can call us today and start training within a fortnight.
Places are limited. Skills Bootcamp funding is allocated on a first-come basis and closes when the funding is exhausted. Contact us now: +44 (208) 459 6264 or info@estudyit.co.uk. See the full Skills Bootcamp guide →
