SME & partner network
Taught by people who
still do the work.
Every domain track is specified and reviewed by practising subject matter experts — engineers who hire, brief and sign off work in that discipline this week, not a decade ago.

How we choose them
The bar is deliberately narrow, because a mentor who left industry five years ago teaches the industry of five years ago.
- 01
Currently practising
Active in the sector now, in a role that involves specifying, reviewing or hiring.
- 02
Ten years or more
Enough time in the field to have seen more than one way of doing it go wrong.
- 03
Has hired at this level
Has sat on the other side of the table for the exact roles our candidates are targeting.
- 04
Reviewed content, not just delivered it
Every module in a track is signed off by the SME who owns it, and reviewed when the industry moves.
Profiles are being published as each SME signs off.
Our mentors are named individuals with reputations of their own, so their profiles go up with their agreement rather than ahead of it. Ask us which experts cover your discipline and we will tell you.
Ask about your disciplineWhat a mentor does
Four jobs,
none of them cheerleading.
01
Reviews your work
Assessment answers, case studies and documentation, marked the way it would be marked at work rather than at university.
02
Runs the mock interview
Technical questions from their own hiring, with feedback that names the specific answer that lost you the room.
03
Adjusts your path
Where the generated learning path misses something the sector actually wants, the mentor overrides it — on the record, with a reason.
04
Tells you when you are ready
And when you are not. A mentor who signs everyone off is worth nothing to the candidate or the employer.
