Real-world skills training
We use phrases like “real-world skills,” and “career-ready skills” to convey two important ideas:
- Our programmes are relevant
- Rather than simply acing an exam, our programmes will teach you skills that will prepare you for a career
Milestone-led learning defines our unique approach to online training. It is not self-guided or learning at “your own pace.” There are very specific milestones learners must complete in specific timeframes. This ensures they do not fall behind in their overall coursework.
Future-first content – We talk about the “digital future”
Community – When we talk about our community, we are always highlighting how active, vibrant, and innovative it is.
In-person and online community infrastructure.
On-going career support
A key USP of joining ALX is that your journey does not end after graduation. The support is continuous and ongoing with many different offers to support your career journey.
Upon graduation, learners can apply to be part of The Fellowship to help launch and grow their career.
