“During my 12 weeks at _nology one of the most important skills I learnt is to be adaptable. From day one I knew that my future success would depend on my capacity to swiftly pick up new technology and embrace change.

Having settled into my role at QBE, I feel a deep sense of gratitude for the opportunity to collaborate with an exceptional group of individuals. Every day brings new learning experiences as I tackle meaningful projects that directly impact our team’s operations.”

CHARISE

DEVOPS DEVELOPER, ANZ

“Prior to becoming a software developer, I spent 10 years working as a high school Languages Teacher and department head in Australia and Japan. I have seen first-hand the impact good technology can make in the lives of other teachers and so it became a hobby of mine to learn coding.

I came across _nology and really liked that it provided an alternative entry into tech that didn’t involve going back to university for another four years. It helped me to have the confidence that I’d have all the industry skills needed to make the change.”

Meet Howun

Fish & Chip Shop Manager turned Software Engineer

HANNAH

“I’ve always been interested in technology and science, but never thought much of it as a
career when I was younger, so I studied physio instead as I was also interested in the human body and biomechanics. During my years of working in healthcare, I was always keen to learning about the inner workings of medical devices and I saw how much the adoption of digital health technologies improved access to and personalisation of our healthcare services.

Having decided that physio was not the long term career for me, I knew that I wanted to pursue technology and hopefully one day contribute to improving the healthcare experience through tech. I was excited to join _nology who has a very comprehensive and relevant curriculum, as well as great post-course support to help me take that first step into the tech industry.”

ALEX

SOFTWARE DEVELOPER NSW – REVENUE

“I have previously worked in hospitality and retail. After finishing my first degree I enrolled into law school and after a brief internship got my first job in the public sector. I worked in various government departments and roles (mostly customer service and
administration) for about 4 years. – During my last assignment in the Public Service sector I invested into a 6 month part-time bootcamp through LeWagon, which gave me confidence to pursue software development as a career. This led me to discover _nology later on and getting the necessary skills to be industry ready from them.”
