iO Sphere is a UK-based tech training provider offering 10-week, hybrid, full-time, Experience Accelerators covering topics like analytics engineering, data analytics, and data science. iO Sphere is committed to helping students take the next step in their careers by giving them experience working with a data team before placing them in a job. The first half of the program is entirely remote, but students will need to attend face-to-face sessions for the second half of the training.
Acceptance to the Experience Accelerators program is competitive and some experience working with data may be required for specific programs. Students will complete two rounds of applications and a final interview before receiving a decision.
iO Sphere is designed to help students land jobs after graduation and career support is included in the curriculum. Career services include CV and LinkedIn profile building, interview practice, portfolio creation, and access to a robust community of data professionals. After completing an accelerator, students will receive job placement support with access to an employer network of over 50 companies. Students placed within the employer network will have tuition covered by their employer.
iO Sphere accepts international students, but the bootcamp cannot guarantee placement. International students and students that accept roles outside of the employer network are required to pay tuition. Students that do not find a job paying at least £40k after 6 months will owe nothing for the training.

The hands-on projects were the best bit, allowing me to apply theory to real-world scenarios. The support from coaches and peers helped a lot and also created a fun learning environment. What sets iO-Sphere apart is its commitment to industry relevance.
Fast forward a bit – bagged a spot as a marketing analyst.
If you're on the hunt for a bit more than your standard course, iO-Sphere’s is that. Properly chuffed with the experience. 👍👍Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

Not only was the course material spot on, but the way in which it was delivered was excellent. Whilst having idiosyncrasies and specialties, every tutor united under the concept of immersive learning to form a team dedicated and tailored to facilitate my professional development. Moreover the fees are extremely reasonable compared to their competitors. Thank you Io Sphere!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

My experience of it has been that the coaches put a lot of effort into offering you all the help and support you need. They not only understand what it takes to get a role as a data analyst, but they are also really good at being able to teach you what you need to know no matter what level you are at. So I think the coaches are great and I'm really glad I did the course.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

The course content, support and guidance from the coaches and employer engagement team far surpassed any expectations. As a career switcher from a non-data background, this programme has been a game-changer in my career! I was very impressed by the quality of the coaches who weren't just fantastic educators but also experts in their field. The entire team was approachable and definitely went the extra mile to ensure that I got the most out of the programme. Very grateful to the organisers and the iO-Sphere team for making this programme a reality!Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

If you are looking to get into the Data Science and Analytics space then this is a great opportunity to start. Thinking about switching careers - this is an excellent opportunity too! iO Sphere will give you great insight into the needs and wants of the UK analytics market today, and give you a 10-week program to attune yourself to it, where you learn the latest (in 2024) relevant skills and practice them on Real Client projects. Learn skills like SQL, PowerBI, Python or R, Google Cloud (GCP), Pandas, dbt, Airflow, and/or AWS.
I personally trained in the Data Leaders programme which helped me apply these skills with a live team, and then applied them on a few real projects.
Key thing to make this program useful (for you and me) - know/decide/understand exactly what you want to get out of it at the start. Then you can work with the coaches to navigate towards it.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0
