about us

Our Mission for Online Training

We provide an accessible alternative to traditional degrees for individuals with limited access to higher education opportunities. Our goal is to remove barriers to career advancement through four core principles.

Affordability

While universities offer valuable programmes, their costs often exclude those managing existing responsibilities. We distill career-critical skills into high-quality, focused training at a fraction of the price.

Flexibility

Balancing work, life, and education is challenging. Our 12-month, 200-hour career paths let you learn at your pace - during weekends, holidays, or any spare moments - without compromising on your existing commitments.

Relevance

Technology evolves rapidly, and outdated training means you could be developing obsolete skills and knowledge. We update courses annually at a minimum to reflect the latest industry demands, ensuring your skills stay current.

Professionalism

Technical expertise alone isn’t enough. Our programs integrate soft skills and workplace context, preparing you to excel in IT roles. Learn not just the technology, but how to thrive in the industry.

Our Story

We didn't start from square one. Square Skills was founded by a former director of a Government-funded IT education company, with decades of experience helping diverse learners achieve career success. We fill the space in IT training for people who have limited access to higher education opportunities. Our courses are for highly-regarded certificates from providers like CompTIA, where holders report a 40% higher salary compared to non-holders. We focus on growing fields like cyber security and network engineering, empowering career changers to transition into tech without sacrificing financial stability.
