INSIDE ASHWOOD

What it is actually like to study here

A week in the programme, who teaches you, what happens in the three months after the teaching stops, and what happened to the people who finished. No brochure language.

THE COMMITMENT

Saturdays and Sundays, two sessions a week.

Two live sessions at the weekend, with additional time for independent learning during the week. Session times are set for each cohort and confirmed before you enrol.

THE FORMAT

Live, small, and taught by people who do the job.

Live, not a video library

Taught live by a practitioner. Recordings go up the same night if you miss one.

24 people, never more

Small enough that your mentor knows your name and your project by week two.

One-on-One Expert Doubt Support

Opt for personalised 1:1 sessions with an expert to resolve your doubts and get individual guidance.

OUTCOMES

What happened to people who finished

How we measured this

Surveyed all 5400 graduates from the March 2023 to March 2025 cohorts in January 2026. 4751 responded, a 87.99% response rate. “New role” means a change of employer or job title after completing. Salary figures are self-reported and unverified. Non-responders are excluded, which will bias the figure upward — we have not adjusted for it.
