IT Contractors typically
earn 2-3 times the salary of an equivalent “permanent” IT employee, and
enjoy an enviable degree of career flexibility. Market analysis shows
that UK IT Contractor earnings rose 6% year on year between 2013 –
2015, and this trend shows no sign of abating.

With permanent IT roles disappearing at an alarming rate, there has never
been a better time to be an IT Contractor. Many IT Professionals are
reluctant to take up contracting, perceiving it to be far riskier than
it actually is, or believing that they haven’t got the skills or
experience to be a contractor. Contracting is however, less risky than
permanent employment, and no special skills are needed. Contracting
does, however, require confidence and a particular mindset.

This course will take you through the transition
from working in permanent roles to a career in UK IT Contracting. It is equally
suited to those just starting their careers as well as more experienced IT
Professionals. After working through both video and audio lectures,
quizzes, exercises and worked examples, at the end of the course you
will have the knowledge and confidence to get your first IT contract and
begin a successful career in IT contracting.
