FAQ's

Play

Is there a training bond and is training paid?

There's no training bond. You may have heard about a training bond at other organizations that use a similar model to Wiley Edge, so it’s understandable if you’re worried. But please don’t let it put you off the idea altogether!

What makes Wiley Edge different?

The guidance we provide graduates with, from the application stage right through to the second or third year of your career, is what sets us apart. 

We also don't require a training bond, and you'll never be charged for leaving the program.

What do you need to know to join the program?

Very little! As a specialist in bridging the skills gap, our industry-aligned training helps you translate academic theory into execution. 

The only training pathway that needs some prior knowledge is software development. For all others, we look for people who’ve studied a practical subject with transferable skills, and a genuine interest in the industry or role.

How will your role develop?

As an Alumni, your development journey begins with industry-aligned training at the Wiley Edge Academy – and there’s lots more to look forward to afterwards.

Once you start working with one of our clients, you’ll embark on a continuous learning program that’s mapped to your role. This includes three elements. Mandatory training, recommended training and optimal training.

Are you a contractor?

No, you’re employed by us as a permanent member of staff. This means we handle a lot of the tax, legal and HR aspects of your work on your behalf  – unlike contractors, who are self-employed and so have to do most of that themselves. 

It’s understandable if you find this confusing, we know it’s complicated.

University taught me a lot of concepts and theories, whereas the Wiley Edge training helped me become a professional developer.
