About the provider
Break into the tech industry with confidence.
Mission Ready’s Tech Career Accelerators are intensive, NZQA-approved programmes designed to turn motivated people into job-ready professionals in as little as 10 to 20 weeks. No prior tech experience required.
You’ll gain real skills, real projects, and real work experience — backed by mentors, facilitators, and a support team that’s helped over 1,000 people launch new careers in tech.
We don’t train students — we develop professionals.
Every accelerator is built around one goal: helping you secure a tech job. You’ll learn the tools, habits, and mindsets employers look for and graduate with both the skills and the experience to prove it.
Our accelerators are short and intense. You’ll train full-time through workshops, industry projects, and guided practice — not lectures.
In just a few months, you’ll build technical capability and career confidence that might take years through traditional routes.
Each programme is developed with input from employers, recruiters, and industry mentors — so what you learn reflects what the market actually needs now.
You’ll earn NZQA-approved micro-credentials that prove your skills and help you stand out in the job market.
Theory meets reality. From day one, you’ll work on projects that mirror real industry briefs.
By the end, you’ll have a portfolio of practical work — tangible proof of your readiness to join a tech team.
You won’t do this alone.
Our facilitators focus on practical, hands-on training. Capability Development Leads check in regularly to help you manage the workload and stay on track. It’s a supportive, collaborative environment designed to help you thrive — no matter your background.
Your accelerator can include a mentored work placement with one of our industry partners.
You’ll work alongside professionals, apply your new skills to real projects, and gain experience that can open doors to your first role in tech. More importantly, you get a local reference.
We actively connect you with hiring companies and recruiters.
You’ll get interview coaching, CV and LinkedIn support, and access to the exclusive Mission Ready Professionals networking events.
4/5 Mission Ready candidates are employed within 12 months because employers know our graduates deliver.
Tech moves fast — and so do we.
Our curriculum is reviewed and updated frequently to reflect the latest tools, methods, and trends in software development, UX/UI, data, and business analysis.
