Discover how our coaching services have transformed their careers.
Having been self-employed my entire career, I had never applied for a job before and wasn’t sure where to start. When I decided to make that leap, The IT Career Coach supported me every step of the way—from crafting my CV to refining my application and interview techniques. I can’t speak highly enough of their guidance and expertise!
Umaar
Service Desk Analyst
I received invaluable support from The IT Career Coach, working closely with Wahaj, an advisor who guided me in building resilience and optimising my CV. Thanks to his expertise, I was able to use the STAR method to effectively communicate my experience and showcase my technical abilities during interviews. His insights were instrumental in helping me secure my current role as a Graduate Software Engineer.
Adil
Software Developer
Wahaj has been instrumental in guiding me towards a rewarding career. The one-to-one coaching sessions were invaluable, especially in preparing me for competency-based interviews, which were entirely new to me. Wahaj took the time to explain each competency in detail, provided practical examples for structuring my answers, and helped me tailor responses to specific roles. With his expert guidance and consistent practice, I successfully secured a job. I highly recommend The IT Career Coach to anyone seeking career advice or interview preparation.
Mustahsin
Project Analyst
Wahaj, Fahim and the team have been a great help right from the beginning. They have advised me on how to decide on my career path, revamp my CV using a professional format, create a LinkedIn account and incorporate keywords into my profile, advised me on interview preparation and much more.
Their advice and support has been priceless and has resulted in me securing a new career path as a BA for a university in Lancashire. I cant thank them enough, i will continue to work with them and i intend to be of help to others on their career journey.
Farhan
Business Analyst
I was unsure about going to university because of the high costs and lack of job security. A friend recommended IT Career Coach, who suggested I consider an apprenticeship. I had no experience and little confidence, and honestly, I didn’t think I stood a chance. But the coaches at IT Career Coach completely transformed my outlook. They helped me with everything—from crafting my CV to acing interview questions. Now, I’m in a Civil Service role, earning a salary I could only have dreamed of at this age.
Shiffa

The team at The IT Career Coach helped me a lot with interview skills and a lot of other IT skills I needed before entering the field of cyber. I’m finally in a cyber job with the guidance provided by you guys, thanks for your help.

Helping you build transform launch elevate advance
your IT career
At IT Career Coach, we didn’t start in tech. As co-founders, Wahaj and Fahim began their careers outside IT, facing limited growth and financial pressures. The shift to tech wasn’t easy, but with the right mentors and determination, we each found a path that changed our careers and lives.
We started by helping friends and colleagues for free—offering advice and support to those stuck in unfulfilling jobs. Watching their successes inspired us to create IT Career Coach, a place where anyone, regardless of background, can get tailored support and build the confidence to break into IT.
In today’s fast-changing job market, many people need clear guidance and structure. Our mission is to help individuals overcome obstacles, realise their potential, and build rewarding careers in technology.

Wahaj and Fahim are doing fantastic work. After nearly three years working in a warehouse, I was able to secure an IT apprenticeship with their support. Wahaj helped me identify the right IT career path based on my strengths and skill set. From rewriting my CV and guiding me through job applications to mentoring me on interview techniques, spotting job opportunities, and recommending valuable courses, he provided unwavering support at every step.
I highly recommend The IT Career Coach. They are genuinely dedicated, going above and beyond to help you succeed in landing a role.

After deciding to transition into IT, Fahim helped me choose a career path that matched my goals and then outlined the practical steps I needed to take. It’s easy to lose confidence when responses don’t come right away, but with his support, I stayed motivated. In the end, though I initially aimed for a role in software testing, I landed a Systems Analyst position—exceeding my own expectations.

Absolutely, yes. Our program is designed to leverage your transferable skills, and with dedication and hard work on your part, we ensure your success. We have numerous case studies of clients from diverse backgrounds who have successfully transitioned into IT careers, demonstrating that with the right guidance, anyone can make this change.
To achieve the best results, we recommend dedicating a minimum of 10 hours per week to your coaching. This allows you to fully engage with the material and exercises provided. However, the actual time you invest can be flexible, based on your motivation and schedule. Consistency and a sense of urgency are key to making significant progress.
The timeline can vary widely based on several factors, including your initial skill level, the effort you put into the training, and current market conditions. Typically, it can take anywhere from four weeks to six months. We aim to set realistic expectations, understanding that the more extensive the coaching needed, the longer it may take to secure a role. Your commitment is crucial to speeding up this process.
Persistence is key. While it may take time, we guarantee that with continued effort and our support, you will succeed. If necessary, you might consider a temporary 'stop-gap' role to manage financial needs while you continue to pursue your ideal IT position. We are committed to providing all the support you need to eventually land your desired role in IT.
Yes, we offer a no-questions-asked refund within the first 30 days if you are not satisfied with our coaching. We strive for your success and satisfaction because much of our business relies on referrals. It’s in our interest to ensure that you receive the highest quality of coaching and achieve your career goals in IT.
If the cost of one-to-one coaching is a concern, we offer two alternatives. First, we can arrange a flexible payment plan that fits within your budget. Alternatively, you can take advantage of our free guides and materials to pursue self-directed learning at your own pace.
Our work experience component involves engaging with real-life projects relevant to the IT field. This practical experience is designed to build your confidence, enabling you to effectively answer interview questions and perform your role with competence. Additionally, we provide references upon completion, which you can include on your CV to validate your experience.
Our coaching is highly personalised, focusing on you as an individual. We take time to understand your unique background, strengths, challenges, and career goals. Rather than just delivering general information, we work with you one-on-one, tailoring every step to fit your lifestyle and aspirations. This includes CV guidance, mindset development, and actionable support at every stage. Unlike mass-market video courses, we limit our coaching to a small number of clients each month to ensure dedicated attention and genuine progress toward your IT career goals.
Over 90% of our clients secure a role within six months. Success largely depends on your commitment and the time you invest. The more dedicated you are, the greater your likelihood of landing a role quickly.
Absolutely. I’m always here whenever you need advice—even after you’ve landed a job. I want to see you continue to grow in your IT career and am always happy to offer guidance as you advance.
