The Contractor's Academy Avis 26

I bought this course because I am desperate for change in my career. I’d been caught in a bubble and without realising it, wasted so much time on a job/career that wasn’t doing anything for me anymore. I recently got told that after 10 years of being overlooked and clocking in the hours (often extra unpaid hours) my job has been put “at risk.” My honest reaction was to laugh, because it just made something click. Immediately I started looking at ways to change my career, maybe even pivot into something new, and that’s when I came across The Contractor’s Academy and got the course. It’s fantastic. A real, no-nonsense way to put yourself first when it comes to your career. I finished the course in three days and will now look to work on everything to be in a position to leave my job before they do it for me. The only reason I don’t give it five stars is because I need to see it work in practice, but the testimonials are clearly true and what people have been saying here bodes well, too. Fingers crossed.

Absolutely great stuff. Have learnt so much and now that I've started the course, and eager to start working on things, especially with expanding my network and recruiters network.

Phenomenal; I’m already onboarded with loads of recruiters with a much better onboard rate given my improved CV and overall portfolio

Nothing to complain about - self-paced, and a lot of valuable info presented in a non-complicated way. No waffle, pure real-life, useful career advice that could definitely earn you an extra tens of thousands of pounds a year.

Good course, teaches exactly what you want it too

We had an initial consultation before buying the course and it really gave us the confidence that this is wha we were looking for. Now, having purchased the course and having gone through 25% of is already… I have no doubt this will really help us financially in the mid and maybe even short-term!

The people I spoke to before buying the course were lovely and the auto-enrol is super simple

The SME consultations were tremendous and well worth the investment if you're serious about contracting. Tiago Was Knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and really understood where I was coming from. I left every session feeling a lot more confident and have since landed multiple contracts (both in the UK and abroad)!

Has helped me get contracts within healthcare (including NHS) straight out of college! I don’t work 9-5 which I really feared, but still earn the same as I would. Hopefully, build a career like this.

The course looks very nice and is really helpful in how it delivers content. I think the pop-up element could use some improvement but that is a very minor thing that I personally didn’t like too much but didn’t affect my learning.

A good course that really opens up opportnities for many professionals. I am in healthcare and this has REALLY excited me about the professional profespects and the ability to earn more while doing what I love and feel passionate about every day. Loved the course - very empowering and I think everyone, especially in this gloom of an economy that we face, could benefit from it.

Legit company, immediately given access to e-learning course

I've been a freelancer for years but felt stuck, unable to scale my income effectively. TCA's course opened my eyes to a whole new approach. Module 6, focusing on recruiters and bidding strategies, was especially enlightening. It's armed with new insights, and I've already landed a major contract in a sector I never had considered before. If you’re ready to level up your freelancing game, this course is the real deal.

I’ve started to contract within the French market and I have noticed the market becoming more and more interesting to the point that i thought it would be worth looking into the opportunities in Italy, Spain, Portugal and the Uk as well. I didn’t find many courses or material to teach or inform on this, only the one provided by The Contractor’s Academy. I was a bit hesitant at first because it is only for the UK, but as it was quite cheap, I felt it was worth the risk. The course was surprisingly good and gave me everything I needed to understand the UK contracting opportunities and has a lot of information which I think will help me with other European countries, especially the bigger economies. Very good, practical and not too long.

I have been working as a contractor for a few years but not as efficiently as I thought. Module 4 in particular highlighted things that would have benefited my work had I not been in a car accident last December. I am now passing the information I have learnt through the course to my daughter who is 19 and will be taking this course also to learn how to contract and make a lot more than she would have otherwise and consolidating her incomeat an early stage in her life to give her an advantage in the markets.

After graduating from UCL, I was really struggling to land my first role. I would get interviews but fall at the later stages (often due to clearance). A friend from UCL told me about TCA; I purchased the course and got a consultation session. The course was a revelation and taught me things I had never even heard about before. But it was my session with Annabel that tied everything together. Since then, I've landed a contract in Dubai and will be able to return to the UK with solid international experience in my field. It's been nothing short of transformational.

The HtBaC course gives you all the tools needed to achieve a much more fulfilling career. I'm currently working on what I've learnt, and one month in, I feel very optimistic!

I have been working as a freelancer across Europe for a few years with some success. However, I was aware that if I were to achieve my ambitions, I needed to step things up and become more efficient. That is precisely what the contents of this course have done. Within months, I have transitioned from being a freelancer to a contractor (something the course covers) and have been able to infiltrate the UK market and bolster my revenue streams. I've seen a significant increase in my skill development and am starting to see the same in my network.

In only three consultations, I went from being down and depressed to having an actionable map to completely change my income, work-life balance and career. I'm starting to work on the contracting infrastructure and have never felt so excited about my work prospects. If you're feeling lost or are struggling with a career block, this may well be the answer you've been looking for!

In less than a year, my real disposable income grew by approximately £37,800, which meant I can invest more, have more time and work less if I wanted to. The course works and the team at TCA are genuinely a pleasure to speak to also
