Click Start with The Open University
February 8 2025
Interested in learning about cyber security, coding, or AI? Here’s how to get started.
Through the Institute of Coding’s Click Start programme, UK adults can access fully-funded opportunities to develop digital and professional skills. Whether you want to progress in your current role or prepare for a new one, this programme will help you build knowledge and confidence in these key areas.
The programme runs until 30th September 2025, and there’s no cost to participate. This programme is part of the nationwide Click Start training initiative, developed by the Institute of Coding (IoC) and funded by Nominet.
Click Start with The Open University offers flexible, part-time learning experiences tailored for busy adults. The programme has been designed for individuals aged 18-30, but all adults are welcome. Combining The Open University’s educational expertise with real-world insights from employers, this programme equips you with the knowledge, confidence, and employability support needed to enter digital roles, advance in your current job, or pursue further education.
With self-directed online learning, forum support, and regular webinars from experts, employers, and career coaches, you can learn at your own pace. While there are suggested learning pathways, you control which courses you take and when you study – just be sure to plan your time so you finish before the project ends.
To begin, simply complete and submit the online application form. Once approved, you’ll receive details on how to create a login to access the courses through the Click Start portal.
The programme is set to end on 30th September 2025. We recommend starting as soon as possible to ensure you have enough time to complete all the courses you’re interested in.
