Salary: £27,000 – £35,000 starting salary (junior entry level), progressing to £80,000+


If you’ve been trying to get into data or tech, you’ve probably realised something already - most people don’t struggle because they’re not capable.

They struggle because they don’t have real experience.

That’s why applications get ignored. That’s why interviews don’t convert.

And that’s exactly the gap we built this programme to solve.

Already working as a data analyst? This programme is not for you, please do not apply.

Important - please read before applying

This is a self-funded programme. Course fees apply. Flexible payment plans of up to 12 months are available so you can start without funding everything upfront.

Applications are open to candidates who are based in the United Kingdom or who hold a valid UK visa that permits both study and work.

Candidates currently on a Postgraduate Study Visa (Student Visa) or a Graduate Route Visa (Post-Study Work) are not encouraged to apply, as employment eligibility through this programme may be restricted under your current visa conditions.

This programme is for entry-level candidates and career changers only.

Why Uptrail is different

We started as a UK recruitment agency. We placed people into data and tech roles for years. What we kept seeing was the same problem- talented people being rejected not because they lacked ability, but because they lacked real, provable experience.

So we stopped just placing people. We built a programme that creates the experience employers are actually looking for, then places you directly into their teams.

No other programme in the UK does both.

  • CompTIA Data+ Certification - internationally recognised, employer respected
  • Microsoft Certifications - from an official Microsoft Partner
  • Excel, SQL, Python, Tableau, Power BI - the full analyst toolkit
  • 8 to 10 real-world industry project simulations - actual analyst work, not theory
