A New Start in IT

At just 23 years old, James Adewunmi decided to pursue a career in IT. Originally from London and now based in the North West of England, he began his journey with ITOL Recruit’s IT Technician Job Programme — a decision that set him on a clear path toward employment.

Overcoming Financial Hurdles

Understanding that cost can be a barrier, the team at ITOL Recruit worked closely with James to set up a monthly payment plan. This flexible option allowed him to get started without delay and made his training journey accessible from day one.

Supported Every Step of the Way

James had consistent access to his tutor throughout his training. This personalised support was particularly important as he prepared for his CompTIA Network+ exam, which he sat in June.

Additional learning resources and guidance from his tutor gave him the tools to stay motivated and succeed.

First Job in IT Secured

Thanks to months of focused study and dedicated preparation, James successfully landed his first role in tech. He is now working as a First-Line IT Support Technician in the North West — the first step in what promises to be a long and rewarding career in IT.
