The people behind your learning

Learn from industry professionals who review your projects and share their experience in live sessions. Behind each programme, our education team and Content Leads develop and update the curriculum as tools and working practices change.

How Senior Team Leads support your learning

Senior Team Leads are industry professionals with extensive experience in their fields. They review your projects one to one and run workshops and open sessions.

During project reviews, they question your decisions, identify gaps in your understanding and help you work out what to improve and why. You may meet with different STLs across your reviews, learning from professionals with different backgrounds and areas of expertise.

I came to Turing College already working in AI, but I wanted a structured way to get from prototypes to systems that hold up. […] Real deadlines, senior and peer reviews on every project, and feedback that met me where I was instead of a one-size curriculum. […] I took several projects all the way to deployment.

Programme Supervisor

Monika brings experience in marketing, content and user experience design to shaping Turing College’s programmes. She works with subject experts to turn complex concepts into clear learning materials. A former Turing College learner herself, she now helps shape that experience for others. She believes education should give people the independence to think for themselves and find their own way of doing things.

Content Leads

Each Turing College programme has dedicated Content Leads who work with our education team to develop and maintain the curriculum. They bring industry experience and knowledge of current tools and working practices to what you learn.

We update the curriculum whenever changes are needed, rather than waiting for a scheduled review. New research, changes to tools and feedback from learners and mentors can trigger updates, sometimes weekly or even daily. These can include revising explanations, replacing outdated tools or adjusting projects to reflect how the work is done today.

How Turing College began

In this video, Turing College’s founders tell how wanting to learn to code led them to start a college. Their first project was a partnership with Harvard University that brought Harvard courses to Lithuanian high schools.

They talk about the hardest early decisions, from finding a business model to turning down a multi-million-dollar contract that didn’t fit their aim of building a high-quality college. They chose to focus on accessible education, and explain why they believe practical skills matter more to your career than a certificate.
