Career Accelerators

Go further, faster, with a Career Accelerator

Career Accelerators are intensive but flexible online programmes designed to help ambitious working professionals make rapid and meaningful progress in their careers. Designed and delivered in partnership with online education company FourthRev, our career accelerators combine the power of industry experience and university education to ensure you learn the most relevant skills at the highest level.

Over six months, you’ll engage in project-based learning structured around weekly deadlines. The part-time, online learning format allows you to arrange your study time around your work and life commitments. In the final Employer Project, you’ll apply what you’ve learnt to a lifelike scenario based on a challenge set by one of our real-world partner companies.

You’ll leave the Career Accelerator with a set of portfolio-worthy practical skills in up-to-date frameworks and technologies, a mindset shaped by higher education and expert coaching, and the recognition of a King’s certificate.

Investing in my professional growth wasn’t an easy decision, but looking back, this was the best career investment I’ve made. The ROI is real – I now have the confidence, skills, and credibility to grow my career in ways I wouldn’t have imagined before.

Practise the skills needed for industry

Develop your skills and knowledge through practical assignments based on real-world scenarios and data.

In the last six weeks of the programme, you’ll prove your skills on an Employer Project. Together with a small group of your peers, you'll create a solution to a challenge set by a real company, get their feedback along the way, and present your recommendations directly to the business.

Build your portfolio and gain a King’s qualification

Get proof of what you’re capable of to stand out to hiring managers, leadership teams, and your professional network.

The project work you undertake during the Career Accelerator can be added to a portfolio that proves your practical experience. When you complete the programme, you’ll also gain a certificate from King’s College London that proves the depth of your learning and stands out on your CV.

Achieve more with expert support and career guidance

Achieve more than you thought was possible, in less time than you imagined.

As a Career Accelerator learner, you’ll be offered practical guidance to chase your goals — whether it’s a promotion or a complete career change — and overcome common blockers such as self-doubt, imposter syndrome, and fear of failure.

Through expert career coaching and personal support, your unique aspirations and challenges are given the attention needed to unlock your potential.
