Tolu had already built a foundation in IT support, including an apprenticeship as a Digital Support Technician with Go-Centric Limited in Sunderland, before deciding he wanted to specialise in cyber security. He knew he had the aptitude for it, but general support experience alone wasn’t enough to be taken seriously for dedicated cyber security roles. He needed recognised, industry-standard certifications behind him.
Tolu completed Newto Training’s Cyber Security career programme, earning CompTIA Security+ and Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900). Alongside the certification training, we worked with him on his CV and job search approach, helping him position his support background and new certifications together for the roles he was applying for.
With his CV rebuilt and certifications in place, Tolu applied for and secured a First Line Service Desk Analyst role at Pets at Home, initially on a 12-month fixed-term contract. He converted this to a permanent position within five months, after a successful three-month probation.
He didn’t stop there. Whilst working as a Service Desk Analyst, Tolu kept studying and went on to pass CompTIA CySA+, building directly on the foundation from his Newto training. That continued investment, combined with the reputation he’d built on the service desk, earned him the opportunity to move into Pets at Home’s Information Security team as a Security Engineer, supporting detection, triage and remediation work day to day.
Tolu now works as a Security Engineer within Pets at Home’s Information Security team, the specialist role he originally set out to reach, built step by step from a service desk role into a genuine cyber security career.
Tolu's Feedback
“My experience with Newto Training has been wonderful. They offer projects, live labs, mentorships, and all the forms of support you need to equip you with the right skills to attract employers and secure your first role. I'm just 5 months into my training and I've been able to land my first role. I advise everyone looking to switch careers to enrol with Newto Training. You won't regret it.”

Ben spent five years as a Weapons Engineer in the Royal Navy Submarine Service, developing a strong technical and leadership foundation in one of the most demanding environments the military has to offer. When he left the Navy, he was determined to bring that discipline, technical grounding and physical security mindset into a career in cyber security.
Ben completed Newto Training’s Cyber Security career programme, earning Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900), CompTIA Security+, and CompTIA CySA+. Alongside the certification training, we rebuilt his CV to properly translate his Royal Navy experience, his leadership, his physical security discipline, his composure under pressure, into language that lands with cyber security hiring managers, and supported him through his job search and interview preparation.
Ex-military candidates with recognised cyber security certifications are in real demand, and Ben felt that directly. Armed with his new qualifications and a CV that finally did justice to his Navy background, he had multiple offers to weigh up, and chose to join Cyberbridge Services as Associate Technical Director.
Ben's Feedback
“I chose Newto’s cybersecurity course. I started from scratch. With the help of Newto Training, I managed to write a CV and get a job - and I'm actually in my first week of a job now. The staff at Newto Training are always a phone call away or an email away. No question was too stupid, too easy, too hard. They're a really good bunch helping me find a job in IT. If you are new to IT like me - Newto Training is the company for you.”

Quayem joined the programme with a clear ambition to move into a data-focused career, building on his existing technical background in SQL and Power BI. However, despite his skills and previous experience, he had spent almost two years struggling to secure consistent interviews and break into a highly competitive data job market.
He joined the programme to strengthen his technical profile, gain recognised certifications, and improve his job applications.
Despite a strong technical foundation in tools such as SQL and Power BI, Quayem faced several barriers when applying for data roles:
He also highlighted how competitive the entry-level market had become, making it difficult to stand out without additional structured support and recognised credentials.
Quayem completed structured training across key data tools and methodologies, including SQL, Python, Power BI, and data analysis fundamentals via DataCamp and supported learning platforms.
He achieved the following certifications, passing all first time, Microsoft Power BI Data Analyst Associate (PL-300) and CompTIA Data+
Alongside this, he completed multiple hands-on projects in data visualisation and exploratory analysis across real-world datasets, strengthening both his technical ability and portfolio.
Following completion of his training, he then moved into the recruitment support phase, which included:
Quayem highlighted the CV restructuring process as the most impactful element, particularly the focus on key achievements and how experience was reframed for industry expectations.
Following structured support, Quayem secured a role as a Compliance Caseworker at HMRC, with the offer confirmed on 12 May 2026.
This marks a successful transition into a structured professional environment, where he now applies analytical thinking, data handling, and compliance-based decision-making in his role.
Quayem's Feedback
“Honestly, the CV rebuild was the biggest game changer for me. It was the first time I properly understood how to structure my experience around key achievements instead of just listing what I had done. Doing the certifications and projects gave me real proof of my skills. Before that, I could say I knew SQL or Power BI, but now I actually had something to back it up, which made a huge difference in interviews. The support really helped me become more focused and confident when applying for roles and explaining my experience. It changed how I approach the job market completely.”

“The CV rebuild and interview preparation made a big difference — I felt much more confident going into interviews and how I approached applications.”
Hal graduated from the University of Bath with a degree in Natural Sciences and a strong interest in data, coding, and problem solving. While he had solid academic knowledge and a successful placement year in a computational science role, he found it difficult to translate this experience into job opportunities in data analytics.
He joined the programme in June 2025 looking for support to become job-ready for entry-level data roles.
Despite strong technical ability, Hal was struggling to:
Hal first completed structured training in Python, SQL, Power BI, and machine learning, and passed all certifications on his first attempt.
He also completed practical data projects during his training to strengthen applied skills and portfolio experience.
Following completion of his training, we then moved into the recruitment support phase, which included:

Chris joined Newto Training in April 2025 with a background in logistics, warehouse operations and technical support. He wanted to build his cybersecurity knowledge and move into a role where he could combine his technical and operational experience with his new cybersecurity skills.
Despite building his cybersecurity knowledge, Chris was struggling to:
Chris completed the cybersecurity programme, gaining practical skills across security monitoring, Splunk, OWASP Top 10, MITRE ATT&CK, CVSS, Microsoft Azure and VirtualBox. He also achieved CompTIA Security+, CompTIA CySA+ and Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900), passing all of his exams first time.
During the recruitment phase, we provided full CV support, LinkedIn guidance, job search strategies and elevator pitch development. His CV was rebuilt to better showcase his technical and transferable experience. Chris also received guidance on how to approach his job search more effectively, rather than relying solely on job boards and recruitment agencies.
Chris secured a Logistics & Cybersecurity Coordinator role at Winthrop, on a £45,000 salary, with his start date brought forward to 28 September 2026.
The role allows Chris to combine his logistics and operational experience with the cybersecurity knowledge and technical skills he developed through the Newto programme, joining Winthrop as it launches its first UK site.
Chris's Feedback
“I came into this training with no IT experience at all, to which I've landed a position because of the training and recruitment push. It doesn't feel like just training at all, and the support is unmatched. Newto gives it a personal touch which has helped me a lot and also pointed me in the right direction. I do believe that I wouldn't have landed this role if I hadn't had the support from the CV area. I had no knowledge of how to write a CV which makes it look appealing to employers, so that was a massive help.”

Nikhil moved to the UK from Pune on a sponsored Skilled Worker visa, holding a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from India. He had a strong academic record and general work experience. He hoped his degree and transferable skills would be enough to get him started in the UK job market. Instead, he spent months applying for a wide range of roles without a single interview.
Despite being capable and motivated, Nikhil ran into barriers that are common for overseas graduates arriving in the UK without a technical qualification or UK work history:
Nikhil was, understandably, unsure where to pivot. A business administration degree could theoretically lead in several directions, but that breadth was making it harder to build a focused, convincing application.
Nikhil came to Newto Training to work out a realistic route into UK employment. We talked through how IT support offers a well-defined, in-demand entry point for candidates with a generalist degree background, and used that to help him build a focused plan rather than continuing to apply broadly.
He completed our IT Helpdesk Technician career programme, gaining two certifications:
How we helped:
Nikhil’s rebuilt CV and applications started converting into interviews, and with interview coaching behind him, he secured a role as a 2nd Line IT Support Agent in June 2026, his first UK-based role.
He’s now building UK experience and technical skills on solid ground, with a clear route into IT ahead of him.
Nikhil's Feedback
“I genuinely thought my experience would speak for itself. It took Newto Training to show me that in the UK, you have to prove it their way first, not mine, and that starting again in a new country is possible. The CV rebuild changed how I talked about my own background completely, and the interview prep meant I was able to talk about my move from business into IT support with confidence. I know this is the first step, not the last one.”

Aaron began his career in brewing, working in a hands-on production environment for several years. As his previous company began to decline, he started considering a longer-term move into a more stable, technology-focused career path.
He joined the programme after speaking with a member of the team to better understand the structure, support, and outcomes. After discussing his initial concerns around delivery, location, and progression, he decided to move forward.
His motivation for pursuing cybersecurity was driven by an interest in technology and working with computers, alongside the growing importance of technology and security in the modern world.

Just over 3 months after starting recruitment, Aaron secured a role as a Cyber Security Analyst at Quorum Cyber, starting in June 2026.
He is now moving into a cybersecurity role where he will apply his skills in security monitoring, threat detection, and incident response.
Aaron's Feedback
“The support throughout the programme was excellent, especially the exam preparation and interview coaching. The CV rebuild process was also really valuable and helped improve how I presented my experience. The practice sessions were very helpful and made me feel well prepared, rather than going into exams or interviews blind. It really improved my confidence going through the process.”
