About Wells Tech Academy

A professional technology academy for structured career formation.

Wells Tech Academy is a CPD-accredited UK institution for career changers pursuing professional technology capability through structured formation, live instruction, and earned graduation. The Academy publishes its standards, fees, and admissions process. Completion means demonstrated competence against the Graduation Standard — not attendance alone. Programmes are offerings of the institution. Each pathway must meet the same institutional requirements before it is published.

Our Purpose

Why the Academy exists

Technology education should produce practitioners who can design, build, deploy, and maintain professional systems — through accountable, live practice.

Wells was established for determined adults from warehouse, care, retail, administration, and non-technical graduate backgrounds who are ready for structured professional formation.
