An interest in cloud services such as AWS, Azure or GCP. Comfortable using Linux or command-line environments. Willingness to learn and grow in a fast-paced consultancy environment. Entry requirements: A Level in STEM subject, or BTEC Diploma in STEM subject, or Level 3 IT apprenticeship You may also have a combination of qualifications and experience which demonstrate the minimum foundation needed for the programme. In this instance you could still be considered for the programme.
