We don't sell courses.
We build people into hireable professionals.

The trap most career-changers fall into

You know the pattern, because you may be living it: evenings spent on free tutorials that never add up to a job. A bookmarked folder of "roadmaps". Maybe a cheap video course, 8% finished. Meanwhile, every month in the wrong career costs you the salary difference — for the roles we train, that's commonly $2,000–$4,000 of lost income per month (an illustration, not a promise). The most expensive option isn't training. It's staying where you are.

Why free content and cheap courses fail

Not because the content is wrong — because nothing holds you to it, nobody corrects you, and no employer is waiting at the end. Hiring managers don't interview watched playlists. They interview people with a year of documented work, certifications, a tested portfolio, and someone credible vouching for them. That is precisely — and only — what we build.

What we built instead

Live teaching every week. Live classes every week, not recordings — taught exclusively by professionals who have had successful careers at top universities and companies, every one with at least 10 years of experience.

A mentor on your side, weekly. One-to-one, all year: reviewing your work, correcting your course, running your mock interviews.

Technology built for this, not bought off a shelf. Our proprietary, custom-built platform adapts every module to how you individually learn, with spaced-repetition scheduling so nothing you pay to learn is forgotten by interview day. It was built in-house, by our own engineers, for exactly one job — teaching this curriculum well. No off-the-shelf LMS is built to do that.

A hiring funnel, not a job board. Developed company by company: partner organisations that recruit from our cohorts, with introductions made for you and support until the contract is signed.

See If You Qualify — Apply

The proof

Cohorts are capped at 30 per track so mentorship never dilutes — the small-group model is the product, not a marketing line.

We say no. That's how we protect quality.

Admission is by application, and we decline applicants we don't believe we can place. If your circumstances, availability or goals don't fit, we will tell you on your 10-minute call — before you pay, not after. The discipline to turn revenue away is what keeps mentorship focused and outcomes honest. That discipline is the product.

Independent by design

Derry Training has taken no venture capital — ever. That's deliberate. Investor-funded schools must show growth every quarter, and quality is usually what gets traded for it: bigger cohorts, cheaper instructors, recorded content sold as teaching. Because we answer to students rather than shareholders, our profits are reinvested where they compound — the adaptive platform, the mentor bench, the hiring funnel — and cohorts stay capped at 30 even when demand says we could triple them.

And the practical assurances

Every enrolment carries a 14-day money-back guarantee (less the non-refundable deposit), and the 6-month job guarantee: graduate without landing a job within 6 months, and you get a six-month extension of support or free admission to another track of your choice.

The practicalities

Applicants accepted from anywhere in the world — all classes run on Central Standard Time (CST, UTC−6). Minimum age: 16. All prices in US Dollars (USD); all payments are taken in USD. Three financing plans, including 50% deposit + weekly payments. Women-Only cohorts on every track.

For organisations

We design bespoke programmes for companies — security upskilling, cloud capability, AI readiness — scoped and priced individually for every engagement. Write to admin@derrytraining.com.
