A realistic entry route
Routes include university, apprenticeships and direct application where you can demonstrate analytical and business experience.
Vacancy first. Course second.
Before paying for training, open several current vacancies for these titles. Write down the requirements that repeat. Bridge those gaps — don't buy a course just because an advert promises a career.
