Clear explanations but needs updating for 2021/2022 and the effect of IR35, how to operate outside of it, or how to find and operate safely via umbrella companies. "Reliability, easy to deal with, good deodorant." -- classic!

I would be interested to know more about IR35 and technicalities of dealing with a client via an LTD.

Gives clear concise explanations with all the information needed to understand Contracting. This includes how to research the market, the steps to get started and how to have a good future career in contracting. Excellent!

UK-focused and pretty cheeky. Prepare to skip 40% of each lecture if you live outside of the UK. It imagines the jobs are preferred based solely on money and also makes assumptions about market directions, includes subjective opinions, and does not back these claims with stats. It misses early opportunities to prove its "nerd cred" by writing a script to show and compare data it is touting as king; instead, it uses the Monty Python "disembodied hand" to illustrate...funny, but not confidence inducing when trying to associate the presenter as a having a perspective of business-focused IT or technical-focused IT (I prefer the latter).

Good flow so far... Very engaging and also informative; great section on using Job boards to search for opportunities. Really useful info about setting up hyour own Co. and what you have to get on top of. Good guidance on financials as well, including a humorous take on IR35, which was very entertaining whilst remaining very informative. I like the way the Course reminds you to DYOR as well, even though it provides good starting points for each of the topics. The presentation and graphics were really neat and made a good connection with the information being presented. The course has really encouraged me to look seriously into Contracting and I would very much recommend it to newbies like me .

The content is just what I was looking for, very easy to follow and bang up to date with current UK legislation. Just docked half a star as some of the answers to the quiz at the end of some of the sections seem to be wrong.

Very relevant for UK contracting in 2016 I believe. Can't wait the bonus material to be released. Thanks!

I was unsure about IT Contracting at first but this course made it clear that it's the way to go. Permanent roles are a thing of the past and I feel fully prepared after this. The quizzes and examples were really helpful and the video lectures are engaging and easy to follow.

An excellent course. It is informative, clearly presented and provides the knowledge/know how that is required to take that 'big' step towards becoming an IT contractor. The course is delivered in a pacy fashion, uses excellent graphics and incorporates a really good use of humour to get its message across. Highly recommended.

Visually stimulating with great content. I have enjoyed learning about I.T contracting from some one who is obviously very knowlegable and experienced in this industry. I found every lecture useful and I recommend taking notes as you go through the course as there are lots of helpful practical hints and tips to learn about I.T contracting. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in I.T contracting.
