Question 2

There are four sessions, can I sign up for some but not all?

Accepted Answer

We ask everyone to register for this programme once and therefore to commit their attendance to all four sessions. Sessions will be remote and hosted on Teams. Registrants will be sent meeting links, nearer the time of the first session.

Question 3

Can anyone join the programme?

Accepted Answer

Anyone can attend our Pre-Athena Programme, but please note their are certain rights to work you must have to join Sparta Global's Athena programme after these introductory sessions.

The successful candidate must, by the start of the employment, have permission to work in the UK.

Question 4

Does it matter if I have no tech background?

Accepted Answer

No, it doesn't. This pre-Athena programme will help you understand if you have the ability to learn quickly and work in Java Test Automation. In turn, it will be easier for you to understand if you have the ability to progress to our Athena Academy and working as a Spartan.

Question 5

Are all of the pre-Athena programme sessions remote?

Accepted Answer

Yes! All training is remote, however we are looking to give our registrants the opportunity to meet in person at the start or end of the course too.

Question 6

If I complete this pre training programme, do I automatically earn a spot on the Athena programme?

Accepted Answer

No.

The pre-Athena programme will help you understand what Athena is, the role of Java Automation, training and career pathway with Sparta. It will also help you identify it's something you can and want to do. You still need to apply to join Athena, but will be very well positioned to do so!

Question 7

I identify as male, can I attend?

Accepted Answer

This pre-programme is for an all-women technology training and careers programme with Sparta Global. You must identify as a woman.
