A structured path into
BA and QA roles.
Not a course. Not a lecture series. A structured, practical program that takes you from "I want to get into IT" to a portfolio, a story, and the confidence to interview — in 6 to 8 weeks.
The method
The GAP2IT™ Method — five steps, always in order.
We clarify the role you're aiming for and what "ready" actually looks like. Target role, success criteria, job-ad decoding — before anything else.
Skills baseline, resume audit, LinkedIn review. We find out where you actually are — honestly — so we build the right bridge, not a generic one.
A tailored roadmap and portfolio plan. You always know what to do next — no guessing, no waiting, no vague "keep practising" advice.
Skill layer:
Azure DevOps, SQL basics, SDLC and Agile fundamentals,
accessibility, real workplace outputs.
Story layer:
positioning, proof points, turning your background
into an asset — not an apology.
Resume and LinkedIn revamp, interview drills, job-search system. You leave with everything you need to go from program to offer.
A real portfolio. A clear story. Interview confidence. And a reference from someone who's watched you work — not a certificate that says you attended.
Program outputs
What you leave with
By the end of the program, you don’t just “learn” BA or QA concepts. You leave with concrete artefacts you’ve created, used, and can explain — calmly and credibly — in interviews.
- User stories with clear acceptance criteria
- Requirement breakdowns and simple process flows
- A documented BA case study you can walk through end‑to‑end
- Structured test cases
- Defect reports with steps, severity, and evidence
- Examples of accessibility and regression testing
- A working Azure DevOps project showing real workflow
- A rewritten résumé and LinkedIn profile built around evidence
- Mock interview recordings with specific feedback
- A clear career narrative you can explain without guessing
For those who opt into Weeks 7–8.
- A complete sprint report produced inside Azure DevOps
- BA and QA artefacts created under realistic constraints
- Portfolio material that looks like workplace output — because it is
Program structure
6–8 weeks. Here's exactly what happens.
Core Program — Weeks 0 to 6
Tools access, introductions, setting your baseline. You'll understand the full roadmap before week 1 begins.
Job-ad analysis, target role definition, understanding what "entry level" actually requires versus what ads say. Your story starts here.
The tools used in most Australian IT teams. Hands-on, practical — not a lecture on what they are, but experience using them on real tasks.
Accessibility mini-project, BA deliverables, QA test documentation. Real outputs that go straight into your portfolio — not exercises that disappear.
Full rewrite using your new evidence. Keyword matching, STAR format throughout, Australian conventions. Your LinkedIn aligned to your target role.
Behavioural questions, technical scenarios, tool demonstrations. Mock interviews with real feedback. You'll know what's coming and how to handle it.
Application tracker, outreach templates, negotiation preparation. You leave with a system, not just hope.
Premium Option — Weeks 7 & 8
A real sprint simulation in an Azure DevOps sandbox environment. Seeded backlog, defects, test cases, and a sprint report — producing portfolio-quality artefacts that look like real workplace output, because they are.
- Full sprint cycle from planning to retrospective
- BA and QA tracks running in parallel
- Additional mock interviews
- Sprint report added to your portfolio
How it's delivered
Structured. Flexible. Human.
Two 90-minute sessions per week plus office hours. Cohorts of 20–30 people. Replays posted within 72 hours — a short mini-task is required to count as attendance.
Live sessions are valuable but not mandatory. Everything works asynchronously. 2–3 hours of async work per week keeps you moving between sessions.
Small peer groups for accountability and support. Rubrics and checklists so you always know the standard you're working to — not just "good effort."
Structured feedback on your deliverables within 48 business hours. Not "looks good" — specific, actionable commentary against the rubric.
Reference letters are never guaranteed and cannot be purchased. When earned — through consistent attendance, quality deliverables, mock-interview readiness, and sprint performance — a factual letter is provided describing observed contributions only. This protects both you and the integrity of the program.
Who this works for
Everyone who came from somewhere else.
"I have the skills. But every job says local experience required."
We help you build Australian-style evidence from scratch. Your background becomes an asset — not something to hide.
"Am I too late to switch? Will they take me seriously?"
Every person we've placed came from somewhere different. Accounting, hospitality, retail, teaching, the military. Your previous experience is not wasted — it's reframed.
"I have a degree but no one will give me a first role."
Theory without evidence is the gap. We close it with real outputs, real tools, and a portfolio that shows you can do the work — not just that you studied it.
The program has also worked for people in the US, Jamaica, and Mexico. The skills are universal. The support is human.
Straightforward pricing.
No surprises.
The program is a paid engagement. Here's exactly what that looks like — and what we do when it doesn't fit.
Pricing is in AUD. Premium option (Weeks 7–8) is additional — details shared on acceptance.
