Data Analyst - Experience AcceleratorFully funded by the Mayor of London | Starts 19 January 2026

Stuck in the catch-22? Every data job wants experience. But no one will give you experience without a job.

Sounds like the Experience Accelerator is for you.

Why iO-Sphere?

We flip the data job search on its head.

Instead of applying to hundreds of jobs and hearing nothing back, you join our no-cost 10-week training programme, build real experience, and we put the top performers directly in front of employers who are actively hiring.

Over 600 iO-Sphere graduates are now working as data analysts at companies like Uber, British Airways, Bumble, and Capgemini. Not because they had the best CVs - because they proved what they could do.

As one of our graduates said: "I applied to 100 jobs and got nowhere. After iO-Sphere, I had three offers in four months."

What is a Data Analyst?

Data analysts help businesses make better decisions. You'll take messy data, find the patterns, and turn it into insights that actually change how a company operates.

Day-to-day, that means:

• Writing SQL queries to pull and analyse data
• Building dashboards in Power BI or Excel
• Presenting recommendations to stakeholders
• Solving real business problems with numbers

Starting salaries in London: £28,000 - £35,000. Senior analysts earn £50,000+.

How it works:

• You train on real data. No textbooks. You'll join the data team at our simulated company and work with 500+ million rows of real data - the same problems you'd face in a real job.
• We select the top performers. Based on your work, not your CV. Top candidates get put directly in front of our hiring partners.
• Employers come to you. Our employer network is actively hiring. We make the introductions - you land the job.

What you'll get:

• 10 weeks of intensive, hands-on training fully funded by the Mayor of London
• Coaches with deep industry experience
• 6 months of career coaching after you finish
• Top performers get direct introductions to hiring employers
• A portfolio of real work

Who should apply?

• You're ambitious but stuck - no one's giving you a chance
• You're analytical and curious - you like solving problems
• You're ready to commit 10 weeks full-time
• You live in Greater London

No degree required. No experience required. Just drive.
