The success of the IT Academy has been phenomenal with Microsoft Certified Professional status being achieved by over 90% of all delegates studying at the Centre.

Axis were innovators of the 'WebMaster' programme for small business online trading, developed and delivered for the ESF, LSC Nottinghamshire, GNTEC and The Prince's Trust. The project proved extremely successful in assisting business growth and spawned a number of additionally funded web projects in collaboration with local businesses. Building on these experiences, our trainers are able to provide in depth knowledge of the latest web design tools and ecommerce strategies.

Today Axis sits proudly within the newly developed Pearson Building on the evolving Beeston campus of Castle College. The team consists of business focused professionals who have industry experience in their related fields and are always happy to provide on-site or distance technical support and consultancy.
