Our story
We've seen it from both sides. Employers who can't find people with the right skills. Learners who've done all the right courses and still can't get the job. The gap isn't about knowledge. It's about experience — and experience has always been the one thing education couldn't give you.
Autonomy is our attempt to close that gap. Not with another course. With a system that makes the experience of doing the job the core of the learning itself.

AI is the most significant shift in knowledge-work since the internet. Every organisation is trying to figure out how to hire, train, and retain people who can work in an AI-first environment. Most training programmes haven't caught up. The courses being sold today were designed for a world that no longer exists.
Autonomy is designed for what's coming. Not just data analytics — we're building simulations for AI Builder, Machine Learning, Product Management, Cybersecurity, and more. Every track puts learners inside a company dealing with real AI-era challenges, guided by AI colleagues and evaluated by AI stakeholders who hold them to professional standards.
This is what work looks like now. We built the training environment to match it.
The Data & Analytics track is live now. More tracks launching in 2026.
