If you want to get started in Contracting/Freelance for IT or basically any professional field this course is jam packed with incredibly useful advice. I recommend you watch this course before you get started in your contracting career but its still very resourceful so someone who has been contracting for awhile. The course teaches you about how to be professional and what's expected of you as well as how to find work and get ahead in your career.

Paul,

What can I say, so far so good? I’m currently working my way through all the information which is certainly very informative and is providing me with some valuable tips, especially after recently being made redundant these lectures couldn’t have come at a better time……I’m seriously now looking at the freelance market.

Well done!

Thanks
