ASTP Cohort 9
-
Before ASTP, I worked in fintech and later supported COVID-19 testing. With no tech background, I was self-learning but struggled to find direction. ASTP gave me structure, a clear career path, and hands-on training. In just six months, I was job ready with certifications and industry placement. If you’re passionate and need a solid starting point, ASTP can give you that launchpad.
