Start Your Freelance Tech Career: From Skills to First Clients
A free, practical guide for new developers, designers and IT workers: choose a niche, build an honest portfolio, find your first clients, price and agree work clearly, deliver well and get paid.
Learning a skill is only half of a tech career. The other half is turning that skill into paid work: finding clients, agreeing what you will deliver, doing it well and getting paid.
This free course is for students, graduates and self-taught beginners who want to work for themselves or build a reputation before applying for jobs. It is based on how real small projects work, with a strong focus on honesty, clear agreements and long-term trust.
Finish all six lessons and pass the short final quiz to earn a certificate.
