Our take
Knoma is tackling the digital skills gap as the global economy shifts into the fourth industrial revolution. It helps people looking to future-proof their career or move into new areas of work by reducing the barrier of payment and removing the pain point of sourcing technical courses. Through its platform users can gain access to a revolving credit of up to £10,000, where the cost of a course can be spread over 12 months with weekly, fortnightly, or monthly repayments, with no interest or fees.
The company has launched its marketplace and works with a number of tech and coding schools, including Code Institute, Wild Code School, CodeClan, NorthCoders and Learning People. These can integrate the ‘Pay with Knoma’ widget into their platforms so users can choose the spread the payment via Knoma’s loan. As tech skills are increasingly sought, Knoma will help bring a larger pool of talent to the industry by removing the barriers to learning.
