Had a good experience in finance program

I recently enrolled in Sarah Academy and am enjoying the experience to date. Alvin and the team are really nice and helpful and the finance content is helpful and not something I learnt in my uni! I went to one of the events and had a nice time. I had two interviews so far and hoping for mre. Dhruv

Sarah Academy is awesome!

Sarah Academy is awesome!

The team members have helped me become a more confident person when it came to interviews, in all its stages. They also provided good support in terms of developmental key areas that were necessary in landing jobs. Though not sponsored, I was able to land a job through Sarah!

Sarah Academy is not a scam

Sarah Academy is not a scam, this was the biggest doubt that I had when I initially started. Ivona Mincheva was my mentor during my time at the academy and she helped me and cared about my progress more than I expected.

Did I finally get a job through Sarah Academy? No

But I believe that the evolution of this platform and the help that it's providing might help someone over the time.

Exceptional Career Support

I had an excellent experience with Sarah Academy during my job search in the UK. Their support was invaluable, especially the assistance from Maria Mihaelova. Her guidance on CV improvement, interview preparation, and job search strategies was outstanding.

Maria’s expertise and encouragement made the process much smoother and helped me better navigate the competitive job market. I highly recommend Sarah Academy to anyone looking for professional and effective career support.

Great for International Job Seekers

I joined Sarah Academy in the July cohort for the Consultancy course. The materials available for the case study interview and live courses are excellent. The job search is simplified and you get to apply to companies providing visa sponsorship strategically. I want to especially thank Maria Mihailova for regularly checking in on me and providing helpful tips,

Reply from Sarah Academy

Hi AK,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention and I can see you're not a member so thought it would be worth giving some additional context on the programme to help you understand that it's not a scam.

Sarah Academy is an established employability upskilling programme, we typically charge £150/month for the duration of the programme. We also have some more expensive and intensive packages (maximum cost £900 for 4 months) as you have mentioned which include additional in-depth hard skills training programmes, for instance full stack development. We never guarantee a UK sponsored job offer, and definitely do not charge candidates after they leave the programme even when they do get a role (this is illegal in the UK in most cases and typically candidates pay a huge amount for these services).

Just in the classic programme candidates get access to 15+ hours of hard skill training (e.g. data science, software development, finance), communication training, 1-1 interview coaching sessions, 1-1 career advisory sessions, monthly in-person networking events, a full CV, LinkedIn and Cover Letter revamp, and access to an exclusive job board for visa sponsoring jobs + several other perks and features.

We'd be happy to offer you a complimentary week in the programme or host an initial consultation for you to learn more - if you'd be interested please get in touch on alvin@capua.co and we'd love to help you there.

If any other prospective members reading this are interested please also feel free to reach out to me.

We look forward to speaking soon!

I joined the July cohort of Sarah…

I joined the July cohort of Sarah Academy and received a job offer end of September. You're provided with tools within the platform, such as a job portal that has 'visa sponsored' filters, technical courses (I was on the data science one), informational videos about the job market visa climate, weekly talks by guest speakers who share their experience and give advice (some might not be relevant to you but take what you can from it), approaches to touch up your CV, cover letters, and companies to reach out to.

You definitely have to put in effort to utilise all these, it's not a sit back, apply passively approach. I have monthly updates with a career advisor Ivona, she's given me helpful tips on doing direct outreach. Alvin has been very supportive in the post-offer process in terms of providing whatever visa advice he can, thank you all.

Great starting point for job-seekers

If you want to start your career in the UK from the ground up, Sarah will no doubt be a good fit for you! They give you structured guidance with skills needed to stand out among the tens of thousands of candidates you will be competing against. You will of course need to put in effort as well, but the more you give, the more you get. Good luck!

Give it a try!

As an international student, getting a job via sponsorship is extremely difficult. I joined the Sarah Academy in hopes to increase my chances of getting a UK Visa Sponsored Job. The Sarah Academy has been extremely helpful with its help, resources and community! I want to especially give thanks to my advisor Maria Mihailova for all her help along my journey!

I joined Sarah Academy in August and have received amazing support from the team throughout my experience. They helped me craft my CV and cover letter, prepared me for interviews, and gave me access to an excellent data analyst course that made me feel ready to take on new roles in my field. I especially want to thank Ivona Mincheva. She guided me through the whole process, gave me really useful feedback, and helped develop my job search plan. She went above and beyond pushing me to dedicate myself more effectively in the job search while making herself available at all times if I had any questions. I would highly recommend Sarah Academy to anyone looking for work in the UK

I joined Sarah as an international student who didn't know how to navigate the job search but filled with the biggest ambitions. And I was glad I met up with people who gave me the foundation, encouragement and motivation to do so through the weekly and monthly follow ups especially my mentor Maria Mihailova and career coach Ivona.
I would definetely recommend to someone looking for a job but also you will get a community as a bonus.

I would say the Sarah offered a very structural way to land offers as an expat/international graduate. The coaches and associates are also warm, considerate, and most importantly, helpful. I'd like to say thank you to Maria and Irena who supported me through the job-hunting journey.

My experience with Sarah Capua was filled with joy and knowledgeable experience in landing a job. I was led and mentored by Maria, who has given me effective advice on tailoring LinkedIn profile, being proactive in reaching out opportunities. I would highly recommend Sarah as a platform for job-seekers who want to successfully land their jobs.

Loved the Sarah Academy by Capua experience

I have been with Sarah Academy for four months. They have been nothing but an amazing support and guidance especially being an international student in the UK. They provide support with CV crafting, reviews, have short courses on their portal and suggest to me jobs that offer sponsorship via their portal. I have gained so much from the community as well and give special thanks to Maria Mihailova who guided me each week and made monthly follow ups to check on my progress. I commend the entire team for their incredible work and would recommend the services offered by Sarah Academy to anyone in the UK seeking guidance in job applications and how to land a job offer
