What's inside
Your pathway into digital technology, and to the UK
Practical, honest and written for working professionals. Checked against GOV.UK in November 2026.
The fastest route to ILR
Why Global Talent can lead to settlement in as little as 3 years, while most routes are moving to 10.
The rule that decides everything
Tech Nation only endorses founders and employees of product-led tech companies. What counts, and what doesn't.
Stay or move
Switch from a Student, Graduate, Skilled Worker or dependant visa inside the UK, or relocate with your family from abroad.
Why product-led experience gets you hired
Product-led companies hire people who have already promoted product-led companies. Here's why, and how to get that experience.
Your 6-step pathway
From a new skill to a U.S. Project Internship, a role in a product-led company, your evidence and the visa.
What Tech Nation looks for
The documents, the criteria, and where your internship project fits as a piece of evidence.
Who it's for
This guide is for you if...
You don't need a tech or marketing background. Most of our students are working professionals who started from zero.
Your pathway
The missing piece: experience with a product-led company
Tech Nation only counts work in product-led technology companies, and those companies hire people who have already promoted one. Our Digital & AI Marketing Master Program gives you that experience from day one, through a U.S. Project Internship with a U.S. product-led company.
Unpaid and project-based, running alongside your 3 months of training. It is not a job offer.
- 1Sign your internship agreementwith our U.S. product-led partner company as soon as you enrol.
- 2Work on a real project briefThe company provides the budget, so you run real campaigns.
- 3Leave with proofA verified U.S. work reference letter, portfolio pieces, and a project you can later present as evidence.

“I was living in Lagos when I landed my first remote role with a London-based tech firm. I needed the UK accreditation and the international project experience to prove I could deliver.”Sarah N.
“I moved to the USA but was stuck in survival jobs because I lacked ‘local experience.’ The U.S. project experience gave me the portfolio I needed to become a Digital Marketing Manager.”Grace A.
