Want to get into IT but cannot work out where to start? This page exists to answer that — what the market is doing now, where each path leads, and which one fits you.
The questions everyone asks
Read these before you give us your details. Most people find their answer here.
Yes, and it is the most common route. A large share of our learners come from commerce, arts or another field entirely. Employers look at what you can build, not at your degree. Software testing, graphic design and digital marketing can all be started without writing code; web development and data science do need code, but they are taught from zero.
The honest answer is six to twelve months for most people, at ten to fifteen hours a week. Finishing a course and being employable are not the same thing — two or three projects of your own sit in between. People who do not practise outside class take roughly twice as long. If anyone promises you a job in three months, ask them how.
A certificate opens a door; it does not get you the job. The interview is about what you have built. There are exceptions — ISTQB in testing and some cloud certifications genuinely pass recruitment filters. Our certificates carry a number any employer can check at talhatraining.com/verify.
A job first, if you can get one. You learn from people more experienced than you, your code gets reviewed, and the money arrives on a date. Freelancing asks you to be developer, salesperson and accountant at once, which is hard when you are still learning the first of those. After a year or two in a job, freelance rates are also much better.
Data science and AI have the highest ceiling, but the entry is hardest and it needs real mathematics. Web development has by far the most open positions. Testing starts lower but is the easiest way in. Do not choose on salary alone: you will not last two years in work you dislike, and two years is exactly where this career starts to pay.
Yes, and most of our learners do. There are evening and Friday batches, and every class is recorded, so missing one does not put you behind. The real constraint is eight to ten hours a week; below that you will finish the course without gaining the skill.
About you
First, what should we call you?
Just so we can address you properly, and so a counsellor knows who they are speaking to.
Only your name, age band, education and country are kept — no phone or email. We do not sell anyone’s details.
What the market is saying
The figures below come from public sources, each one linked. Salaries vary a great deal by company and by skill — take these as a sense of scale, not a promise.
Junior developers at local firms are generally paid BDT 20,000–45,000 a month. International outsourcing companies pay even freshers BDT 65,000–85,000+ if they pass the technical tests.↗
Senior engineers earn BDT 100,000–220,000 a month, and up to BDT 345,000 working remotely for companies abroad.↗
Two skills top the demand list going into 2026: AI and machine learning integration, and cloud infrastructure management.↗
Showing skill now counts for more than holding a certificate. Dhaka employers increasingly ask for take-home tests, a portfolio, or live coding in the interview.↗
NLP, computer vision and generative AI specialists are reported to earn 30–50% above standard developer rates.↗
Bangladesh is the world's seventh-largest freelancing country, winning contracts from the US, UK and Australia — which means competing at international standards.↗
The Bangladesh Software Testing Board aims for one million internationally certified testers from Bangladesh by 2030.↗
Career tracks
What roles each track leads to, where to start, and which of our courses take you there.
Software testing (QA)
The easiest door into IT without writing code first.
Tell us where you are and a counsellor will talk it through with you — which course, which batch, how long it will realistically take. It is free and it does not commit you to enrolling.
