UZT contract types

General information: signing a contract with UZT

Before deciding on a contract type with UZT, it's important to grasp their nuances to align with your career goals and situation.

💵Funding Flexibility: Tripartite vs. Bilateral Agreements

When it comes to securing funding opportunities with UZT, you have two primary options: tripartite agreement and bilateral agreement. Both of these agreements offer funding for specific competencies outlined in your learning agreement. You'll have a 7-month UZT study period* to acquire these competencies, which marks the UZT study period. Upon completion, you'll receive a UZT proof of completion document recognizing your achievement.

UZT study period - this is a period of time mentioned in your UZT contract (3,5-7months). During this period, your responsibility is to gain competencies outlined in your learning agreement.

👩‍💻Continued Learning and Responsibilities at Turing College

After the initial 7-month learning period, you'll still have the opportunity to continue your studies at Turing College and gain additional competencies at no extra cost. However, the specific requirements for your continued learning may change based on the contract you've signed with UZT at the beginning of your learning journey. Upon completing the official UZT study period, you're expected by UZT to apply the skills you've acquired in the job market. If you choose to continue learning concurrently, the details of your learning timeline will depend on the contract you sign with UZT.
