Job-ready in months, not years

Bootcamps are intensive, skills-first programmes built to get you hired fast. Expect full-day sessions with real project deadlines — the pace deliberately mirrors a working software team, so by graduation you've already worked the way employers expect you to work. Most bootcamps run 5–12 months depending on the programme.

The curriculum is stack-specific and portfolio-driven: our software development bootcamp, for example, takes you through the PERN stack (PostgreSQL, Express, React, Node.js) along with TypeScript, REST APIs, SQL and AWS cloud fundamentals, with Git and collaborative workflows embedded throughout. Graduates target roles like Junior Frontend Developer, Full-Stack Developer, React Developer, Backend Developer and Junior Software Engineer.

Bootcamps are open to anyone curious and committed — you don't need a degree or prior IT qualification, just the time and drive for an intensive programme.

Questions, answered

Do I need a degree to apply?

No. Our accredited programmes accept matric (or equivalent). Bootcamps are open to anyone curious and committed.

Are programmes really 100% online?

Yes. Live sessions, recorded lectures, async cohorts, and 1:1 mentorship — all delivered remotely. Optional in-person meetups in Johannesburg.

What does ‘guaranteed internship’ mean?

Every accredited graduate is placed into either a paid or unpaid internship with one of our hiring partners. If we can’t place you, you get a full refund of the placement fee.

How can I pay for my course?

Three ways: pay upfront and save, spread it over 3, 6 or 12 months at no/low interest, or apply for a student loan through our partner Manati once you’ve been accepted into a programme. Employer sponsorship and SETA-funded learnerships are also available — chat to a Student Advisor for the right fit.

Can my employer pay for me?

Yes — we work with HR teams on our ‘For Corporate’ track. Request a quote and we’ll tailor a programme to your team.
