What graduates say
“The Code-Starter programme gave me the practical skills I needed to transition into tech. Within 6 months of graduating I landed my first ICT management role.”
Ryan Mwakala
ICT Manager · Danka Africa
“I came in knowing nothing about coding. The curriculum is intense but the instructors make it digestible. I'm now writing production code every day.”
Brandon Odhiambo
Software Developer · Boxcraft
“As a CS student I thought I knew enough. This programme showed me what real-world software engineering looks like. The Git and Linux modules alone were worth it.”
Christine Kerubo
CS Tutor & Graduate · Maseno University
“The hybrid format was perfect for me — I could attend Zoom sessions when I couldn't make it in person. The community of learners keeps you accountable.”
