You deserve better
than a bootcamp
that doesn't work.

500 students on a Zoom call.

You're a face in a grid. Your instructor can't remember your name. You fall behind and nobody notices.

Curriculum that's already outdated.

The industry moved to AI agents, MCP, and agentic workflows. Your bootcamp is still teaching jQuery.

A certificate that employers ignore.

No portfolio. No real projects. No proof you can do the work. Just a PDF that says you watched some videos.

No job at the end of it.

You spent money, time, and energy. You got a certificate. You're still unemployed.

Classroom
25Maximum students — always

Our graduates get job offers,
not just certificates.

From Cohort 0 to companies building Africa's future. Real skills, real portfolios, real careers.

I came in knowing nothing about code. Sixteen weeks later, I walked into my Andela interview with three real projects on my laptop. I got the offer that week.

16 weeks. Four phases.
One outcome.

You graduate ready — not hopeful. Every phase builds on the last. Every week has purpose.

01
Foundation

Set up tools, learn fundamentals, get fluent with AI.

2 WEEKS
02
Deep Work

Eight weeks of intensive, hands-on training in your discipline. You'll build real things every day — not watch lectures. Your instructor is someone who does this work professionally. AI tools are part of your daily workflow, not a separate module.

8 WEEKS — THE CORE
03
Real Projects

You stop being a student. For four weeks, you work on live briefs from real organizations — real clients, real deadlines.

4 WEEKS
04
Launch

Portfolio, CV, interview prep with real hiring managers.

2 WEEKS
05
INTERNSHIP
Then you go to work.

Top 5 students per class get a paid 2-month internship with partner companies. Other graduates may be placed in unpaid internships. Real teams. Real responsibilities. Many convert to full-time offers.

Demo day

Five days. Three modes.
One complete professional.

Most bootcamps only teach you the tool. We train you to get the job, keep the job, and grow in the job.

01
MONTUEWED

Build

Hands-on technical work in your course track. You write code, design interfaces, edit film, or run campaigns — alongside 19 other students and an instructor who works in the industry. No lectures. You learn by doing.

02
THU

Professional Skills

CV writing, LinkedIn optimization, salary negotiation, presenting your work in meetings, emailing hiring managers, and working in teams. The skills nobody teaches but every employer expects.

03
FRI

Present & Perform

Every Friday, you stand up and present your work to your cohort. In English. Out loud. By week 10, you can walk into any room and explain what you built and why it matters. English fluency coaching built in.

Students in a learning environment

Every course is AI-native.

AI isn't a separate class. It's embedded in everything — software, security, design, film, marketing.

Ambitious people in East and West Africa who want real careers in technology or the creative economy. You don't need a degree or prior experience — you need to show up five days a week for 16 weeks and do the work.

Yes. The Foundation phase (weeks 1–2) brings everyone to the same starting line — tools, fundamentals, and AI fluency. We've seen students with zero background outperform CS graduates because they committed fully.

Class size (25 vs 500), AI built into every course (not a separate module), and instructors who are working professionals. Add three months of career support and real client projects — it's a completely different model.

Every student learns to work with AI tools as part of their daily workflow. Engineers use AI code assistants. Designers use AI for prototyping. Filmmakers use AI for editing. It's how modern professionals work.

KES 25,000 for in-person in Nairobi, or NGN 250,000 for online in Nigeria — thanks to a scholarship from Build54 Foundation that covers part of the tuition for every student. One payment covers everything — materials, software, AI credits, coaching, and three months of career support. Payment plans available.

In-person cohorts run at our Nairobi campus. Nigerian students join a fully remote cohort — same curriculum, same instructors, same 25-student attention. The experience is equivalent by design.

Monday to Friday, roughly 9 AM – 5 PM EAT. This is a full-time programme. If you need to work part-time, be upfront in your application — we want to set you up for success.

Three months of career support — CV reviews, LinkedIn optimization, interview practice, and job referrals. Top students may be placed in our internship programme with partner companies across Africa.

The top 5 students per class get a paid 2-month internship with our partner companies. Other graduates may be placed in unpaid internships with partners. Real teams, real responsibilities — many convert to full-time offers.

25 seats per course.
That's all we'll ever offer.

25 students per class. Quarterly intake. Not everyone gets in, but everyone who does gets our full attention for 16 weeks and three months after.
