Success stories
Graduate success stories
I joined with zero coding background. Six months later I built the website for my family business and now freelance for three clients.
The labs are real routers and switches, not simulations. I passed my certification and got hired by an ISP in Dar within two months.
My instructor pushed me to build a portfolio from week one. That portfolio is what got me my agency job in Zanzibar.
