Hear From Our Learners
Here's what some of our learners and community are saying!
“I’ve dropped out from a couple of online training prior to this course but couldn’t this time. I don’t know exactly how that happened but I can say that there are a lot of features in taking this course that go beyond academics – there are teachers, motivators, guides, and mostly – family. 12 months didn’t feel like a year but the skills I gained could pass for a 3-year working experience in my CV and I’ll confidently defend it with my work. This has been one of my best decisions that have made my full year worthwhile!”
“The program’s intensive and engaging structure appealed to me as it promised to provide a comprehensive understanding of AI concepts, even for individuals with non-technical backgrounds,“

To think that I almost dropped out, first and second week were really overwhelming, having to combine my already demanding job and tight schedule with this, but after week 3, I resolved to finish through.
AIX course structure is really unique, educative, engaging and entertaining, it brings a balance to learning, never had such an experience with all the online schools I have attended.
Thank you ALX, #We_do_hard_things “

“Twelve years ago, when I had just finished my college degree, all I wanted to do was become a Software Engineer. One day, I found this amazing programme at ALX, and I am having the best time of my life studying Software Engineering. I can’t begin to imagine what joy I will have when I start using my knowledge to
What stood out the most to me in ALX’s SE programme was the fast paced and highly comprehensive curriculum. I also enjoyed the focus on developing skills relevant for today’s tech industry, and how the programme grooms you to be able to solve complex, real world problems.
