Here is our Software Engineering Programme alumni, Busisiwe Nkomo, who went on to transition into a new field of technology and accelerated her career through the ALX Software Engineering Programme.
“ALX goes beyond technical training - it supports a journey to go deep into your personality and provides powerful opportunities to build yourself. The learning atmosphere is great and it goes beyond just focusing on the end product.”
“ALX provided powerful lessons in self-awareness, which helped me to understand who I am as a person as well as my passions and interests. It helped me become clear about my purpose in life and my vision. As a problem-solver, I got to understand what ails Africa and see myself as a leader who has potential solutions for these problems. The whole experience was amazing.”
“The training was top-notch, the support was amazing, and my time at ALX expanded my mindset. The tech field is broad and always evolving; the tools I learned to use and the resources I was exposed to upgraded my expertise. I can now say I'm a ‘hot cake’ in my tech career because of this. One of the best decisions you will ever make is joining ALX. Just do it!”
What is ALX?
ALX offers job-ready training in the tech fields employers need most. ALX, in partnership with The ROOM, is brought to you by the organisation that leads African Leadership Academy, African Leadership University, and Anzisha Prize Foundation.
What are the payment terms and options?
Why do we have to go into the hub during the week?
Attending the in-person hubs is a requirement of the learning experience. The in-person co-working spaces are designed to provide accountability, peer support, and the opportunity for face-to-face interaction and networking. This is intended to boost productivity and help individuals achieve their goals.
How do I join The ROOM?
All ALX learners are invited to join The ROOM Fellowship community where you will have access to a global network of resources, job opportunities, and ongoing career support.
I need more information. Where can I submit a request?
Can I register for multiple programmes at the same time?
Due to training requirements and programme rigour, ALX permits learners to be enrolled in one programme at any given time. If you have applied to or are currently enrolled in a programme, you will not be eligible to apply to another programme.
