“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.”
“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, 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 solve real life problems.”
“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.”
"I studied Computer Science in college, and there wasn’t much time in between learning the modules and being tested on them. What I love about ALX is that we are given several tasks to practise and apply the modules. Anyone can apply to the Software Engineering programme. Seventy hours a week may seem like a lot, but while you’re doing the projects, time flies by. If you’re someone who likes solving problems, then this is a fun programme to be in, and I highly recommend it!"
“In April 2021, I met the most important thing in my life and career - the ALX SE programme. Since then, ALX has become the light and company I need in my learning journey to make my dream a reality. It’s now January 2022, and I’m more than glad to say I am halfway there!”
“The ALX program had a profound impact on my career development. The program exceeded my expectations in every way. Within weeks of graduating from the program and implementing some of the learnt strategies, I began to get invitations for interviews, one of which has translated into my current job.”
“What stands out at ALX is how intense the training is. At the same time, such incredible support is available whenever you need it. It really brings out the best in a person to be able to compete with the world's best. With so much learning in a short space of time, it's quite a privilege to have taken part in this awesome programme.”
“In all probability, I think I’ve learned more at ALX over the past 4 weeks about navigating the real world than I did during my entire 4-year stay on campus.”
