Built for Newbies and Accredited Coders
No coding or microcontroller experience? Start in Tier 1. Already certified? We get you current with AI, edge devices, and what’s used in industry now.
Complete newbies
No coding, no microcontrollers—no problem. We start at zero with AI co-coding, ESP32-S3, and build your first project. Tier 1 starts at R90 for your first month. Your first portfolio piece starts in Tier 1.
Accredited & career changers
Bootcamps and universities can lag 1–2 years. We focus on what’s used now: AI co-coding, TypeScript, React, Supabase, Node, ESP32, edge AI. Add microcontrollers and AI to your stack and keep your skills relevant.
What You Can Do > Credentials
Every project you build goes on GitHub and our site. By Tier 4 you’ll have 6–8 projects that show exactly what you can do. We believe employers care more about that than a piece of paper—and we structure the whole path around proving it.
