Why we built The Code Labs Academy

Talent is the constraint behind most technology projects in Africa. The Academy is how we grow it — from young innovators to working professionals and whole teams.

Talent is the constraint behind most technology projects in Africa. When we launched The Code Labs Academy in 2020, the idea was simple: the people who build and secure systems for clients every day should teach the next generation how it is really done.

Four pathways

  • Young innovators discover coding and problem-solving through projects.
  • Aspiring developers follow a job-ready pathway and build a real portfolio.
  • Working professionals add AI, data and cybersecurity skills to the job they already do.
  • Organisations train whole teams around the systems they use.

Practical by design

Every programme is built around real projects and ends with A Code Labs Developer certificate.
