Meet our Software Engineering Programme alumni Emmanuel, a South African who accelerated his career as a Software Engineer through the programme.
"ALX is the toughest and most exciting training experience I've ever had in my life; I have gained valuable technical skills that I plan to apply to entrepreneurial projects, aligning with my own interests of mobile development, e-commerce and fintech."
"As a student in the ALX Software Engineering Program, I had the opportunity to learn from my peers, was given a formal structure, and was able to acquire the skills I needed to advance in my career and my passion for software engineering."
"My desire to learn software engineering has always been strong. I started out by learning on my own, and a while later a relative of mine sent me a link to ALX. I visited the website and found Fred Swaniker's video where he discussed his ambitions. That gave me the push I needed to apply, and it turned out to be the best decision I have ever made."
