Program overview


In your early career as a developer, you will need to be able to justify the logic behind your code to your senior developers. You will prepare for this by learning to read and use official documentation and articulating your rationale to your code coach, who will help you develop your ability to make critical decisions.


You will learn to use AI tools to gain efficiency as a developer. Unlike other junior developers, you will be prepared to critically evaluate the outputs and use cases of AI tools.


Beyond technical skills, this program gives you tools you can use for the rest of your career. You will learn to market yourself as a developer through personal branding and how to continuously upskill yourself so you can take your pick of potential employers as you progress through your coding career.

We did it. They said it.

"Such a rewarding experience"

I would recommend CodeSpace to anyone interested in learning web or software development. The lecturers, coaches, and administrators are very knowledgeable and give helpful feedback and great advice. They are always ready to assist and support, even outside the technical content. I loved having a huge community of other students to collaborate and build relationships with. The course is difficult but also forgiving and rewarding once you've completed it. What an eye-opening experience.

What is the course fee?

Software Development is a prerequisite for this program. The total cost for joining a class is R77 900 (6 months of Software Development + 6 months of JavaScript Engineering) R6990pm over 12 months.

What will I receive at the end of the course?

Upon successfully completing the full course and meeting the passing criteria you will receive a certificate. The assessment is based on projects that need to be completed.

What requirements are needed?

You will need to have completed our Software Development program. You will also need a computer and access to the internet. Computer specs: at least 8GB RAM and i5 equivalent processor.

What is the workplace experience component of the course?

We create a development agency simulated work environment where you will be given real-life client briefs and collaboratively build these with your classmates using Agile methodologies and version control systems. The outcome will be an extensive portfolio that you can share with prospective employers.

Is CodeSpace accredited?

CodeSpace provides an alternative to getting a degree or an accredited qualification.

CodeSpace is one of many global coding institutions that directly address the skills shortage in the tech industry by providing unaccredited, industry-focused training.

Traditional accreditations have not kept up with the requirements of the tech industry. As a result, global tech companies favour candidates with demonstrable development skills, rather than formal qualifications. Tech giants like Apple, Google, and IBM, no longer require a degree for a candidate to land a job, proving that accreditation no longer equals employability.

Computer Science degrees require 3 to 4 years of studies and hundreds of thousands of rands. But with a CodeSpace course, students can go from having zero coding skills to entering the tech industry as a junior developer in as little as six months. By lowering the time and cost spent on learning to code while ensuring we teach exactly what the industry requires, CodeSpace offers a better value coding education.

Our cutting-edge coding education directly provides what the tech industry is actually looking for: Software Developers. We ensure that we teach the most up-to-date coding curriculum, give you a way to display your skills through a code portfolio, and teach you how to continue learning new coding languages and technologies once you start working.

What is the teaching format?

All learning happens on our world-class online learning portal, which guides you through videos, code snippets, code walkthroughs, challenges, and projects. Each completed project forms part of your ever-growing code portfolios. As a CodeSpace student, you have access to a personal code coach who will support you through our challenging coursework. You interact with your coaches in live, interactive coaching sessions, which happen online or at a CodeSpace campus.

At CodeSpace, it's not only what we teach but HOW we teach that prepares you to enter the tech industry seamlessly. Our online teaching format simulates an online work environment, while our co-learning space emulates a tech startup and teaches you how to work alongside your future colleagues.

Can I work while studying full-time?

You will need to commit 25 to 40 hours a week when studying full-time at CodeSpace. Therefore, you can work for a maximum of 15 hours per week. We don't recommend working longer than that or you risk falling behind in your studies.

What does campus access include?

At CodeSpace, we're passionate about making education accessible. That's why we've developed a fully online Software Development program that can be done from anywhere in South Africa (and around the globe).

But sometimes, learning online can be lonely. We've introduced campus access to our Cape Town students to enhance the online learning experience with in-person interaction and encourage community and peer learning in conjunction with our online course content.
