The core Software Development program

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.

To study at CodeSpace, you do not need previous coding skills or a matric certificate. All you need is English proficiency, digital literacy, a laptop, and a good internet connection to thrive as a CodeSpace student. You will require about 10 hours per week if you join a part-time class and 25 to 40 hours per week for a full-time course.

CodeSpace exists to provide access to high-growth employment opportunities in the tech industry. Training graduates to be employable is every team member's central focus. We are proud of our 91% graduate employment rate. Our graduates are employed in some of the most exciting tech companies in the industry. Our graduates’ earnings increase exponentially over their first 3 years of work. Our ultimate goal is to see our graduates enjoying their work, earning well, and learning something new all the time.

We expect our graduates to play an active role in shaping their early careers; we do not “place” students to be bums in seats.

As a student, we help you create a code portfolio to demonstrate your skills to future employers and empower you to excel in your first interviews through our career coaching program. Once you have graduated, we add you to our employment database shared with top tech companies in South Africa. Every CodeSpace graduate receives continued support over the first 1000 days of their tech career.

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.

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.

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.
