"Code-to-Cash." We focus on the most employable stacks in the market. Stop building static websites; start building dynamic digital products that solve real problems.

Cybersecurity & Data Protection Compliance

In an age where data is the new oil, its protection is the new law. This course is a dual-threat training that combines the technical basics of cybersecurity with the legal mandates of the Kenya Data Protection Act (2019). You will move beyond "strong passwords" to understanding the architecture of a secure network.

We cover the Computer Misuse and Cybercrimes Act, teaching you how to conduct Vulnerability Assessments and secure sensitive organizational data. Crucially, we focus on the role of the Data Protection Officer (DPO)—teaching you how to map data flows, conduct Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs), and handle data breaches.

This is essential training for IT managers and Compliance Officers who need to keep their organizations safe and legal, avoiding the massive fines levied by the ODPC.

What You Will Learn

  • Kenya Data Protection Act 2019 & GDPR basics.
  • Role of the Data Protection Officer (DPO).
  • Ethical Hacking basics (Penetration testing).
  • Incident Response: Handling a data breach.

Career Impact

The Hard Skill

Conducting Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIA) and basic network vulnerability scanning.

Market Gap

The ODPC is fining companies millions for non-compliance. There is a desperate shortage of certified DPOs who understand both the tech and the law.

Full-Stack Web & Mobile App Development

Stop building static websites that nobody visits. This course is an intensive "Code-to-Cash" bootcamp designed to turn you into a builder of digital products. We focus on the most employable stacks in the market—MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) for web and Flutter for mobile.

You will learn to build dynamic, database-driven applications that solve real problems. We move from the basics of HTML/CSS to advanced API integration (linking your app to MPESA, Google Maps, or SMS gateways).

By the end of this course, you will not just have a certificate; you will have a GitHub portfolio with a live, functioning application that you can show to employers or investors.

What You Will Learn

  • Front-end (React.js) and Back-end (Node.js/Python).
  • Database management (SQL vs. NoSQL).
  • RESTful API development and consumption.
  • Version Control with Git/GitHub.

Career Impact

The Hard Skill

Coding and deploying dynamic web/mobile applications with API integrations (e.g., MPESA).

Market Gap

Kenyan companies are outsourcing dev work to India/Ukraine because local talent often lacks "production-ready" coding skills. This course bridges that gap.

Cloud Computing & DevOps Basics (AWS Aligned)

The world is migrating to the Cloud, and the server room is dying. This course is your entry point into the global cloud economy, aligned specifically with the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner curriculum.

You will learn how to design scalable, flexible, and secure infrastructure on Amazon Web Services (AWS). We demystify terms like EC2, S3, and Lambda, teaching you how to host applications that can handle one user or one million users without crashing. We also introduce DevOps culture—automating the software delivery process.

This is the skill that separates "IT support guys" from "Cloud Engineers," enabling you to work for global companies remotely from Nairobi.

What You Will Learn

  • Cloud concepts: IaaS, PaaS, SaaS.
  • Core AWS Services (Compute, Storage, Database).
  • Cost management: Stopping the cloud from bankrupting you.
  • Introduction to Docker and Kubernetes.

Career Impact

The Hard Skill

Provisioning cloud infrastructure on AWS and setting up CI/CD pipelines.

Market Gap

Remote work has opened the global market. A Kenyan with AWS skills can work for companies in London or New York from Nairobi.
