What they say - Skills for a Digital Future
The most useful skill outside the program has been problem-solving. Coding taught me to break down complex problems into smaller, manageable steps, which is helpful in various non technical situations. This approach improves decision-making, enables better planning, and enhances efficiency in tackling challenges beyond coding. - Mahlatse
The most surprising element was likely how much of a difference understanding the fundamentals made when tackling more complex coding concepts. Each topic seemed to build on the last, creating a solid foundation for problem-solving. - Lawrence

What they say - AWD alumni
Web development provides a creative outlet that allows me to bring my ideas to life, which as an individual I find fulfilling. Every time I tried creating websites I realized there’s always something new to learn and I love the intellectual stimulation it provides. - Sakhile
This programme is different from other programs that I’ve participated in. There is so much support and interaction, making it more motivating for an individual to finish what they have started. It gives opportunities to everyone despite their skill-set, as long as they see you are willing to put in the work and improve yourself. - Progress
