About

NEXT Academy offers a 10-week coding bootcamp focused on web development in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. NEXT Academy was founded by self-taught programmer and bootcamp graduate, Josh Teng. NEXT Academy partnered with the Malaysian government agency, Malaysian Global Innovation & Creative Centre (MaGIC) in 2014 - jointly officiated by U.S. President Obama, Prime Minister of Malaysia Najib Razak and Founding CEO Cheryl Yeoh who previously sold her company to Walmart Labs, to grow the tech startup ecosystem in Malaysia.

The primary goal of NEXT Academy is to equip passionate individuals to be great entrepreneurs, marketers and developers — the key ingredients to get a startup running and moving on solid ground. The 9 week coding bootcamp meets full-time 9am-6pm on weekdays. Around twenty students are accepted each month. Students learn in a hands-on style and are presented with a set of challenges to solve each day and by the end of the course will build a fully-functional web app.

Over 400 students have graduated from NEXT Academy and are employed with some of the biggest startups in the region including GrabTaxi, KFIT, Mindvalley, RevAsia, BusinessInsider, Says and more. Some multinational corporations also hire graduates from NEXT Academy as well. Ninety-nine percent (99%) of all graduates have either started their own startups or joined a company as a coder, marketer, or designer! In its relatively short period of existence, various startups have been started by graduates of NEXT Academy and have raised venture funding of up to RM300k.

NEXT Academy is part of the 500 Startups' portfolio.

I enjoyed learning Web Development at NextAcademy. When I started the bootcamp in NextAcademy, I hadn't touched a computer in about a year. I wouldn't say I was tech-savvy at all. But after the course, I feel like I learned a lot. I don't think you have to be very tech-savvy or know all the latest trends to get into programming. NextAcademy will teach you how to think like a programmer and teach you all the basics you need to be a junior developer. I do feel like I have a lot more to learn, but with what I learned at NextAcademy I feel that I can start a career as a programmer and be able to contribute to a project.

I felt that the mentors were very patient and really wanted us to learn. They always were near by in class or a instant message away to help us. I really appreciated that!
