About
School of IT offers both online and in person bootcamps from its campuses in Cape Town and Somerset West, South Africa. Bootcamps include Full Stack Software Development, Mobile App Development, Digital Marketing, CyberSecurity, and Data Science.

All bootcamps come with courseware, including ebooks, certain software programs, and additional resources.
No prior coding or educational experience is required. Anyone with a passion for IT is welcome to apply. The bootcamps are also open to current high school students. Start times are flexible, and students may begin courses as soon as they have registered. Students can choose the days and times they want to complete coursework and interact with their mentor.
All School of IT bootcamp students will be assigned a personal mentor with whom they will work 1:1 throughout the duration of the program. Mentors will teach via interactive software and will be able to interact with students’ computer screens and assist with coding and software challenges as though they were in the same room with the student.
School of IT offers job placement assistance for all bootcamps that are between 12 and 24 weeks long. School of IT recommends that students pass international qualification exams before applying for employment.
Payment plans allow bootcamp students the option to pay in 20 hour intervals rather than paying the full cost of tuition upfront. School of IT graduates will receive a certificate of achievement upon bootcamp completion. Students may choose to take internationally recognized Microsoft, Oracle, CompTia++, and/or Adobe certification exams, but these are not required as part of the bootcamp.

School of IT Reviews
- High quality teaching- 7/21/2021Reece Dell • Graduate • Course: Software Development course • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInI had a wonderful experience doing the C# software development course through School of IT. My instructor Marco was knowledgeable and patient. The content gave me a firm foundation in C# and the exercises were engaging. Marco and I also developed some WPF games, building on content we had covered up to that point. This was really enjoyable as I could practice my skills with a really fun activity. The one on one classes are great because the pace can be adjusted to suit the learner. I personally already had some coding experience so we could move quickly through the introductory content and spend more time on other topics I struggled with. However, the course is structured so that anyone at any level of experience will benefit from the course. As I was still completing a university degree during the course it was great that I could schedule lessons that suited my timetable. Learning through School of IT was definitely worthwhile and I would recommend them to anyone wanting to learn coding.
