6 Reviews 0 Courses

The Dev School (formerly Nairobi Dev School) is a 12-week program in Nairobi, Kenya offering courses in Full Stack Development, Front End Development, Back End Development and Mobile App Development. The school also offers a Cultural Immersion program for non-Africans to learn to code in the African context. The Dev School was founded in 2013 by Njeri Martha Chumo with the mission to give every person in Africa the opportunity to learn to code.  The Dev School is  Kenya’s first coding school and one of Africa’s first coding schools.

Classes are held at the state of the art iLabAfrica center located on Strathmore University campus. Students are eligible to receive financing from The Dev School or from their lending partners to cover the costs of tuition. Upon successfully completing the program, every student is either placed in a paying role as a developer with one of their Hiring Partners or directly with The Dev Shop to cover no less than the cost of the tuition financed. 

The Dev School also operates The Dev Shop, their in house web and mobile development agency creating applications based on lean and agile methodologies. The shop hires developers trained in The Dev School's programs. Currently the school is operating in Nairobi Kenya with plans to expand to three more locations in Kenya, Kigali, Rwanda, and Kampala, Uganda in Q1 of 2016.

    The whole program was a scam

    I remember I was talking to the CEO asking to participate in their program as an instructor and he wants me to take their classes first and see how I do even though I have the qualification. Since I want it so bad to be part of the program I told him...
