Learning Path
Whether you are looking to continue your education, transition into a career in tech or simply boost your career path, we offer certifications across three tracks in Software Programming.
At the initial stage, students who are enrolled in AltSchool Africa will spend some time exploring their interests in software engineering by learning through a unified curriculum before eventually landing on an area of focus. When this happens, learning becomes much more specialised to the selected certification track.

Backend Engineering
Backend engineering is an exciting career track. Like the name suggests, backend engineering deals with the part of a website or a software application that the users do not see or interact with. As a backend engineer, you are responsible for building the structure of a software application. In this program, you will learn how to program servers, client-side interfaces and design databases using the various programming languages.
