Hear from a student
I enjoy how the course work is structured, my Technical Mentor is super reliable and provides useful resources that compliment the course work I’m doing. The support from Zindua is excellent, they have a dedicated Slack channel where we ask and receive help from both the Technical Mentors and my fellow students. The projects are challenging but manageable and help reinforce the material covered. I would recommend Zindua to anyone who wants to kickstart their tech career and want a personalised learning experience.
