The intermediate track is for candidates who have 1-2 years prior programming experience on Android, web development, or product design.

Hello,

Really, I was over joy with opportunity given to Africa particularly Kenyans and Nigerians. But we face some difficulties while filling the form, especially with Age selection drop down and state selection drop down. please take note and rectify the problems as soon as possible to enable us complete our registration at the right time.

Please I just wanted to ask if they have started the program because they told us while registration that it will begin on the 13th of November and I haven’t gotten any email.
