What will you learn?
Over 11 months, you will progress through four terms of increasingly advanced skills, moving from foundational thinking to real-world AI engineering. Throughout the programme, you will also develop the professional habit of explaining and defending every technical decision in plain language — the single skill that distinguishes you in a technical interview.
Foundations & Mindset
Think like a developer. Computational thinking, programming foundations, web, version control, design thinking and Agile, and using AI as a thinking partner rather than a crutch.
Full-Stack Build
Ship something real for someone real. Frontend, backend, APIs, databases, cloud and deployment, plus the senior practices most courses skip: reading, refactoring, reviewing and testing production code.
AI-Native Engineering
Build with intelligence, not just use it. LLM integration, RAG and embeddings, agents and tooling, AI security, and system design at the frontier. The capstone starts here.
Internship & Capstone
In the final term, you will apply everything in a real company placement, embedded in a live agile team, while simultaneously completing a deployed capstone project that solves a real community problem.
Spiritual formation
Discipleship that builds a biblical understanding of God, self, and work, empowering students to live and lead with purpose.

Paid Internship
Our 3-month internship program places you with one of our industry partners, where you’ll apply your skills in real-world settings. This not only enhances your software development abilities but also prepares you for a successful career as a junior developer.
The Ideal Candidate
We’re looking for individuals who are eager to launch their careers in technology and embrace challenges with enthusiasm. Our teaching approach ensures you develop mastery in software development, guiding you from foundational concepts to interesting coding challenges. You’ll also grow spiritually, deepening your understanding of Christian principles and learning how to live them out in the workplace.
Course Structure
One year, project-based from day one. We take graduates who can think logically and turn them into high-agency, AI-native developers — engineers who don't just ship working software, but reason about it, defend their decisions, and lead the room. Depth and judgement over content volume.
What graduates walk away with
A deployed portfolio, physical internship experience in the USA, executive-level communication, and a curated stack of high-value industry certificates — ready to launch a venture or strengthen an established team.
What sets it apart
Project-based and frontier-focused — every brief is real, every phase answers a clear question.
AI as a competitive edge — engineers who build with AI, not just around it, sit in the top tier of entry-level talent globally.
Executive-level thinking — justify every decision in plain language, the exact skill a technical interview, a client, or a board tests.
Built for someone real — problems come from students' own communities and run from first problem statement to deployed product.
Formation that holds — identity, calling and character run underneath the technical work, forming developers grounded in faith and excellent in their craft.
How learners are assessed
No traditional exams. Every assessment is a project or presentation defended before a panel, each with a recorded walkthrough — the same pressure the real world applies.
