Musty, Software Developer(Digital Lab) Fidelity Bank - April 2018 set

“I was impressed with the learning culture which made me grounded in the fundamentals of programming as well as standards and policies to thrive and succeed in Information Technology Industry. Moat academy holds a special place in my heart.”

Afeh , Junior Developer, Business Solutions DipoleDiamond Ltd
"The greatest from my point of view is the essential foundation I got from my training at MA. I get to see new things been done at my organization (which I am thankful for) regularly so I know my learning cannot stop. Without the MA foundation, I would not have the confidence to believe, and the courage to dream that I cannot become better at programming, and applying it as a tool to proffer tangible solutions."

Akugbe, Software Developer, Olivet Cloud Solutions Nigeria Limited
"Before coming to Moat Academy, I have not written any code in php and my knowledge of web technologies would rank 2 or 3 on a scale of 10. After 10 weeks of intensive training I built a full fledge project team collaborative application which I called Cohort. This was only possible because of the quality of training I received from Moat Academy and the support gained from the community (Moat Academy).

The training I received from Moat Academy helped me learn industry standard, industry best practices and cutting edge technologies such as version control, code igniter php framework for building web applications. I went on to learn php Laravel web framework which most company sorted.

Currently, I work at Olivet Cloud Solutions Nigeria Limited as a Software Developer in the Production department. As a software developer at Olivet Cloud Solutions, I have been involved in projects and my goal of becoming a world class developer is being realized because of the quality of training I received at Moat Academy".

Our Graduand, Dika Provides a Platform for Skilled University Students

When Unilancer, a platform developed by Dika Emmanuel Ututu is made public, skilled university students will have a cause to smile to the bank as their skills will generate wealth for them even while they are still on campus.

The product sprung up from his personal experience while he was also a student; he said, “the requirements from most freelancing platforms are difficult for students to meet”. Having a platform dedicated just for skilled students to ply their trade will go a long way so he longed towards providing a solution.

Dika’s dream of developing the freelancing platform became a reality during our just concluded bootcamp when he developed it from scratch to completion (using HTML5, CSS3 with some bootstrap classes to design its responsive User Interface, Javascript as client-side programming language, modelling the database with MySQL workbench and using PHP OOP, MySQL along with other technologies for the server side) within the boot camp time frame. He called it, Unilancer.

Unilancer is a one-stop shop where skilled university students can showcase their skills and create service/product offerings (called gig) and prospective clients /customers can transact business with them through it.
