I always see people posting "congratulations to me I have been accepted" I have never seen "I have graduated". I am curious, where are the graduates of this program? 1 Like |

Even though the curriculum and tasks are top-notch as they are practically driven. But the time frame for me is too short. 70 hours a week, learning the Linux command line and its default text editors like vim and emacs, git & github, C, Python, SQL, Javascript, and a whole lot of others all in a year. Many students defer or quit entirely due to burnout and imposter syndrome. Although there has been some great improvement in terms of the deferral process. Now those who defer don't have to start all over again, they resume with the next cohort, starting from where they deferred. That for me is a huge plus. 4 Likes |

ALX, if u don't have any programming language background abeg no waste ur time with ALX. Because u will end up as a copy and paste programmer. Instead go on youtube or buy courses from udemy. 6 Likes |

What are they even doing there? Everything Nigerian must involve stress and unnecessary suffering. At the end of the day they'd end up producing half baked copy paste programmers and so-called developers. For me those guys are 100% after investors Kesh and funding and don't give 2 craps about you guys. Very hard for Nigerian to give you something supposedly worth 1000s of dollars 100% free without getting something juicy back in return. 5 Likes |

Alx is more about time than being a beginner or professional in programming. Time is a huge factor. If you don't have or make out time for the program, you will suffer from burnout and imposter syndrome, thereby ending up as a ctr-v expert. Although I'm not a complete beginner to Linux, in just 3 months I learned so much about the Linux OS even more than what I learned in a year from youtube videos and Udemy courses about the Linux and UNIX OS in general. Those Udemy courses and youtube videos are more like do as I do and hold my hands. But ALX forces you to implement what you have learned in different case scenarios. They teach you not just how to code in this or that language, but software engineering at its core. As a graduate of the ALX software engineering program, you can work in cyber security, web development, DevOps, etc. It teaches you a lot about knowing how to read the fucking docs and find solutions to your coding issues. All in all, if you can't dedicate at least 6 hours daily to the ALX software engineering program STAY clear. And if you are an introvert, you might face issues, because ALX is built around networking and community learning. 5 Likes |

Sleekcode: ALX is not a Nigerian skill acquisition programme. It's owned by Fred Swaniker, a Ghanaian. Their programmes can be demanding but life-changing. |
Re: Do People Actually Graduate From ALX SE Program? YES THEY DO!!! by TheTraveler: 8:35pm On Aug 27, 2023 |
ChemicalReaction: Whether it’s owned by a Nigerian or not. The point is that they’re getting heavy funding, they partnered with MasterCard. |

ManAdii:That programme is a crazy one. How can I apply to learn software engineering and you are giving me tasks to call someone and interview them. Then give a report after the interview. Like seriously? I applied but after seeing where the program is going, I left on my own. The best thing for me to do is to learn at my own pace. I nor get strength for deadlines and mumu tasks |
