Programming › Apprenticeship: A Key That Ignites Software Development Career by moatacad(op): 4:55pm On Apr 12, 2025*

Are You Prepared for an Apprenticeship Journey?

When Moat Academy ( https://moatacademy.com )was birthed, the plan of our faculty members was to replicate themselves in our Participants… And that is the power of Apprenticeship!

A job seeker needs to get industry experience to perform better at the workplace. Such trainings give a huge experience in making their career a success. It is also important to choose the right path of training whether it is apprenticeship or internship to increase one’s employability.

An apprenticeship is the practice of assigning a novice to learn a trade under the direction of an expert ( Master); as an apprentice, you’re in the trenches alongside the veterans to gain in-depth experience in a specific field. It consists of a combination of hands-on experience and classroom education.

Under an apprenticeship model, you work alongside experts and doing what they do, you learn to solve challenges in a real-world context, working both creatively and effectively. In respect of the guild system, becoming a master craftsman took years of hard work. You had to pass through these stages :

Apprentice : This is the first step in learning a trade. You learn and work with a master. You usually don’t earn any money and your family had to pay the master to take you on. In this stage, your focus is inwards. Your goal is not only to grow your skills and yourself but also to learn how to learn. You should be like a sponge, to soak up as much knowledge as possible.

Journeyman : Once you had finished your apprenticeship you could earn money. Then you would be called journeyman. Sometimes you had to travel around to find work. Like the apprentice, the journeyman still maintaining an inward focus to learn and grow in their craft. And yet, add another focus of building an ever-larger portfolio of applications that demonstrates his progress in the craft.

Master: As proof of your skill, you often had to make a masterpiece; eventually you might join a guild as a master craftsman. In short, masters view the acquisition, usage and sharing of superior skill as the most important part of being a software craftsman.

Programming › Transforming Waste Into Wealth With Blessing's App by moatacad(op): 12:35pm On Mar 28, 2025*

Perhaps you can transform major challenges into blessings if your name is Blessing!

That was exactly what Blessing, one of the participants at Moat Academy ( https://moatacademy.com ) last concluded coding boot camp did; his desire to solve the waste management challenge with his recently acquired software development skills led him to develop a web application he called Eco Earn.

According to the Environmental Performance Index of 2024, Nigeria was ranked 105th out of 180 countries with a score of 27 out of 100, indicating Nigeria still generates massive amounts of solid waste, with poor collection and management posing immense threats to human and environmental health.

If Eco-Earn is adopted, it will help in the collection and recovery of energy and materials from waste. In turn, it becomes a money-spinner for everyday people; according to the Managing Director of Pioneer Waste Master Limited, about $250 billion is yet to be tapped in Nigeria's waste management sector.

Eco Earn ( https://moatcohorts.com.ng/c29/ecoearn ) is an application that incentivizes the general public to separate and gather their waste in order to be collected by waste agents known as collectors at a price set by the admin of the application. The collectors will in turn sell to the recycling company at a profit margin.

The application has an admin end ( screenshot below) where most activities are managed and reports are generated.

Blessing developed this application from the technologies learned at Moat Academy Coding Bootcamp using HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, and Javascript/JQuery for the frontend along with PHP OOP for the backend.

Blessing has now joined the development team of one of the nation's commercial banks

Programming › Mentoring, A Game Changer When Learning Software Development by moatacad(op): 5:01pm On Mar 21, 2025

The role of mentorship or expert coaching cannot be overemphasized when it comes to competence development and career growth.

Mentoring is an approach of training and developing people, where more experienced individuals (mentors) share their understanding and experience with less experienced individuals (mentees).

This might not apply to all fields of endeavor but there are some fields that mentoring is highly necessary in order to attain greatness. These fields have the following two characteristics:

1. A well-developed field, i.e. one in which the best performers have achieved a level of performance that distinguishes them from those
who are new to the area.
2. A competitive field.

Software development field has the two above:
It is stratified: we have junior developers, senior developers etc and it is highly competitive: there are a lot of coding challenges and hackathons.

When you try to review those who have attained greatness in some of the fields that fall into this category. For Instance; Football:

A quick google search on who was Messi’s mentor will fetch Ronaldinho.
And who was Ronaldinho’s mentor will fetch our own Jay Jay Okocha
But conduct a search on who was Okocha’s mentor, it will fetch nobody.

Messi won a record eight ballon d’or awards, Ronaldinho won two FIFA world player of year awards but unfortunately Okocha didn’t win any.

For most that have attained greatness in these fields have benefited from mentoring/ expert coaching such as Usain bolt with Glen Mill, Tobi Amusan with Lacena Golding-Clarke and many others.

Since software development field fall into this category, it cannot be exempted: Let’s take Mark Zuckerberg as a Case Study:

Mark Zuckerberg’s father, Edward, was an entrepreneur. He maintained a dental clinic at the family’s residency.

Computer programming was a hobby for Mark Zuckerberg. When he turned six, his father taught him Atari BASIC Programming.

As Mark Zuckerberg became more interested in programming, he became very proficient. Within four to six years, Mark created ZuckNet, a chat network for his father’s dental clinic and the rest of his family.

Mark’s family thought that he could develop much further and hence hired a software developer teacher David Newman. During this high school period, he enhanced his programming skills significantly.

Source: an excerpt from toolhero’s article

In your software development journey, you need an expert that knows much about where you are going and how to get there.

This will help you maneuver learning plateaus among many other benefits: A learning plateau is a flat place in a learning curve, indicating a period of little or no progress.

We have heard of so many that have experienced stagnation in their learning journey; some stopped at CSS, JavaScript even HTML and couldn’t move no further while some even spent longer than they should on their road to mastery.

At Moat Academy ( https://moatacademy.com ) , we have a specially designed curriculum and an effective pedagogy with our team of experts (our trainers are well experienced software engineers) that enables our participants to achieve proficiency in a short period of time.

Our Alumni are enjoying accelerated careers within and outside the country!

Programming › Become A Software Developer In The UK by moatacad(op): 8:58am On Jan 17, 2025

Is the United Kingdom (UK) your home? Are you aware that if you want to, you can change career to software development? Here are good reasons:[

In 2025, the software market in the United Kingdom is expected to generate a revenue of US$38.21bn with an annual growth rate of 6.03% from 2025 to 2029.

Despite its growth, the industry faces issues such as talent shortages and skill gaps. By 2025, the United Kingdom's digital sector is expected to employ 678,100 people.

Beyond the rhetoric above, please see real-world proof below: There are presently more than 13,000 (thirteen thousand) software developer openings offered by recruiters in the UK on LinkedIn as at Jan 03, 2025:

With how prominent and well-paying these jobs are, what is stopping people from applying for them if there are so many openings? The reasons could be numerous but not limited to the following:

First of all, it would take the help of seasoned mentors to become a software developer in the shortest period of time, and enrolling in a UK coding school could cost a fortune as full-time coding boot camps typically cost between £6,500 and £11,000.

Secondly:
Given the burden of expenses and bills in the UK, many people find it practically impossible to change careers due to the time commitment required to complete a full-time study.

Solution by Moat Academy:

With the immigration boom called ‘Japa Wave’, many people have migrated and will need a lucrative, long-term career that can be sustained. Our international remote coding boot camp ( https://int.moatacademy.com ), is a platform you can leverage on to get into the software development industry in the UK.

As part of our core value, it is an affordable coding boot camp with global standards with our alumni practicing in the UK.
The tuition is N1,600,000 (barely £800), with flexible payments of N100,000 commitment fee and N500,000 every two months.
The time commitment is also quite flexible, lasting 26 weeks (Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Sunday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.; and Thursday from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m.).

To join our next cohort starting March 08, 2025 , complete our assessment form on https://int.moatacademy.com/assessment . Residents of the UK and Ireland make up our present cohort

How have things changed for you since gaining software development skills?
Gaining software development skills has opened up numerous opportunities for me. I have been able to secure a job in Germany and work on exciting projects, connect with a network of professionals from different part of the world. It has been a transformative experience that has significantly accelerated my career.

What was your biggest fear before coming to Moat Academy and what do you feel about it now?
My biggest fear was whether I could keep up with the pace and complexity of the program, especially when it came to learning backend technology. However, the supportive environment at Moat Academy, combined with the hands-on learning approach, helped me overcome this fear. Looking back, I realize that those challenges were essential for my growth.

Since graduating, I have been on a remarkable journey. I quickly transitioned into the professional world, applying the skills I learned at Moat Academy to real-world projects. Working in an international environment has been enriching, and I have gained insights into different approaches to software development.

What advice do you have for those coming into Moat Academy?
My advice would be to stay focused and embrace the challenges. Moat Academy offers a fantastic opportunity to learn, but it is up to you to make the most of it. Be open to collaboration because this has also helped me to be freer and more open to people/colleagues, ask questions, and do not be afraid to step out of your comfort zone.

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
In five years, I see myself as a lead developer, heading a team of talented engineers. I also see myself as a prominent tech guru, known for bringing amazing and innovative ideas to life. I plan to establish a strong presence in the tech industry, with the ultimate goal of starting my own company and making a lasting impact.

Career › Companies Are Looking For Software Developers, Do You Want To Be One? by moatacad(op): 12:39pm On Jul 14, 2022

As of 2021, the global talent shortage amounted to 40M skilled workers worldwide. By 2030, the global talent shortage is predicted to reach 85.2M workers. Сompanies worldwide risk losing $8.4T in revenue because of the lack of skilled talents.

The US is under the risk of facing an unrealized output of $162B if the country's software developer shortage keeps growing at the same pace.

This is further buttressed with Amazon's coming to Nigeria to recruit software developers interested in relocating to Canada, Ireland and USA which advert went viral last week.

The demand for software developers is global and high; no wonder Moat Academy Cohort 20 members (our last concluded boot camp in April) are getting engaged like hot cakes, to mention just a few:

Abimbola - Software Developer at Profesionals File Inc
Aishat - Web Application Developer at Lotus Beta Analytics
Noah - Software Developer at Buckle
Samuel - Frontend Engineer at TeamApt
Munachi – Backend Developer at CreditWolf

Our approach is not mere academics; it is an apprenticeship model; where we have Master Software Craftsmen train our participants like Apprentices.

Just like any apprenticeship scheme, the duration is shorter than academics and more impactful, so within 12 weeks spent at Moat Academy, our participants attain the proficiency to develop application software on their own.

Are you interested in becoming a software developer?
