Hello Tracy, there is no way I could spam the thread with just a single message that doesn't conflict with any of the rules on here.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT ALX


“It does not take much strength to do things, but it requires a great deal of strength to decide what to do.”

I also believe that with the right answers, the greatest deal of decisions could be taken in a snap.

In this short article, I have made a fairly thorough compilation of the FAQs surrounding alx software engineering program - I am going to be providing answers to common questions asked by intending and new applicants of the alxafrica software engineering program.

As you read on, most of the burning questions you have will be answered, and in turn, you will discover how pertinent these answers are to making the best decisions about alx software engineering program.


For quality purposes, I will not be addressing technical issues.

Is alx software engineering program free?
To the best of my knowledge and information that exist, alx software engineering program is currently still sponsored by Mastercard Foundation and a few other partners. If you are above 18 years, you are free to apply and start building your career in SE. Nevertheless, it will be deplorable to think the program is coming cheaply and hence have nothing or very little to offer.

I also had a little nudge about the authenticity of that information; a software engineering certification was offered for free. When I first saw the offer, it felt too good to be true, I didn't take it seriously for a moment, but I just said to myself - why not; my mind is already made up not to pay anyone. Then, I applied, and hurray; I got accepted for the application just the following day. Jeez, that was fast!🤯 but it's real.


Can I complete the program with my mobile device(phone, iPad)?

I could ask a synonymous question, can you build a house with beach sand? The answer is yes😀, but only insects can live in it.

It will be very difficult to participate in an entire program for software engineering with just your mobile phone, and although there are emulators you can download to your android phone capable of doing lots of cool stuff, a popular one is termux - in there, you can even install text editors like vim. But such an arrangement wouldn't be great for learning, it will be thoroughly difficult and probably impossible over time as you progress in the program.


Is alx SE program good for absolute beginners?

Time and again, absolute beginners have hopped on alx and graduated. While it may not be considered beginner friendly, it takes only your will to start and finish and even finish excellently. If you've never written a line of code before, one working approach you could take as an absolute beginner is to do your task as soon as possible and study ahead. Alx is quite overwhelming even for people who are already developers, so you should prepare yourself mentally, emotionally, and physically, you should build a mental forte or you would get frustrated with the littlest task.


Can I combine alx with other day-to-day activities?

Combining two torturous activities is a call for death.

Just as originally advised, you should prepare all-around wise, but it is also a call to be preserved all-around. You shouldn't be deprived of sleep or you'd break down. If your daily activities like your job or other commitments are laborious, do well to draw up a good schedule to manage your time well, especially for efficiency and productivity.

This is my 1st month in the program. I am doing very well, I'm already a developer before I joined alx, but I got to a point where I was overwhelmed and had to reschedule. I was going with little or no sleep many times just to meet up with other commitments. At one point, I started forgetting things easily, some even said it was dementia, not long did I discover it was a result of lack of sleep, so I changed that. Other people had to stop one for the other but a test is welcome, a trial will give you conviction on what to do.


Is the alx certificate globally recognized?

Their partnership with Holberton covers international recognition. Upon graduation, you get a joint certificate carrying alx and Holberton school.


Are we going to spend up to 10 hours per day as a commitment to the alx SE program?

Yes, you'll even spend more. According to alx, this is what’s required to thrive in the program and your future career as a software engineer. You'll definitely find yourself spending more if you want to progress.


Will I get a Software engineering job upon graduation from the alxafrica SE program?

Alx has a solid job support system, this is why they have The-ROOM, it is a community of global employer partners, influential leaders and mentors, and a diverse network of like-minded peers, you get invited as a fellow after you complete the program and meet the requirements - no payment involved.

So, it's important to do well in the course of your program, not just to scale through but to build a portfolio deserving to be hired. So alx is not giving you an automatic job but a pass to be employed, a little relief from the hassle you face without job support and if you are good, you'll get jobs.


Is alx curriculum outdated?

No, it is not. Ignore every backlash about the curriculum. I could say the curriculum is stringent because you learn the core things, they don't just navigate you on what to punch in your keyboard like a video turtorial, they navigate you through the right approach to solving problems as well as keeping you up to date on what's obtainable in an organized setting, everything you learn there are surefire concepts you'll need in the real world today.

I applied two days ago and i was accepted. Onboarding starts in January. so i believe we'll be in the same batch. I was already on my journey to become a frontend dev when i saw this opportunity. You can imagine my shock to see that the curriculum is wider than just React, Html, CSS or even JavaScript.... But i know I must strive to be able to thrive.... so, here am I!

Hello my man, looks like we have the same background in this career, I would love to connect with you so that we can work together, I also just applied and got accepted.

Can you send your number or text me on Whatsapp please 08169826503

I would also love to connect with every other person who has just registered or already a participant in this program. Thank you

What kind of poison is this, that thry won't grow bigger and about agric snails. Snails are snails abeg as long as you know their names. AM, AA, AF are the best for commercial purposes are can be found in d bush. I rear them and they grow well. Stop all this unnecessary intellectually teaching.

omo17:


I av to be honest with u, don't expect this snail u hand pick to grow any bigger, I want to belif u pick dem up from the Bush, u have change there natural habitat, although dey will definitely mature but not in size, am talking from experience. in fact i still av some i picked last week again. The only hope for bigger snail is the one coming from there hatched egg, i want to bilif dey av started laying eggs, those one will definitely grow in size because this is the environment they were brought up. even with dat, dey can only attain the normal size u c around d Bush because there breed is different from d agric type u see being rear by farmers. Those snails u find in the Bush are different from the one being reared purposely for commercial purposes. D Bush type when they attain full size will always be small compare to the agric type. hp u get wat am saying. U can't rear d one u hand pick nd expect to make huge profit compare to d agric type, am using d phrase "agric type because I don't knw the name for the breeds, but definitely i knw wat am saying. in essence, wat am saying is dat if u want to practice commercial snail farming (purposely for selling) forget abt those hand picked nd go for gud breed. They are just different.

With regards to changing soil, do not change soil. those eggs won't hatch dat way. Leave d soil
