It depends on the state you are in, mostly they have their locations listed online

Udemy. That’s all you need.

fatherofnone:
I'd prefer physical classes
it will aid my concentration level

Forget that thing.
If you can’t learn something by watching it over and over again, the physical class will also be difficult.
Let me tell you for a fact, I have attended a three months physical bootcamp where we were about 7 or 8 students learning coding but I got more value from my udemy courses because I can always go back and rewatch it. You might even be unlucky to have a physical tutor who is not very grounded in the stack he’s teaching but because you guys are just newbies you will be nodding head. Udemy courses or other similar platforms has a standard especially when you purchase “best sellers” courses.
And let me tell you another fact, a guru in coding might not have the chance to be teaching in all these physical classes. I am talking of a senior earning good money! How much will all these stingy owners of coding school pay him compared to tech companies?
Learn online but network offline!

Look out for Devs Hangouts that happens in big cities like Lagos, Abuja, or PH etc. Especially Lagos, attend these physical hangouts and meet experienced developers and try to build your network for job opportunities.
Even if you are to attend a physical bootcamp like I did in 2022, your target should be primarily for networking.
Another option I will recommend is that if there is a high chance of job placement after the training but you have to be very careful because many coding schools claim to offer job placement to students after training but will struggle to fulfill this very promise because many tech companies are reluctant to hire a junior developer to be sincere.

Remember my earlier point is that you will actually learn more at a cheaper rate when you use udemy and Co compared to paying huge amounts to learn at a coding school.

As for me, I learn by reading documentation and practicing what I read from the docs, but this comes with experience sha.

It all depends on the what area of coding or programming you looking at. You need to know the what each area specifies

fatherofnone:
cybersecurity

You obviouly don't know what you want to learn
