Questions students ask us

How much does a coding course cost in Kenya?

Our courses range from KSh 650 to KSh 2,999 depending on the programme. You can pay once or spread it weekly or monthly at no extra cost, so you can start without paying everything upfront.

Is there an affordable coding school in Kenya for beginners?

Yes. Ivy Tech Academy was built to be affordable — most programmes start under KSh 1,000, with flexible weekly and monthly payment plans. There are no hidden fees and no charge for the certificate.

Can I learn coding with no prior experience?

Yes. Our beginner programmes assume no background in programming or maths beyond secondary school. You start from the basics with a live instructor and build real projects from week one.

Can I study from Uganda or Tanzania?

Yes. Classes are online and live, so students join from Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. You can pay in your local currency by mobile money — M-Pesa, MTN or Airtel Money.

How long does it take to learn data science?

Most students reach job-ready level in 4 to 6 months studying part-time. Our shorter programmes take 5 to 6 weeks and cover Python, data analysis and practical AI tools.

Are the classes online or in person?

All classes are online and live with an instructor, not pre-recorded videos. Sessions are recorded so you can catch up, and you keep access to the course materials.

Do I get a certificate at the end?

Yes. Every graduate receives a verifiable certificate with a unique ID and QR code that employers can check online instantly. It is included in the course fee.

Is coding a good career in Kenya?

Demand for developers, data analysts and AI skills continues to grow across East Africa, and remote work means you can also earn from international clients. Our graduates work in software, data and IT support roles.

Will I get help finding a job after the course?

Yes. Career mentorship is built in — CV and LinkedIn reviews, portfolio guidance and interview practice. Graduates can also apply to our internship programme for real project experience.

What is the best coding school in Nairobi?

Look for live instruction rather than recorded videos, a verifiable certificate, transparent pricing and real student outcomes. Ivy Tech Academy offers all four, with courses from KSh 650 and flexible payment plans.
