About Colab.

Hey,

Happy New Year! At some point, 2021 seemed like it couldn't come fast enough, but now here we are, almost a whole month in deep! I hope you're doing well and keeping safe in these interesting times. While 2020 was not great for many, we did have a lot to celebrate at Colab, including a record number of hires for Colab Alumni!

This year, we are doubling down on a simple concept "How can we help build talent (products and systems as well) that will be relevant in the future (that's unpredictable?)". I have expanded on the thought here if you're interested, but suffice to say, we're rejigged all our programmes and processes to focus on that outcome.

While we'd love to accommodate everyone, we do have severely limited slots on every programme, so we can maintain social distancing. So first come first serve! All the new versions of the regular programmes start next week.

All Classes Back Next Week

All the classes are back in session next week. Due to social distancing measures, we have limited seats, so first come, first serve!

You can sign up for the programmes as follows:

• Code School
• Design School (UI/UX) 
• Introduction to Python 
• Graphics Design Class 
• Introduction to Data Science 

Fullstack Developer Track

I'm happy to announce that from the first week of March, we'll be starting a BRAND NEW Fullstack Developer Track, that's ideal for people who want to master both front-end and back-end development and know their way around both the fundamentals and some of the industry leading frameworks like NodeJS and React.

The course will span 3 months and cost N75,000 only. Interested? Sign up here.
