There are dozens of tech schools in Nigeria. Most teach the same curriculum, charge similar fees, and produce graduates with similar gaps. We don't believe in that race.
Codar Tech Africa was built differently — by Nigerian engineers who've worked at MTN, Flutterwave, Microsoft, and Google. We know what employers actually want. We know what gaps junior devs in Lagos struggle with. And we've built every detail of our programmes around closing those gaps.
Every Codar class is taught live by senior tech professionals with 7+ years of industry experience at firms like Microsoft, Flutterwave, MTN, and Andela. You can ask questions, get instant feedback, and learn from someone who's actually shipped what they're teaching.
Theory is empty without practice. Every Codar student builds 8–12 real projects per course — e-commerce platforms, dashboards, security tools, ML models — work you can show employers on day one of your job hunt.
Every student is paired with a personal mentor — a working engineer or designer who reviews your code, supports your growth, and helps you navigate your first tech job. This is rare in African tech education.
We don't just teach you to code. We get you hired. Our career services team handles CV reviews, mock interviews, and direct introductions to our 40+ hiring partners — including GTBank, Flutterwave, Andela, and global firms.
Our fees are in Naira with instalment plans. Our class schedules respect Nigerian work hours. Our case studies use Nigerian businesses. Our examples reference Nigerian banks. Everything about Codar is built with the African student in mind.

"I tried two other tech schools before joining Codar. The difference was night and day — real engineers teaching, real projects, real outcomes. Six months after graduation I had a senior backend role earning ₦600k. Codar earned every kobo."
We're so confident in our programmes that we back them with a written commitment. Complete your Codar bootcamp, attend at least 90% of classes, submit all projects — and if you don't land a tech role within 12 months of graduation, we'll continue mentoring you for free until you do.
That's not marketing. That's how seriously we take your outcome.
