School of IT offers both online and in person bootcamps from its campuses in Cape Town and Somerset West, South Africa. Bootcamps include Full Stack Software Development, Mobile App Development, Digital Marketing, CyberSecurity, and Data Science. Students may choose to complete the bootcamps in 12-weeks (full time) or 24-weeks (part time). All bootcamps come with courseware, including ebooks, certain software programs, and additional resources.
No prior coding or educational experience is required. Anyone with a passion for IT is welcome to apply. The bootcamps are also open to current high school students. Start times are flexible, and students may begin courses as soon as they have registered. Students can choose the days and times they want to complete coursework and interact with their mentor.
All School of IT bootcamp students will be assigned a personal mentor with whom they will work 1:1 throughout the duration of the program. Mentors will teach via interactive software and will be able to interact with students’ computer screens and assist with coding and software challenges as though they were in the same room with the student.
School of IT offers job placement assistance for all bootcamps that are between 12 and 24 weeks long. School of IT recommends that students pass international qualification exams before applying for employment.
Payment plans allow bootcamp students the option to pay in 20 hour intervals rather than paying the full cost of tuition upfront. School of IT graduates will receive a certificate of achievement upon bootcamp completion. Students may choose to take internationally recognized Microsoft, Oracle, CompTia++, and/or Adobe certification exams, but these are not required as part of the bootcamp.

I had a remarkable time with Yadhir on behalf of the School Of IT. I can't wait to grow further in my IT Career as a Software Engineer. I highly recommend this course with no debate, I will rate this course a 10 out of 10!
YES! All the knowledge I wanted and more. I gathered a bundle of fundamentals and Software Industry Knowledge. Before I started the course I only knew HTML and a little bit of CSS. However, after my course I acquired the solid foundation of software full stack engineering. This solid foundation will easily allow me to expand my knowledge.
My Lecturer Yadhir is currently a Professional Software Engineer in the industry. This experience added to the job-ready skills Yadhir has shared with me. A few characteristics will be discovered by anyone who knows Yadhir are that he is:
- Extremely knowledgeable in the material he teaches
- Creates a culture of learning
- Teaches problem solving skills critical for any Software Engineer
- Genuinely Passionate about Software Engineering
- Open to the idea of Dynamic Learning
Thank you very much Yadhir
My time at the School Of IT was definitely value for my money. I was trained to be a job-ready software engineer and indirectly trained to acquire and internationally accredited certification. From no technical knowledge to Full Stack Software Engineer with international accreditation in under 6 months…Truly changed my life. Thank You School Of IT and Yadhir!

I chose to do the Software Development course through School of IT because I felt it was the best choice for me, as you can choose your coding language. I chose java and learnt it over 3 months. We covered intro, intermediate and advanced concepts of software development. The pros about School of IT and the course was the flexibility.

I had a great time learning from the lecturer. It was great being able to ask the questions that I had and get the answers straight away. Working through the course was interesting and exciting learning something new each day. The lecturer gave me homework on what we had learnt in the session, and we reviewed it the next day.- TyrellStudent • Programming courses • OnlineJun 02, 2025Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Great Entry Level Coding Experience
I enrolled into the entry level python coding course with the School of IT, and it proved to be a great foundational learning experience.
I found the course ideal for someone with no prior coding/IT background. Standard of teaching, and resources that were given to me were of a high standard and would recommend the School of IT to anyone looking to make a career switch into IT or wanting to add to their digital skill set. - Walton Jacques KinnearApplicant • Web Development course • OnlineMay 24, 2025Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Insightful and informative
The overall course was a major learning experience. The instuctor made the content very engaging making me even more compelled to learn! The learning process can be very tedious and unmotivating but my instructor made it better using word pictures and diagrams to help me understand topics better. - Mogamat Zayaan WilliamsStudent • OnlineJan 17, 2025Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

What I loved about School Of IT is that I never experienced any issues throughout the period of doing my course for Software Development. They made sure they gave me all the tools and resources. My lecturer was very professional and patient with my progress. Now that I’m done with my course, I can finally say that I’ve gained knowledge and I’ve improved so much from the 1st lesson until the last.
