Our Learner’s Journey

“My experience with ALX foundations was pretty nice and eye-opening. The foundations are so important, and helpful and have caused a lot of growth in my life. The tech track has been hard, not easy at all but using the knowledge from Foundations I have learned to manage my time well make sure to meet deadlines, and still stay productive.”

Alice,

ALX Learner, Kenya

“ALX foundations was very insightful and impactful, especially to beginners in tech. Specialization is filled with its challenges but the learning journey is amazing. The content is perfect as well and the MCQs allow us to practice our skills. ”

Brenda,

ALX Learner, Kenya

“ALX was a godsend. It gave me structure, community, and opportunity as well. The programme was intense but I do not regret it though because of the amount of growth. Now believe that there is literally no problem I cannot solve. There is literally nothing I cannot build. All it takes is time.”

Andrew,

ALX Graduate, Kenya
