DID YOU KNOW
We have no special pre requisites in order to attend our academy. You don’t even need to have matric. All you need to know is how to use a computer, we teach you the rest.
After attending our courses you are able to design websites and make your course money back with only 1 website. Everything after that is generating extra income.
This is by far the quickest and easiest way to start earning a very decent income for anyone, no matter age, experience or degree.
Attending short courses in the web industry is far better than attending a 3 year degree. By the end of your 3rd year everything you learned is old technology already. What a waste that is
