About Nexa Academy

We train engineers, not just coders

Nexa Academy is a Nairobi-based bootcamp built around one belief: talent is evenly distributed in Kenya, opportunity isn't. We exist to close that gap.

About Us

Why we started

Kenya produces thousands of brilliant graduates every year. Too many of them never get a first shot at a technical career; not for lack of ability, but for lack of access to real training and the people already doing the work. We started Nexa to change that: small cohorts, working engineers as mentors, and a curriculum shaped by what employers actually hire for.

  • Small cohorts, so mentors know every student by name
  • Taught by engineers currently working in industry
  • Curriculum reviewed each intake against real job postings
  • Flexible payment plans, because cost shouldn't decide who learns

How learning works here

You'll write code from week one. Our programmes are project-driven. You build real applications, get them reviewed line by line, and ship them. Every student gets a mentor, weekly one-to-ones, and honest feedback. We'd rather tell you something is not good enough than let you find out in an interview.

  • Project-based from day one, with no passive lectures
  • Weekly one-to-one mentorship
  • Code labs and review on everything you build
  • Interview preparation and portfolio support before you graduate
