What our students say

“Before NextGen Playground, I knew Linux basics but had no idea how to deploy anything to production. The Docker and Kubernetes modules gave me hands-on experience that I now use every day at work.”

Landed a DevOps role 3 months after completing the track

“The AWS track is practical from day one. I built real infrastructure, not just read about it. The capstone project became my portfolio piece that got me hired.”

Secured a cloud engineering internship at a fintech startup

“I tried several free courses online but never finished them. The structure here, with progress tracking and community accountability, kept me going. I shipped my first SaaS in month 4.”

Built and launched a client project within 4 months

“The bootcamp cohort was exactly what I needed. Having a mentor review my Terraform code and a group pushing each other made all the difference compared to learning alone.”

Completed cohort with 92/100 capstone score

“I was a traditional sysadmin doing everything manually. The CI/CD and IaC modules showed me modern practices. My team now deploys 5x faster because of what I learned here.”

Automated his team's deployment pipeline

“The cybersecurity track is the most affordable quality training I found in Africa. The labs with real vulnerability scanning tools gave me confidence I couldn't get from just reading.”

“I love that I could start free and see if the platform was legit before paying. The free modules were already better than paid courses I tried elsewhere. Subscribing was a no-brainer.”

“The SQL and Python modules were exactly what my job needed. I went from Excel-only to building dashboards with real data in 8 weeks. My manager noticed immediately.”

Promoted to lead analyst role

“The certificate verification URL is a great touch. I share it with every client. It shows I actually completed something real, not just watched YouTube videos.”
