Leo, Frontend developer, DAP 23
I studied Computer Science in university and learned coding for coursework, but I never felt ready to work in a real tech company. Joining Node Eight Academy gave me the clarity and structure I needed.
The hands-on projects and mentorship turned theory into practice, and for the first time, I felt confident in my skills as a developer. Now I can take on real-world projects and contribute to tech teams with confidence.
Iris, Digital marketer, DAP 23
Before joining Node Eight Academy, I only knew how to post on social media. Through the Digital Marketing pathway, I learned how to run campaigns, analyze data, and grow brands online. The hands-on projects and mentorship gave me real experience, and I even managed campaigns for a startup during my apprenticeship.
Today, I work as a digital marketing associate, creating strategies that actually deliver results. Node Eight turned my curiosity into a career
