Remote work is now mainstream for SA developers: Post-2020, remote work became standard across the SA tech sector. Many SA developers now work for companies with no SA office at all — UK, EU, and US companies hiring South African developers at competitive rates. This has opened a new tier of income for mid-to-senior SA developers that wasn’t accessible before. OfferZen and LinkedIn are the primary platforms for finding these roles from South Africa.

Every lesson is a live call on MS Teams or Google Meet. You see your lecturer, they see you, and you both share screens, so you're doing the work, not just listening.
