Why we exist

Getting started in tech is expensive. Good advice is unevenly distributed.

Bytes & Codes is for Nigerian students and recent graduates who need help with the cost of certification or a clearer idea of what to do next.

We fund recognised certifications and connect people with mentors who can answer the questions a course cannot.
