This is truly a wonderful opportunity for all those seeking to pursue a career in the tech industry…
when i checked on their official website, they stated clearly that all fees have been waived for 2022. Meanwhile, considering the fact that the program runs till August next year.. It made me wonder if we would be required to pay up for lessons from next year??
