10 Academy prepares graduates for life-long learning. This is achieved through continual emphasis on self-learning and peer-learning to complete whole-cycle projects so that graduates are ready for work from day 1.
Training is supported by full-time tutors who guide learners through each step of projects, providing support and enrichment.
Guest speakers and expert instructors provide inspiration and perspective on what outsized impact is possible.
10 Academy provides graduates with 17 competencies, selected in partnership with industry, which are essential for the job positions of Machine Learning Engineer, Data Engineer and for MLOps.
Each weekly project will be marked along those competencies and trainees will be measured against a global expectation of job readiness for each of these competencies.

Our talent model assumes that attitude, work-ethic and intelligence are better predictors of long-term success than current skill levels.
To measure each of attitude, work-ethic and intelligence, 10 Academy tracks a set of measures on each of these topics carefully each week. Learners that can display these attitudes consistently week-on-week for 12 weeks, applied to delivering data science projects, will be selected as the 50 that will complete our training program.
Weekly leaderboards are published to showcase learner progress and to give a gamified aspect to the training.
Graduates that complete and match into a job are asked to pay-forward $1000 to enable future trainees to attend 10 Academy. This is less than 1.5 months of our 2020 median salary.
Payback starts once you are earning >=$500US/month.
Fully-online training, 6 days/week for 12 weeks to get recent African undergraduates job ready.
Anyone from Africa that has recently completed an undergraduate degree and wants to become a Machine Learning Engineer, Data Engineer or ML DevOps Engineer.
That's fine with us, as long as you can demonstrate the required pre-requisite knowledge.
We plan to offer a small number of experimental places to those that haven’t completed their undergraduate degrees.
We cannot guarantee anyone a job afterwards, but you don’t pay back until you are getting paid. Batch 3 saw 74% job placement within 6 months, and we aim to improve on that for Batch 4.
With 10 Academy, the growth was exponential and within weeks I was building my models and even perfecting them.
They had equipped us with skills that were in demand in the market and trained us on how to remain relevant in the future.
With 10 Academy, I’ve grown professionally with all skills (technical and non-technical) needed to become a job-ready data scientist. All starting from zero. 10 Academy is a better place for young Africans to start their careers in data science.
10 Academy made a creative, knowledgeable and skilled data scientist from the newbie. What seemed impossible became possible and all this was through the effect of 10 Academy training.
The hands on experience on the weekly projects taught and challenged me to work smarter and always look for efficient ways to handle tasks at hand, which have been using in my current job.
Glory and gore go hand in hand, but again the on and off switches of the 2 are in your mind – 10 Academy showed me that.
