The personalised, code-centered online coding bootcamp
Hyperion was founded with an ambition to scale human-led education in programming. We believe that machines can't match humans, and learning to code is best achieved by having a coding educator review your code on a day-by-day basis.
Hyperion has built an online course platform that allows human code review to be scaled, applying this methodology to help thousands of students from over 30 countries learn how to code in a novel way.
We're proud to power this model using the top technical talent from Africa, and to work with the worlds leading tech firms to deliver the highest quality educational content in software development.
Hyperion is one of Facebooks first Education partners and works closely with the Facebook engineering and training teams to build a novel educational experience. In 2016, Hyperion was selected as the grand prize winner in Education in Facebook's Africa Innovation Challenge securing growth funding from Facebook to scale.
Hyperion was founded by an ex-Googler and has maintained the relationship to become the first Google Authorised Training Provider in Europe, Middle East, and Africa. We've worked with Google to build and launch courses in Android and Computer Science, supporting software developers to master some of the most in-demand technology skills.
We've been widely recognised in Africa and abroad.
