IT Courses with Work Experience
Relevant work experience is crucial to succeeding in today’s highly competitive job market. This is especially true for a field like information technology, where the widening skills gap has a detrimental effect on the productivity and growth of many organisations.
If you want to be considered for a job in IT, let alone stand out, you need to show that you have the necessary knowledge and skills to add value to an organisation from day one. What’s the easiest way to do this? Work experience!

Company Testimonials
“We have a student whose name is Ettienne. We got him last year via the recruitment event, and, at this point, he is probably one of our best developers. He came in with quite a bit of knowledge, which is great. That’s why we love Belgium Campus – I think they really do a great job.” – Rikus Du Preez, MathU Teaching Emporium Project Manager.
“If you look at our current dev compliment, a lot of our devs actually come from Belgium Campus, and ordinarily, the most successful ones in our environment.” – Jonathan Binedell, Raging River Talent Acquisition Specialist.
“One of our first employees that were in the graduate programmecame out of Belgium Campus, and that was quite successful. Since then, it’s been about 3 or 4 years that we’ve recruited here, and we’ve always had success.” – Dirk Naude, EPI-USE Associate Manager.
