Additional Information
About CoderSchool
Established in 2015, CoderSchool offers high quality, fast-paced training for engineers across Android, iOS, Ruby on Rails, React Native, UI/UX, and Blockchain. Our curriculum was originally developed in Silicon Valley and is in official use at many leading tech companies, such as Facebook, Netflix, and Intuit.
In Vietnam, we use this same curriculum in addition to curriculum we’ve developed on our own, and have taught over 300 engineers. CoderSchool alumni have gone on to work at leading tech companies such as Uber, TinyPulse, Lazada, Wizeline, Sentio, Saleshood, Tiki, Mingle, and Silicon Straits.
In addition to regular Demo Days, which have seen as many as 500+ attendees per event, we host regular meetups for the community featuring guest speakers on exciting new technologies and topics, such as Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Electric Vehicles, Chatbots, Entrepreneurship, and others.
95% of our students would recommend our course to a friend, and we’re currently rated 5.0/5.0 on CourseReport. We’ve received over 3000 applications for entry into our program. For more about CoderSchool, you can also visit http://www.coderschool.vn.
Coderschool Teaching Staff

Event Space
CoderSchool will officially launch their brand new 540 sqm. campus in downtown Ho Chi Minh City in April 2018. We’d like to be the home for NEM events and NEM experts to reside. We could do co-branding with NEM on the event space or classrooms, and reserve private working space for NEM experts and community members.
Community
CoderSchool has a long history of developer advocacy and community building. Over a thousand developers have attended CoderSchool tech talks and Demo Days. CoderSchool also is the official organizer for the Tech in Asia City Chapter in Ho Chi Minh.
