Mr Tariq Alsaffar, Founder and Chairman of Reboot 01 Coding Institute said “We want to give everyone a chance to change and improve their lives. Reboot 01 takes people with no experience, from any educational or vocational background and transforms them into real full-stack developers in only 2 years. These skills are highly sought after by local and multinational companies like Google, Amazon, telecoms, and the banking industry, and we believe Reboot 01 will help address the jobs of the future for Bahrainis. At Reboot 01 it’s never too late, you can shift your career into the lucrative industry of tech.”
