As artificial intelligence reshapes the global tech industry, WeThinkCode_ has introduced an industry-focused AI Course for Developers designed to help programmers integrate generative AI tools into their daily workflow.
This short, intensive programme is built for developers and tech students who want to move beyond theory and apply AI directly to coding, debugging, documentation, and learning new frameworks.
AI Course Snapshot
- Duration: 2 Weeks
- Structure: 9 Modules
- Delivery Mode: Fully Online
- Commitment: 40 Hours (Monday–Friday)
- Certification: Certificate of Completion
- New Cohort: Every Monday
The programme is structured as a focused, high-impact learning experience rather than a long-term qualification, making it ideal for working developers or final-year students.
2026 Cohort Dates
The course is available on the following dates:
- 23 February – 06 March 2026
- 09 March – 20 March 2026

- 23 March – 03 April 2026
New cohorts begin every Monday, subject to availability.
What This Course Focuses On
Unlike general AI courses, this programme zeroes in on practical AI application for software development.
AI for Code Comprehension
Participants learn how to use Large Language Models (LLMs) to quickly understand complex or unfamiliar codebases — a critical skill in collaborative development environments.
AI-Enhanced Documentation
Developers are trained to automate and synchronise documentation with code updates, improving team communication and project clarity.
AI Debugging & Refactoring
The course explores how AI tools can assist with generating tests, identifying issues, and optimising code structures.
AI-Powered Learning
Participants discover how AI can accelerate the process of learning new frameworks, languages, and technical stacks.
The emphasis throughout the programme is on responsible, effective use of AI as a development partner, not a replacement for core programming skills.
Who Should Apply?
The AI Course is designed for:
- Students enrolled in programming-based qualifications (e.g. Computer Science)
- Recent tech graduates
- Entry-level software developers
Applicants must have:
- A foundational understanding of software engineering
- Access to a computer and stable internet connection
- A valid student or professional email address
- A valid South African mobile number
No Experience? No Problem, Vodacom TechStart Programme 2026 might be your best bet.
Flexible, Structured Online Learning
The programme is delivered entirely online through a structured virtual environment.
Participants benefit from:
- Live facilitator-led sessions with interactive learning
- Real-time collaboration tools, including pair programming
- Virtual office hours for one-on-one support
- A peer learning community that encourages problem-solving and networking
The structured but flexible model allows learners to complete the course within two weeks while engaging deeply with practical exercises.
About WeThinkCode_
WeThinkCode_ is a South African software development academy focused on bridging the country’s technical skills gap and addressing youth unemployment.
Through its flagship 16-month development programme, the academy trains young people to become job-ready backend developers equipped with market-relevant programming and work-readiness skills.
This AI Course represents an extension of that mission, ensuring that South African developers remain competitive in an AI-driven global economy.
Why This Course Stands Out
As generative AI becomes embedded in modern development tools, productivity increasingly depends on how effectively developers can work alongside AI systems.
This course does not just introduce AI concepts, it focuses on practical integration into real-world development workflows.
