Jermaine's journey
Jermaine started his journey with Codetrain at just 8 years old, when his parents recognised his interest in technology and made the decision to nurture it early.
By 11, he had built a COVID-19 statistics app. At 12, he started his first company. As his technical skills grew, so did his confidence, leadership, communication and ability to turn ideas into real projects.
His journey went beyond the classroom. Jermaine gained real-world experience through an internship with a technology startup and went on to mentor at Moonshot Pirates in Austria.
Today, Jermaine has earned five full A-Level scholarship offers in the UK, including Eton College.
His journey shows what is possible when a child's potential is discovered, nurtured and developed early.
