Why This Works When Tutorials Don't

You've watched the tutorials. But you still feel stuck.

You've built to-do lists. You've copied code. But deep down, you still can't confidently say:
"I know how to build a real, working system that someone can use — and pay for."

You're not sure how to:

  • Design proper layouts
  • Host your website without breaking it
  • Structure a backend API
  • Rank your work on Google
  • Approach clients with confidence

I’ve been where you are. That’s why this Laravel mentorship is different.

This isn’t just about learning Laravel syntax. It’s about building full Laravel systems — from login to launch — that can run real businesses or land real jobs.

It’s about becoming a Laravel-powered digital builder — someone who can code, deploy, earn, and stand out in Kenya’s tech market.

Program Details

Next Cohort Starts: August 5th, 2025

Format: 100% online. All sessions are conducted via Google Meet, with replays available inside our student dashboard.

Curriculum: You'll go from zero to production-ready Laravel apps. We cover everything from routes and migrations to authentication, APIs, file uploads, email, roles & permissions, and deployment.

Community: You’ll be added to a private Whatsapp group with direct access to me and your fellow students.

Who It’s For: Anyone in Kenya (or Africa) who wants to stop watching tutorials and start building paid Laravel projects — whether freelance or full-time.

Weekly Flow: We meet 3x per week for live sessions, with project assignments and feedback in between. Everything is practical — no theory overload.

Why Laravel?

Loved by Real Businesses

From startups to schools, Laravel powers CRMs, dashboards, e-commerce stores, and business websites across Africa, Europe, Asia — and even the U.S.

It's fast to build with, cheap to host, and packed with features like authentication, queues, and APIs — out of the box.

Freelancers & Solo Devs Win

You're not trying to get hired at Google. You want to:

  • Land freelance clients
  • Build SaaS tools
  • Sell systems to small businesses
  • Launch MVPs in days

Laravel is perfect for that. Build fast. Deliver real value.

Local Market Needs

In Kenya and across Africa, real businesses need:

  • Church management systems
  • Custom admin portals
  • School or NGO dashboards
  • Online registration & booking systems

No React needed. No microservices. Just solid backends — powered by Laravel.

Strong Job Market

Check Upwork, LinkedIn, and even local Facebook groups. You'll see posts like:

  • "Need a Laravel dev to build a backend API"
  • "Looking for someone to fix our Laravel dashboard"
  • "Help us deploy a Laravel project on cPanel"

Laravel isn't dying, it's quietly powering the backbone of the web.

Laravel powers the backend of global brands like BBC, Pfizer, 9GAG, and TourRadar. It's trusted by startups and enterprises alike to build everything from CRMs to booking systems, fast, secure, and scalable.

Learning Laravel is a smart move backed by thousands of devs, agencies, and companies worldwide.

I Was Tired of Feeling Invisible…

I quit my job to build something real — something that actually helps people. I started my own agency, RatifiedTech, with just my skills and a mission.

My Hard-Won Journey:

  • I taught myself how to host websites from scratch
  • I learned SEO and started ranking for blogs
  • I helped clients get online — even when I earned less than I deserved
  • I started sharing my journey on TikTok and LinkedIn — now over 1,500 people follow me for real-world tech lessons

The Challenges I Faced:

  • Free hosting platforms broke on me
  • Tutorials left me confused
  • Most devs couldn't answer my questions

So I created this mentorship — not from theory — but from real, lived experience.

If you're tired of feeling lost, I made this for you.
