The Danish startup CodersTrust, which provides programming courses for students in emerging countries, has entered the Romanian market. The platform aims to get about 2,000 Romanians for its online courses in the next two years.

The company charges EUR 350 for a course, which lasts between three and four months, reports Startupcafe.ro. It also works with companies that need IT specialists and gets a fee from the companies if the people it trains get hired.

The startup, which is backed by the development fund Danida, or Danish International Development Agency, also carries out projects in countries such as India or Bangladesh.

Romania has a big advantage compared to Bangladesh, according to Jan Cayo Fiebig, CodersTrust board president. It has several big IT companies, but it doesn’t have enough IT graduates. This is why the company also targets people with no IT experience, who are interested in getting jobs in the IT sector.

“We can take people who are not in the IT market and offer them the perspective of better paid jobs,” said Jan Cayo Fiebig.

CodersTrust teaches Computer Fundamentals, Php, My SQL, Ruby on Rails, Advanced WordPress, JavaScript.
