About CodeBack Academy
Empowering Filipino developers with world-class back-end skills
Our Story
CodeBack Academy was founded in 2020 by a team of passionate Filipino tech professionals who recognized a significant gap in the local education system: while many institutions offered general programming courses, few focused specifically on back-end development skills that are in high demand across the Philippines and globally.
Starting with just one PHP course and 15 students in a small Manila office, we've grown to become the Philippines' premier specialized academy for back-end development, having trained over 800 developers who now work in companies throughout the country and internationally.
Our growth reflects our commitment to excellence and our deep understanding of the Philippine tech ecosystem's unique needs. We continue to evolve our curriculum based on industry trends and feedback from our extensive network of alumni and partner companies.

Developing Filipino Tech Talent for the Future
At CodeBack Academy Philippines, we believe that Filipino developers possess immense potential to contribute to the global tech ecosystem. Our commitment extends beyond simply teaching programming languages—we aim to empower our students with the comprehensive skills, industry connections, and professional confidence needed to thrive in an increasingly competitive digital landscape.
The Philippines has emerged as a significant player in the worldwide technology sector, with back-end development representing one of the most sought-after skill sets among employers both locally and internationally. Our specialized focus on PHP, Node.js, and Python—the cornerstones of modern back-end systems—addresses this demand directly, preparing our graduates for immediate productivity in roles ranging from e-commerce platforms to financial technology applications.
What distinguishes our approach is our deep integration with the Philippine tech ecosystem. Our curriculum is continuously refined through ongoing dialogues with industry partners across Manila, Cebu, and emerging tech hubs throughout the archipelago. This ensures that our graduates are equipped not only with universal best practices but also with the specific knowledge required to address challenges unique to the local market.
The success of our model is reflected in our exceptional placement rate, with over 87% of our graduates securing relevant positions within three months of completing their courses. Many join established companies like Globe Telecom and SM's e-commerce initiatives, while others contribute to the burgeoning startup community that is transforming the Philippines into a regional innovation center.
Beyond technical education, we foster a vibrant community of lifelong learners. Our alumni network provides continuous support, mentorship, and professional development opportunities that extend well beyond graduation. This community-centered approach has created a powerful network of professionals who collaborate, share knowledge, and collectively elevate the standard of back-end development expertise across the Philippines.
As we look to the future, our vision remains focused on bridging the gap between world-class technical education and the specific needs of the Philippine market, ultimately positioning Filipino developers as globally competitive talents capable of driving innovation both at home and abroad.
