About the Academy

OSKY Academy was founded to reimagine how aspiring software engineers gain job-ready skills, offering compact courses designed for maximum impact. Our roots trace back to OSKY’s founder, Ken Ong, a skilled UX Engineer with a passion for creating beautiful, functional designs infused with usability and programmatic excellence. This passion led Ken to establish OSKY Interactive, now a leading web development agency headquartered in Canberra, Australia.

Ken’s 20 years in the industry have seen OSKY grow to serve clients across Australia—including in Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Adelaide—as well as internationally in New Zealand, Switzerland and Kuala Lumpur. This diverse client base has influenced OSKY Academy’s commitment to teaching practical, industry-aligned skills that meet world-class standards, helping students to make an immediate impact.

For years, Ken observed that recent graduates often lacked the practical experience needed to dive straight into commercial projects, resulting in extended on-the-job training. To solve this industry-wide issue, OSKY Academy was launched to provide students with practical skills and real-world exposure—delivered in a straightforward, no-nonsense way that prepares them to succeed in the tech field.

Choose Your Path

OSKY Academy offers a series of focused, industry-relevant courses crafted to prepare aspiring software engineers for real-world challenges across three core development paths: Backend, Frontend, and DevOps.

Backend Development Path

This multi-day workshop dives deep into the essentials of backend engineering. Participants will gain hands-on experience with debugging techniques, database optimisation, and secure data handling. The course also explores API integration, authentication, file upload handling, and the fundamentals of building RESTful APIs. A solid foundation in Laravel is included to help students build robust, scalable backend systems.

Frontend Development Path

This immersive course series is tailored for those looking to master modern frontend technologies. It includes modules on debugging and performance optimisation, responsive design principles, and a crash course in Bootstrap and Tailwind. Students will also explore Vue.js and React, from component basics to advanced topics like state management and API integration. The course concludes with frontend testing and ensuring cross-browser compatibility.

DevOps and Deployment Path

Designed for developers ready to take ownership of the full software lifecycle, this course covers the foundations of Git and CI/CD workflows, containerisation using Docker, and monitoring and logging best practices. Participants will also learn about Webpack and build tools, deployment security, and cloud computing fundamentals using platforms like AWS and Azure.

These courses are particularly beneficial for university students, recent graduates, and aspiring software engineers eager to gain practical, hands-on experience and bridge the gap between academic learning and industry requirements.
