For most beginner courses, no. We start from absolute zero — variables, syntax, problem-solving — and gradually build up to production-grade work. Advanced courses (AI/ML, Senior Cloud) require some programming background.
Courses combine live instruction (Zoom for online, classroom for onsite), weekly hands-on projects, peer-review code sessions, 1-on-1 mentorship, and a final capstone project. Single courses run 8–14 weeks, bootcamps 12–14 weeks full-time.
40+ courses across Software Development (Frontend, Backend, Mobile), Data & AI, UI/UX Design, Cybersecurity, Cloud & DevOps, Digital Marketing, and Product Management. See the full list.
