An educational platform that helps students learn programming from scratch. Students can now master 35 professions in five departments: artificial intelligence, data analytics, programming, automated systems and business.
What the training looks like: it is usually long courses, six months each. Each course is broken down into several steps by level of difficulty.
At each step, the student receives a mini-diploma that confirms their skills. You can go through one step and stop or continue.
Each course has a theory unit and a practice unit. The theory is presented in text and video form. Each video has a transcription so you don’t have to watch the whole thing, but read it. After the theory, students complete tests.
In the practical part, students complete tasks and submit them for review. For example, a frontend developer builds pages from a layout, and developers point out errors in the code to him – it’s just like at work. Task deadlines motivate them to work on a regular basis.
Feedback: Checking assignments – code reviews. Developers check students’ work, give comments and point out mistakes. The student cannot move on until they have fixed all the mistakes. Support helps to sort out if a student is stumped and cannot solve the assignments.
Certificates: The course is divided into levels, each of which has a certificate associated with it.
Who is suitable: people who want to learn programming from scratch and get a job in a new profession. During the course, students get a lot of feedback on their assignments, learn how to deal with edits and criticism. This helps prepare them for the working environment.
Cost: to master the whole profession, you will have to spend about $3000. The fees are broken down by level of training. For example, entry level costs $600, intermediate level $1000 and professional level $1000.
