Who this is for

Anyone who can use a computer and read English technical text. No prior coding. Module 1 starts at the terminal.

What it takes

Four sessions a week, ninety minutes each, plus six to eight hours of self-study. The self-study is not optional and we say so before you enrol.

What you leave with

Nine projects and a deployed capstone, all public and all defensible in an interview.
