📚 FAQs

Your questions, answered

Here are some of the questions we get a lot. If you have a question that’s not here, hit us up on support.

How much is the course?

It will depend on your local currency. Check out the page for the course you're interested in to get the most up-to-date pricing.

Will I get a certificate?

Yes, if you finish our course before the deadline, you will get a certificate. All deadlines are emailed to you and on our website - you will have 6 weeks to complete course tasks. If you complete everything on time, you will even get an "on time" badge on your premium certificate, which you can talk about in interviews to showcase your reliability to employers.

Are classes live? What's the course structure like?

Classes are not live - everything is flexible and can be done on your own time. However, there are deadlines you need to meet in order to earn your certificate.

There are 2 deadlines you must meet: portfolio submission and peer review (at the end of the 6 weeks).

Each module will unlock every few days. There is a 2-week buffer period in which you can catch up and submit your work before the deadline. You can expect a mixture of videos, images, and hands-on tasks in every module.
