Learn to Code Series

Our programming curriculum picks up where the Web Technology left off escalating to more complex studies. It includes the strategy to developing great software and teaches the student how to think like a programmer. Students learn both theory and practical application with hands-on lessons and exercises.

Our Coding Curriculum navigates the learner through a series of courses where they learn how to solve real world problems . Upon successful completion of each course listed below, the student will have a new portfolio item to show prospective employers.

Our Core Coding Curriculum will give each student the confidence to competently interview and perform in the competitive job market. Alternatively, students completing this training may choose to build upon what they’ve learned by building a master project of their own.
