Based on inputs from previous contacts, here are answers to the most common questions that potential students or customers have.
At the moment we are focused into teaching OutSystems.
We have several programs, depending on your needs and skill level. It can range from 1 week to 3 months.
The price of each program can be checked on its details page..
Longer programs can be payed is installments with no extra fees.
There is a set of questions to assess if you are suitable to attend the course. If you do not pass, you will be given some advice on what to study in advance before you commit to this life changing event. Among the candidates, we may pick those than show more capacity or have more grit.
It starts with an application from the site. You take the test and will be advised to do one of the possible courses.
We have done classes with 5 to 15 people. The less people there are, the more expensive it gets to the students and less diverse is the class. But if the class is too big, the time devoted to each student may not be enough. The number will be somewhere between 10 and 20 students.
We require only two things from our instructors. One is that they have real hands-on experience. They are not full-time instructors, but professionals that dedicate some of their time to train others. The others is that they bring that real world experience to class.
You can see the trainers in detail on the trainers page, but expect all of them to be seasoned veterans with a great CV and not only a teacher, but a reference in the market.
Some programs are defined by external entities and we abide to the official content. In our custom made courses, we have a heavy hands-on approach so that our students can learn from experience and feel what is the day of a professional in the technology.
The instructor is open to hear questions from all students during class. There will be also online channels for the students to place questions 24/4 and get answers from their peers and from the academy professionals.
Each course says who should apply and what it can lead to.
We can guide you to have a good CV, either by training soft skills or new languages. And we can help you finding a job at our partner companies. That’s the advantage of working with professionals that have a great career and are acknowledged. They run companies and have big customers always looking for promising professionals so the placement in the market for the top students should be easy.
In IT the only equipment you need is a computer and internet connection. You may be asked to install some software but that’s it.
We are working on that. Companies can invest in the training of specific students, pay for tuition and hire them at the end.
There will be a minimum notice period before the start of the program to have a full refund. After that, if we can fill the spot, the refund is total. If not, the student will lose most of the money.
Most of the programs are online to reduce the cost and to allow the class to be more diverse. We can provide in-person courses at companies that can fill a full class with their employees.
By having as teachers great professionals that work and stay up-to-date in the latest technologies and processes.
The more you know, the easier it will be. Some knowledge like HTML, JavaScript, CSS and SQL are required by most employers.
There are prerequisites to join the course. The option is to hire individual tutoring sessions but that is not compatible with a normal paced class.
In terms of accessibility, online classes are ready for physical disabilities.
