Format

Taught online. Instructor-led. 4 units. What's a unit?

A unit measures the time it takes to complete one of our instructor-led courses. Each unit normally requires about 4-6 hours of effort. We expect you'll do at most one unit per week. You may take more or less time to complete the course. Most of our courses are four units. We offer extended time if you need more time to complete the course.

CodeLesson courses are available to students 24 hours a day while the course is in session. That means you can participate in the course even if you have a busy daytime schedule or if you're located in a different time zone.

Courses are comprised of online and offline readings, weekly quizzes, online discussion topics, and hands-on coding exercises that are evaluated by the instructor. You can post questions about the coursework at any time and the instructor will provide guidance. You're never stuck on your own.
