Do I need to be proficient in English?
The whole curriculum (lecture, classes, material, etc) is in English so you will need to be comfortable enough to be able to follow it.
When do classes start?
June 19th, 2021: This cohort will be centered on the Pacific Time Zone. The live sessions will be held Saturdays from 9am - 3pm Pacific Time.
What is the program's structure?
In this 12-week program, you’ll spend 10-15 hours of time on your own watching pre-recorded videos, reviewing reading material, and completing assignments with support from your instructors via weekly office hours and Slack.
At the live session, you’ll review the concepts from the week with your instructor, and collaborate on projects with your peers. You should expect to spend a total of 15-20 hours per week on the program.
What is the FourthBrain application process?
It is a 3-step application process:
-
Online application outlining your professional background, technical proficiency, and - most importantly - your goals for the course (15-20 mins).
-
Online technical challenge, which assesses your skills in programming. We don’t expect all students to ace this; it’s intended to measure your current skill levels (1-2 hours).
-
Decision time! We may ask you for more information about your goals or technical proficiency to help decide if the program is a fit, or we may be able to make a decision right away.
