Do I need any experience before I start?
No. Beginner courses start from zero. For React from Scratch you should be comfortable with basic JavaScript; we send a short prep pack after you enroll.
What if I miss a live session?
Every session is recorded and posted in your account the same evening. Your mentor review still happens that week.
Can I pay in installments?
Yes. Every course can be split into two or three monthly payments by card, bank transfer or cash at the office.
Do I need my own laptop?
Bring one if you can. We have a few classroom machines for students who need them; tell us when you enroll.
