Sessions: Two sessions a week. It is important that you attend both sessions (80% of attendance and homework completion is required for graduation).

Hybrid: Depending on whether you are based in Hamburg, Berlin, or NRW, different on-site activities occur. In Hamburg, one session a month is on-site. In Berlin and NRW, you can join on-site community events. All other sessions are online via Zoom. 

Teachers: Your teachers are experts in the industry and volunteer to support your learning journey. 

Learning Style: At ReDI, we believe in hands-on learning through realistic projects. You’ll work on practical, guided projects that help you apply new skills. Our supportive teachers and peers will provide feedback to help you grow. However, the focus is on learning by doing and gaining confidence through your work. 

Active Work: Note this is NOT a passive, lecture-style environment. Each learner is expected to be self-driven and motivated to code and work hands-on each week on the project. ReDI to start coding? Then join us!

Tuesday: Every Tuesday from 19:00 to 21:00, you have an online coaching session in which you present your weekly milestone (part of your project) to a coach and receive guidance and support to complete it.

Thursday: Every Thursday from 19:00 to 21:00, you have an online input session during which the teachers introduce new concepts and will provide the homework for next Tuesday's session.

Friday - Monday: You work on your weekly project milestone. That means you will be coding hands-on by yourself. If you run into problems, you can contact your class on Slack. You complete the milestone before Tuesday to present it in the session. 

After finishing the JavaScript course, you’ll have the skills to create dynamic, interactive websites and work confidently with APIs.
