Course Design
The course is divided into two stages. A one-month pre-course where we teach the basics to make sure everyone is on the same level.

Both the Pre-course and the Full course has the focus on Frontend and particularly React.

The starting date for the pre-course is 24^th of October and the aim is that you, as a participant, will get a solid skill set and foundation before the course starts. During the pre-course, you will deliver your first project to confirm that you have the skills necessary to continue with the rest of the program.

Full course
The starting date for the full course is 21^st of November. It consists of 7 individual projects with set requirements and increasing complexity. You will have daily lectures and mentor meetings.
