Learning Format

Taking into account the experience of previous streams, we have redesigned our course and built training in the blended learning format:

You receive theoretical lectures in video format. At the beginning of each week you will receive recordings of 2 classes. You can watch them at any time convenient for you. Along with the lectures, you will immediately receive homework assignments and a small comprehension test.

You can study the materials at your own pace and according to your background. If you are strong in some of the topics of the lectures, then you can watch the lecture at a higher speed or skip it altogether and immediately start solving the tasks.

Video recordings of the webinars will be sent to you the day after the session.

At the end of each week there will be additional live webinars with a teacher in the Question/Answer format lasting 4 hours

After each block of topics there will be a practical task where you will do test tasks to demonstrate the material you have learned.

In private time with your mentor, you can discuss specific issues that you encountered during your work, as well as receive feedback on completed tasks.

At the end of the course, there will be a seminar that will cover some additional topics related to the course topics. Subject to successful completion of all necessary work, you will be able to receive a certificate and a pleasant surprise from DevRockets academy
