Our MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are split into two categories, our MOOC Sprints and MOOC Challenges. Our MOOC Sprints are a 1-hour session each week over four weeks and will give you a great taster of key tech topics – from UX/UI to bug fixing, languages to CVs and applications. After each session, you will need to complete a quick quiz on the topic.
These sessions are recorded and can be watched later, however, to get the most out of the sessions, we recommend attending live to take part in interactive tasks and engage with the instructors. Those that complete the MOOC Sprint inside the initial time frame (usually 6 weeks) will receive a certification. Our MOOC Challenges come after the Sprints and allow members to take part in a challenge – our mini ‘Hackathon’ to test their knowledge and skills. Both MOOC Sprints and Challenges are great for CFG members at any level – from beginner to more advanced.
Both our @uni Kickstarter and Coding Kickstarter classes run for 8-weeks, with one 2-hour session per week. These introduction classes are best for those wanting to kickstart their coding journey and will give you a solid introduction to Python and Apps, Web Development or Data and SQL. We also offer JavaScript classes, but we would recommend familiarising yourself with HTML and CSS first through our Web Dev classes. These sessions are live with instructors and certified and once completed, you will be eligible to apply for our CFGdegree programme.
