FAQs

  • How is the day by day schedule?

    caret

    Every course starts with a 60-70 mins introduction to a new topic, followed by 2 hours of guided exercises with the help of our teachers and teaching assistants. During Q&A sessions (on Mondays and 20 minutes before each course), you are totally free to connect and ask any questions on Python Programming, either on the course and exercises, or for your personal projects.

  • How is this course different from other self-paced online training?

    caret

    Most self-paced courses are a good place to start. They do not, however, go into the depth of problems early-stage programmers face in their day-to-day coding life nor do they get help when it really matters.That’s not the Constructor Academy philosophy. We’re here for you. Each and every learner gets the attention they deserve from our experienced staff of instructors and mentors.

  • How does Constructor Academy's curriculum differ from other schools?

    caret

    Constructor Academy has trained more than 1000+ Full-Stack Engineers and Data Scientists. This has provided the Constructor Academy team an in-depth understanding of what skills are most in-demand in the market and which parts of technology are of highest importance when working with data.

  • What coding level do I need?

    caret

    Creativity, logical thinking, and reasoning skills are most important. Having basic knowledge of a programming language, like Python, as well as a basic understanding of data analysis, machine learning, and NLP, is useful. If you're a complete tech novice, you'll receive introductory materials designed for a 7-day completion, which will ensure you’re ready to fully participate in the course.
