Our Methodology
Online Live Learning
- Join interactive live sessions run on Paris time (CET/CEST). You’ll learn with instructors and peers in real time—asking questions, practising together, and building momentum week by week.
Self Study
- Part-time: 9 hours live learning + ~11 hours self-study (20 hours per week)
- Full-time: 22.5 hours live learning + ~17.5 hours self-study (40 hours per week)
Flipped Classroom Method
- Learn efficiently with a flipped classroom approach: prepare with focused material, then use live sessions for discussion, practice, and feedback—so you actually apply what you learn.
Guided Practice
- Build confidence through guided exercises, hands-on labs, and portfolio projects. You’ll practise the workflows used in real teams—not just watch content.
