How Pricing Works

The price is set when the cohort closes. This keeps it proportional to actual demand and ensures every student pays the same amount.

The core curriculum is 18-28 months at ~18 hours/week (3 hrs/day, 6 days). This is not a bootcamp — it's a rigorous education designed to produce engineers, not just coders.

You keep everything you've earned. Certificates are issued at phase-level milestones, not just at the end. Your Compendium entries remain permanently verifiable.

None. The curriculum starts from mathematical foundations (Phase 0). It's designed for absolute beginners.

Any. Lectures are pre-recorded, so you watch on your own schedule. Live office hours are held at multiple weekend slots to cover different timezone bands.

It's phased in gradually. Phases 0–4 are completely AI-free so you build real understanding first. Phase 5 (Python) introduces AI critically mid-way through. Phase 6 (C) bans it again because you need to feel the segfaults yourself. From Phase 7 onward, AI becomes an increasingly powerful tool in your workflow — but by then, you actually understand what it's doing.

It's a cryptographic, hash-chained record of all your achievements in the program. Every time you complete a project, review a peer's code, or pass a milestone, an entry is permanently written to your Compendium. It acts as verifiable proof of your work.

Bootcamps teach you to use tools. This teaches you how the tools work. You'll understand why things behave the way they do, not just how to Google the error message. The difference shows up when AI generates 60% of the code and you need to actually evaluate the other 40%.
