Online learning for an international community; the official about page describes people learning together around the world. A compatible device and internet access are needed.

What is available

Self-paced coding lessons, projects and learning resources. The provider says its courses, projects and certifications are free.

Conditions worth checking

  • Free certification is conditional on meeting the chosen curriculum's requirements and passing applicable exams.
  • Current certifications differ from legacy versions: the JavaScript certification requires five certification projects and an exam using a desktop/laptop exam app.
  • Sign in with a free account to save progress. Completion does not guarantee employment or a university degree.

Before you rely on it

A useful next step is to try one small, low-risk task before committing your important files, study schedule or travel plans. Keep an alternative route in case access or availability changes. This is a research overview, not a firsthand product or visitor review.
