What is the schedule and format for the Self-Paced Program?

There are three coursework track options available for Self-Paced Program students.

Each course and its accompanying project will take students 3-6 hours to complete. For each completed course, students will earn a certificate that can be posted on social media. Students should expect to spend 8-15 hours on a track. To be considered Self-Paced Program alumni and join the Girls Who Code Alumni Network, students need to complete at least one course and earn one certificate. However, we encourage students to complete as many courses as possible to earn as many certificates as they can in the allotted 6-week program duration.

The Self-Paced Program has a loose schedule since it is meant to complete at your own pace. However, we offer Student Hours at various times, happening twice a week. We highly encourage students to attend optional Student Hours and optional weekly Advisor & Partner Events when available.
