Frequently Asked Questions
No, not at all! It is not necessary to have any knowledge in programming to join and succeed at WOJ EDUCATION. We will work with you to make you successful. What you need is a growth mindset, determination and a commitment to learning and improving yourself.
You must apply online at woj.education and input your information. Next, you will be contacted to confirm your registration details and receive the Orientation start dates and details. Orientation is mandatory and must be attended in-person.
There are three (3) specializations that can be chosen from: Software Engineering, AI/Machine Learning and Full-Stack Development.
There are no tests, no exams and no lectures. The programs are entirely project-based and give you hands-on experience working with real-life Silicon-Valley projects just like you would if you worked for a software company. This experience will be invaluable to your career development and resume building and it will allow you to gain employment at a top tier technology company.
Throughout the program, you will be supported by a Program Manager and a Program Technical Lead who will provide guidance as you work through the exercises and projects. Our Peer-to-Peer learning environment means you will always have someone to collaborate with (just like in the real-world) and our learners use Discord to reach out to others in the community for assistance and motivation. You are NOT left on your own to figure everything out by yourself which is very different from Massive Open Online Courses (M.O.O.C) and bootcamps.
You must attend the 2-day Orientation in-person in order to meet your Program Manager and go through all of the on-boarding processes so that you can have a complete understanding of the learner platform and all of the support mechanisms at your disposal. After Orientation, you will be able to work through the exercises and projects at a location of your choice, however you will still need to attend a variety of collaborative activities on a regular basis via Zoom video meetings. In addition, there will be certain days throughout the program that require you to be in-person and on-campus.
The first cohort (batch) will begin in January, 2024 in North India. If you are unable to begin in January then you can register for another cohort later in the year.
Yes, we offer both full-time programs and part-time programs.
Yes, our mission is to provide real-world software development experience to students so that they can join a technology company with work experience. If you have just graduated from a University or College but you feel like you still cannot compile code properly or you cannot complete real-world projects then our programs are a perfect fit for you.
WOJ EDUCATION has key partnerships with financial institutions who can provide financial solutions. Start learning right away and worry about payments later on once you have graduated and you have gained employment at a great job in a technology company.
We accept people aged 18 and up to join our program.
