Questions

Is the same course the same for everyone?

The modules and what you are checked against are the same, so everyone learns the same skills. How each lesson is explained, and the examples it uses, change for you.

Do I need any experience?

No. Every course starts from the basics. If you already know some of it, an optional two-minute check lets you skip ahead.

How much does it cost?
