Format
How you follow the programme
There are two ways to take the Master. The syllabus, the hours and the credential are the same either way: what changes is how many people you do it with.
- Private
One-to-one with a dedicated tutor
The programme is yours alone: a tutor who follows you and nobody else, a schedule agreed around your commitments, and project work built on the job you actually do.
- Pace and times agreed together, not set by a classroom timetable
- Every session starts from your own cases, not from generic examples
- Code and project reviewed line by line
- Small group
A few people on the same programme
A handful of people working through the same syllabus together. Comparing notes with peers adds something, and the group stays small enough to leave room for everyone.
- People with different backgrounds discussing the same problems
- Guaranteed room for everyone's questions
- Project work still individual
Either way, access remains by selection: every request is reviewed individually. Tell us which format you prefer in your application, and we will talk it through at the interview.
The credential you receive
On completing the programme and defending your project work you receive a Certificate of Completion, with a permanent public verification page and a downloadable PDF. It is an Open Badge compliant with the 2.0 standard: not an image, but a credential anyone can verify automatically.
Open Badge 2.0
An open standard: readable by skill wallets and by LinkedIn.
Official PDF
A document generated from the database, with a unique credential code.
Impossible to fake
