It is particularly useful for individuals preparing for technical interviews, competitive programming, or those looking to improve their coding efficiency in real-world applications.

How long does it take to complete the course?

The course takes approximately 13 hours to complete, making it a manageable option for learners looking to improve their skills in a relatively short period.

Can I preview a course before enrolling?

Yes, you can preview the first video and view the syllabus before you enroll. You must purchase the course to access content not included in the preview.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?

If you decide to enroll in the course before the session start date, you will have access to all of the lecture videos and readings for the course. You’ll be able to submit assignments once the session starts.

What will I get when I enroll?

Once you enroll and your session begins, you will have access to all videos and other resources, including reading items and the course discussion forum. You’ll be able to view and submit practice assessments, and complete required graded assignments to earn a grade and a Course Certificate.

When will I receive my Course Certificate?

If you complete the course successfully, your electronic Course Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Course Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Why can’t I audit this course?

This course is currently available only to learners who have paid or received financial aid, when available.

Is financial aid available?

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
