After submitting the form, book a call with our Admission Team. We will provide you with further details about our courses and address any inquiries you may have. ## 🚩Welcome on board! ### Here are some frequently asked questions - I don’t have any coding experience. Can I still join? Absolutely yes! All you need is **motivation, curiosity, an open mind**, and **willingness to join our community**. In fact, most of our students _don’t_ have prior experience before starting their course. Our program starts with a **4-week precourse** for you to acquire all the basic knowledge you need. Throughout the course, you will gain knowledge and build up your confidence with our **hands-on approach**. - How does Coyotiv differ from other bootcamps? We repeatedly say that Coyotiv is not a bootcamp; it is the next generation, remote software engineering education designed to make you a first-class software engineer from scratch. To do that, we go way beyond a crash course, and teach you **the mentality of modern software engineering**, so you can be ready to learn the next technology whenever it comes out because you’ll understand the **_why_** behind the _what_, and the **_how_** will always fall into place. We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We see **software as a craft** and teach through **apprenticeship** to a master craftsperson. That way, you’ll build not only _working_ software, but also _well-crafted_ software. We don’t only have strong connections with the industry, **we are IN the center of the industry**! Coyotiv’s ecosystem consists of four pillars constantly feeding each other: Teaching, Mentorship, Collaboration, and Innovation. Coyotiv is already out there in the real world, thus we are providing our insights that are used **in-demand** in the industry today. - To complete Coyotiv School successfully, how many hours should I dedicate to it each day? In our **full-time course**, we expect the students to be in class every morning for 2-hour live lectures with our main instructor, plus work with our teaching assistants and their peers until the end of the day (approximately 8 hours of study). Our **self-paced course** has the same content as the full-time course, but you can decide your own schedule since it doesn’t include live lectures. However, it does have 24/7 code support from our teaching assistants. - Who teaches at Coyotiv? The course is designed and taught at length by Armagan Amcalar, a master craftsperson who entered the craft of programming over 20 years ago. Acting as a team lead, software architect, engineering manager, and CTO, Armagan has led hundreds of people in the industry and helped them grow their careers. As a public speaker and lecturer, he taught software to several hundred at universities and in the community. Now is the time he is transferring all of this hands-on industry experience to our students. You will also have seasoned teaching assistants, and peer learners by your side, whenever you need support. - What will you be covering in the course? We offer courses on software engineering, Vue.js, MongoDB, Node.js and Express.js, Docker, and Google Cloud. We teach **full-stack software engineering** with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS with modern frameworks such as Vue.js and Node.js. We start HTML and CSS on week 2, and Vue.js on week 8\. And you continue with the Frontend until the end of the course. Since it’s a full-stack software engineering course, you start building the Frontend of your software project on week 4 with server-side rendering in Express.js. For more details, please check out [our curriculum.](https://coyotiv.com/school/full-time/) - What is your teaching method? Coyotiv adopts a **master-to-apprentice method**. Just as the master artisans, master software developers have their styles and they will expand those styles into schools. They teach the path of development to their apprentices. Where experiencing and learning everything from scratch would take tens of years, finding a good master and being a hard-core apprentice takes only a few years. This model is so suitable for the software, we haven’t seen any other approach perform better. Our training is **project-based**, meaning you will be working on your own software project throughout the course. Unlike other courses that focus on building a project later in the program, you will start working on your project from day 1 **until you graduate**. You will be guided by seasoned **industry experts** who are also **experienced educators**, and you will have peer learners who have gone the same path as you did. ### **Got questions?
