  • What happens if I am unable to complete all the modules in the 3 weeks period?

    You will not be able to attempt the final assessment at the due time, and that automatically disqualifies you from receiving an invitation to the Bootcamp.

  • Would I be given the internet to enable me complete the course?

    No, as the course is completely free and participants are expected to complete with their own resources.

  • Will I be able to interact with other participants on the course?

    Yes, there is a community on the LMS you are enrolled in where you can interact with other participants and discuss the courses and ask questions.
