Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between projects and academies?
There are several key differences between our academies and single projects that we offer. To name the most relevant, it would be the following: - projects do not include mentor reviews of your code (peer review only) - projects do not offer any team experience (you work your project by yourself) - projects are not tied to any talent referral or job application (but grow your portfolio and skill set) - no free career and learning consultation.
As you might see, projects are simply speaking the ideal choice for you if you are on the look out for e.g. new experiences, skill growth, variety or portfolio extension. While academies are rather job-oriented and focused on professionalizing your skill set, providing you a real life work-environment experience and connecting you with the ideal employer to ease your career start.
Will I work alone or in a group?
For developer work and functions performed, IT relies on both: individual and group work. The entire program of nerds.family academies was created around the goal of letting our students experience both - independent work and the benefits of supportive teamwork. What you won't find is group assignments though.
Can I show the App I have built to someone else?
Of course! You will be able to make the application available online immediately after the first sprint. Please note that during an academy we do not learn the front-end, so it is solely up to you how your application will look like.
