Why it pays off?
Joining with the goal of growing from junior to mid-level developer, Janusz not only experienced the setup and interaction within the nerds.family as motivational and helpful but received much more than he ever expected! He discovered a new enthusiasm for programming, reached his growth goal, and finally landed a new job shortly after. As he sums it up, „For me it paid off!”

Outgrow your skills!
Mateusz was feeling stuck after completing other courses. He was on the lookout for ways to improve his skills in Ruby on Rails and was thrilled to find nerds.family. It was the perfect fit! He gave it a chance and the rest is history. Mateusz quickly improved his own code by working on his project and receiving support from the community and mentors. He then made a big career move to a „new, really cool job,” and now he's spreading the word among friends about how nerds.family can help you outgrow your skills too!

What is an academy?
An academy is a simulated work environment where participants gain programming and soft skills by working on real projects in a team. It's more than just an online course - it's a combination of learning and real-world work environment simulation.
Who is an academy for - is it for me?
The academy is for people familiar with computers who have basic programming experience or want to gain it. The academy is also beneficial for:
- Junior Developers working with other technologies and wanting to learn new ones.
- Junior Developers who know RoR and are looking for a job.
- Students serious about an IT career.
- Programming amateurs who want to prove their potential.
- People starting their adventure with IT and programming.
How much time does it take to complete one academy?
The average academy duration is 2-4 months with an estimated daily workload of 2 hours. The duration may vary depending on the academy and your efficiency and commitment.
Will I work independently or in a group?
The programmer's work is a combination of individual and team work. nerds.family academies are designed to experience both of these forms of work. However, there are no group assignments.
In what language are the academies conducted?
The language of communication in the IT work environment is primarily English. In diverse teams, English is often the only common language. Therefore, nerds.family academies are conducted in English. This applies to all materials, tasks and hints. The application interface is also available only in English..
Can I show someone the application I have built?
Of course! You will be able to share the application online right after the first sprint. Remember that during the academy, we don't learn front-end, so it's up to you what your application will look like.
What to expect from the academy experience?
The experience at the nerds.family academy is unique. The tasks are tailored to the individual needs, strengths and weaknesses of the participants to help them develop. During the academy, you build your own fully functional application - independently, but with the support of nerds.family at every step. Each decision you make about implementing a task and every line of code you write has a direct impact on what your next task will be. At the end of the academy, all participants will have the same application built, but their experiences and steps to get there will be unique.
