In the Flex Program, you will learn what you need to launch your career while working around your existing schedule. That means you learn and build on your own time while accessing our staff through online chat and regular office hours. You meet with your mentor 1-on-1 each week along the way.
While the program is designed to be flexible, it is still a major commitment and you will be challenged. To be successful, you will need to commit at least 20 hours per week and seek support from your mentors, instructors and classmates. The program is designed to be completed in 12 months and then you receive an additional 6 months of career support after you graduate.
The program requires you to maintain a strong commitment to finishing. Students come from many backgrounds but everyone is able to make Viking a priority:
If you are already working or studying a full-time, you can likely make time to code during the evenings and on the weekends.
Typical: 20-30 hrs/wk
If you are working part-time to pay the bills but can't stop coding otherwise, you're in a great position to take on Flex!
Typical: 20-30 hrs/wk
If you have cleared your calendar in preparation for diving deep into Viking and can't wait to get started, the sky is the limit!
Typical: 40-60 hrs/wk
The key with a program of this difficulty and duration is to build a sustainable routine for coding. Remember that it's a marathon, not a sprint!
The curriculum is super informative in all topics and it is truly over 1000 hours in duration.
Because we cover more ground other programs, Viking is a significant commitment. The program is designed to be completed in 12 months and you receive a significant level of support at every step of the way:
