Take all the time you need.

We use the Google Classroom platform. In Classroom you will deliver the finished exercises and the teachers will receive them. We will also use them to send you files and corrections of the work.

The mentoring sessions are one-to-one video calls where the teachers will share feedback on your exercises and you can ask them anything you need.

There is no minimum term. If you dedicate many hours a day, you will obviously reduce the estimated deadlines.
