As a developer with no previous experience in JavaScript, I didn’t feel underqualified or at a disadvantage at any point. We were given hands-on tasks corresponding to our level of expertise and divided into teams where everybody helped each other. To top it off, we often had guest-lecturers providing relevant work-related examples and advice. Something you won’t be able to find elsewhere.

Due to COVID-19, the program will be held online. While we transitioned the program online, we kept everything else unchanged: same high-quality training, engaging learning experience and 100% focus on practice.

Please note that attendance is key to our students’ successful graduation. Participants must attend all classes. Up to 3 days of absence are allowed, plus the program has 2 one-week vacations.

How much does the training cost and what are the payment methods?

The regular tuition fee for Telerik Academy Upskill React is BGN 3,250. If you apply by July 9, you will get a special price of BGN 3,000 or BGN 2,750 if you apply with a friend.

You must submit your Upskill React application and follow the requirements for candidate selection. If you are invited to join the program, your employer will be required to sign a contract with Telerik Academy and cover 10% of the regular tuition fee for the program.

Please note that the candidate selection process evaluates the candidate’s profile, not the NGO’s.

What does the online programming test include?

The test aims to assess your general knowledge across 2 domains – JavaScript and Web Development and consists of 12 closed-ended and 5 open-ended questions. It will be accessible after your complete your application. Once started, you’ll have 45 minutes to do the test.

What is the candidate selection process?

We use a holistic review process when evaluating applicants for admission. The final selection of candidates is not based on a simple formula of grades and test scores. Instead, we consider a variety of factors: application documents, online programming test results, personal motivation for applying, etc.

Some candidates might also be invited to attend an interview to additionally discuss their motivation and aspirations. Interviews will focus on candidates’ motivation and aspirations and will determine if the program is appropriate for each candidate based on their needs, expectations and experience.

What does “two-week trial period” mean?

If you drop out of the program within the trial period, which is in the first 2 weeks of the program, you won't pay any tuition.

What is the length and cadence of the program? Can I balance it with work or studies?

The length of the program is 3 months. To recharge your batteries, you’ll have 2 weeks of vacation. With classes 2 nights a week, this most complete hands-on React program makes it possible to also balance work or other responsibilities.

Does Telerik Academy help alumni find new jobs after successful graduation?
