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.

Plus, I worked on an exciting and very close-to-the-real-world project. Thus, gaining confidence to start using React right away! I’d totally recommend the program to anyone who is looking to upgrade their skill set.

    FAQ

    How much experience do I need to join the program?

    The program is perfect for developers who have at least 1+ years of experience in JavaScript (preferably), or any other programming language (C#, Java, Python, etc.), it is also perfect for Telerik Academy Alpha alumni.

    Whether you are a front-end or web developer who wants to upskill, or you are new to web development but have experience in programming, this program will equip you with an in-depth understanding of React and in-demand practical skills.

    Can I choose between online and onsite training?

    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. The special Telerik Academy alumni price is 2,950, and if you apply with a friend, you will get a discounted price of 2,750.

    The fee could be either covered by you or your employer. In both cases, the fee is paid via bank transfer prior to the program's start. Another tuition fee option is to pay in installments with a loan from a bank, partner of Telerik Academy. You can benefit from a deferred payment over a 12-24 months period.

    Do you offer discounts for the NGO (Not-for-profit) sector?

    Yes, if you are a candidate working in the NGO sector, you can apply for a 90% discount off the tuition fee (two per cohort).

    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?
    As this is an Upskill program, it isn’t geared towards connecting learners and businesses. But the skills and experience you gain will help you excel in your career or find a new job, just like it helped our alumni reach their career goals.
