FAQs

At Emostel Academy, Course Onboarding is the process we use to ensure every participant is fully prepared to begin their learning journey. During the onboarding period, we provide guidance on how to navigate our platform, introduce the tools and resources needed for your course, and help you get comfortable with the learning environment. This is also when we address any questions about the course structure, expectations, and provide key tips for success.

Our goal is to equip you with everything you need to start your course confidently and maximize your learning experience.

We have pre-recorded sessions (released weekly) and are supported by live sessions (which are held twice a week).

Every live session is recorded and then posted to the learners' portal. This would be useful for anyone who missed the class to access them later. The recording also aids in further learning and revision.

Apart from the recorded and live sessions, we add our learners to communities based on their courses, allowing them to interact with course instructors, community moderators, and fellow learners, who are always available to help with any issues relating to the course. Learners may also directly contact their instructors via email and other communication channels provided.

For a more personalized experience, you may subscribe to our Private Training Services. This is however optional, it comes at an extra cost and is based on request.

Our extracurricular activities encompass a variety of training workshops aimed at providing students with an advantage beyond the standard course curriculum. Participants in these workshops will develop leadership abilities and essential soft skills, which are crucial for success in their immediate surroundings, including home, school environments, and social settings.

These workshops are typically scheduled for weekends, with dates distributed throughout the program's duration and announced according to schedule. Similar to regular live classroom sessions, these workshops are recorded for later reference and participants are allowed to interact freely with their peers and facilitators.

More advanced workshops are slated for our bootcamp.

While the course includes live classes twice a week, students have daily access to the learning portal and learners' community. Here, they can reach out to our readily available online tutors via email for support. Additionally, they can connect with tutors through the learners' community or use the designated spaces in the learning portal to post support requests.

Participant can also drop snapshots of their issues or questions into the community to allow our tutors or other learners render necessary help.

When learners help fellow learners, it serves as a practice or exercise which helps them understand and advance better in their learning. The problems resolved and the steps taken for resolution would also be useful to other learners in the community as well.

Access to the course will expire six months after release, but technical support for participants will be available for 12 months, and community access is lifetime.

This 12-month technical support applies solely to the chosen course. 

For further inquiries, please contact us via our helplines or at study@emoselacademy.org

Each course you enroll in will appear in your personal learner's portal and can be accessed via the "My Courses" tab on your dashboard.

At Emostel Academy, the main course of the s-Dev Program provides foundational knowledge and skills in your chosen field, whether it's Python Programming, Frontend Web Development, or Full Stack Development. These courses are delivered through a mix of pre-recorded lessons and live sessions, where participants gain in-depth theoretical understanding and hands-on practice over several weeks.

The bootcamp, on the other hand, is an intensive, post-course training designed to push participants beyond the basics. It focuses on advanced problem-solving, real-world projects, and industry-relevant challenges. While the main course builds your knowledge, the bootcamp is where you apply that knowledge under guidance, preparing you to handle complex, real-world scenarios in the tech industry. The bootcamp accelerates your skills, ensuring you're ready for the job market or further specialization.

An internship is a work-based experience where participants join a company or organization to apply their knowledge and skills in a professional setting. It emphasizes real-world tasks and projects, allowing participants to gain insight into industry workflows and workplace culture. While learning continues during an internship, the focus is primarily on applying knowledge in a real job setting, often with less structured mentorship compared to a classroom environment.

A bootcamp, on the other hand, is an intensive learning experience designed to rapidly advance participants' skills in a specific area. It is more structured and educational, focusing on advanced hands-on training, often with challenging projects meant to simulate real-world scenarios. In a bootcamp, the emphasis is on learning new skills or deepening existing ones, often through guided instruction, mentorship, and challenging projects designed for learning, not production. 

At Emostel Academy, we believe in rewarding excellence. Our internship slots are not just handed out—they are earned. Only top-performing participants who demonstrate exceptional dedication, skill, and passion throughout our programs will be considered for internships.

Our internship placements are designed to prepare you for the competitive job market, offering you the chance to work alongside industry professionals and build your portfolio.

The placements may be with external organizations (such as Banks, start-ups, etc.) or with our parent company ESDL (Emostel Skills and Development LTD.)

We do not guarantee entry-level job placements; however, participants who successfully complete the internship program will be considered for any job opportunities that arise. Only those who excel during the internship will be offered positions if such openings become available.

Participants who complete the Python Programming course will be awarded a certificate of achievement.

To earn this certificate, one must complete all course modules and tasks, and achieve a passing mark on quizzes. In addition, they must submit an end-of-course project that passes assessment and approval. The final requirement is that each participant complete the BootCamp and all functions involved.

The internship is not a mandatory requirement to get our certificate.
