You want to develop the speed and precision required to build and iterate on your projects quickly.

You feel overwhelmed by the wealth of information out there and need a clear, step-by-step guide to bring your ideas to life.

Frequently Asked Questions

So, you have questions? Let us try to answer those for you...

Will this help me build my own side projects?

Yes! Our curriculum is designed to cover every aspect of software development for side projects. We begin with the fundamentals and gradually introduce advanced concepts, ensuring you have the skills to bring your ideas to life. Many of our graduates have successfully built and launched impressive projects!

I've never studied Computer Science. Is AlgoCademy beginner friendly?

Beginners welcome! While we do assume a very basic general understanding of how computers store variables and loops, you don’t have to worry about anything else. You’ll learn the rest here—and in a way that's easier than you think!

Is all of the content available straight away or is it time-released (drip fed)?

No drip-feeding here! You get access to everything inside AlgoCademy right away. Jump in immediately and start making the most of our comprehensive training. We regularly update and add new material, so your library will keep growing along with your skills.

What languages do I need to know?

You do not need to know any specific language to benefit from our lessons. Our explanations focus on core concepts and pseudocode so that every developer, regardless of their preferred language, can follow along and learn.

Why should I start my side project journey today instead of waiting?

Every day you delay starting your side project journey, you're missing an opportunity to learn and innovate. Our platform provides the tools, support, and community to help you transform your ideas into reality. Take action now and join a community of passionate developers!

Is it really worth the money?

The average base salary of a software engineer is $110,464, according to Indeed, and the average total compensation for FAANG companies is over $250k, according to levels.fyi. The better you perform in your projects, the more desirable you become – giving you the power to create and innovate. Our investment in you is an investment in your future.

Do you offer refunds?

We don't offer refunds under any circumstance. You can try out our free coding tutorials before deciding to subscribe.

What happens if I decide to cancel my membership?

Obviously, we’d love it if all of our members stuck around forever. We’ve worked with students long enough to know that cancellations happen. If you decide to cancel, the process is straightforward — just a couple of clicks and you're done. We’ll miss you, but we hope you achieve great things!

If there's anything at all that you're not certain about, anything we haven't made clear, or if you have concerns or questions, please contact us at email address. We’re happy to help!
