After going through all the lessons, I gained the necessary skills to perform well at my on-sites. I crushed even the DP problems, which were my biggest fear. And thanks to that I landed offers from Microsoft and Uber. Thank you AlgoCademy!

AlgoCademy really helped me improve my problem solving skills and write incredibly clean code. I was worried it wouldn’t be done in time for my coding interviews, but the way the curriculum is structured made me progress very quickly. Thanks for your work!

A FEW QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU START.

Frequently asked questions

So, you have questions? Let us try to answer those for you...
Ask the AlgoCademy team ↗

Will this help me retain programming concepts I don't use regularly?

Absolutely! Our platform is designed to tackle the natural forgetting curve. By using techniques like spaced repetition, interactive exercises, and a personalized learning path, you’ll effectively retain even those concepts you use infrequently.

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 all the concepts here in a straightforward manner – even if your prior experience is limited.

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 and start reinforcing your skills immediately. We also regularly update and add new material, so your content library will continue to grow alongside your knowledge.

What languages do I need to know?

You do not need to know any specific language to benefit from our lessons. Our explanations focus mostly on core concepts and pseudocode so that every coder, regardless of their preferred language, can grasp the material.

Why should I become a member today instead of waiting?

Every day you delay reinforces the forgetting of valuable coding concepts. By joining today, you're taking a proactive step towards building a robust memory bank that will benefit you for years to come.

Is it really worth the money?

Investing in your ability to retain important coding concepts pays off in improved skills and greater confidence. With a platform designed to reinforce your learning effectively, you'll be better equipped to excel in your programming career.

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 for long enough to know that it’s never going to happen. If we’ve done our job right, we should be saying goodbye to our students as they go off to start their new careers. If you decide to cancel, we’ll miss you, but we make the process easy. You can cancel with just a couple of clicks.
