Full-Time Study Program
Congratulations on completing the three-month immersive program 🎉
You have just tackled the hardest part of InsideOut. By now, you should have a basic foundation in programming through the C projects that you completed during the immersive program and be ready to start the full-time study program at InsideOut. Get ready to take your skills to the next level and embark on a personalized, self-directed learning journey that is designed to bring out the best in you.
step 1: one-on-one session with our team
At the start of your full-time program, you’ll have a personalized consultation with our team to plan your projects for the next 1 to 1.5 years. This is your chance to discuss your interests, map out a tailored study plan, and set clear milestones. And remember, if your goals change along the way, that’s okay! Simply reach out to schedule another session to update your plan.
Need Inspiration?
If you’re unsure where to start with projects, don’t worry! You can begin by following our structured learning module which offers a variety of projects to help you build core skills. Once you find a project area you are interested in, you can leave the module and dive into your own unique project path.
step 2: dive into projects and achieve your milestones
Now it’s time to roll up your sleeves and start building. During your planning session, you’ll have set specific milestones. With each milestone you achieve, you’ll unlock new quests and challenges, helping you level up your skills. This stage is all about self-directed learning – you’ll need to look up resources, solve problems independently, and seek advice from peers when needed. You’ll also collaborate with larger teams, honing your ability to give and receive constructive feedback. Plus, you’ll have access to monthly workshops with industry experts for additional mentorship and insights.
step 3: planning your own path
As you complete your projects and prepare to graduate, we’ll provide you with resources and support to help you take your next step. Whether you aim to pursue a full-time coding job, launch your own startup, or explore other career paths, we’ll be there to guide you and ensure you’re set up for success.
What skills will you be learning in the full-time study program?
At InsideOut, our program is largely self-directed. The skills you develop will be shaped by the projects you choose. For example, one student might focus on building a web app using React, Node.js and TypeScript, while another might dive into object-oriented programming with C++. It’s all about exploring what excites you and you will learn different skills along your journey.
Throughout the program, you’ll develop a strong set of core skills, including both technical and soft skills, that will be valuable no matter which projects you choose. In addition to mastering the core technical skills, you’ll have the flexibility to explore different programming languages and concepts based on your project interests.

The immersive program, part of the admission process, is your chance to test out our self-directed, peer-to-peer learning model and see if it’s the right process. This isn’t a competition, and you won’t be graded on a standardized scale. Instead, you are encouraged to collaborate and work together with other applicants. We don’t have a fixed admission rate – if everyone succeeds, we take everyone in our study program. If you find this learning style is not for you, you can opt-out at any point.
