Sprints are 2-week programs with 4 sessions held on 2 weekdays each week, scheduled for after-work hours.

What if I miss a live session?

No problem! We record every live session with our trainers and speakers and make the recordings available for you to replay at your convenience.

Will I receive a certificate upon completion of a Sprint?

Sprints are 2-week, hands-on programs where industry leaders share practical, ready-to-use knowledge that's immediately applicable at work.
