Getting Started

Each Lambda School start date is comprised of new sections (also called cohorts) beginning across different courses. The section/cohort a Learner is in will be titled with a course abbreviation and the current iteration (eg. WEB24).

Breaking Down the Curriculum

• Each course has a "core" Track of curriculum.

  • The core track = 4 Units

• Each Unit is made up of 4 Sprints.

  • In part-time courses, one Sprint is covered over the course of two weeks.
  • In full-time courses, one Sprint is covered over the course of one week.
  • In most courses, the fourth Sprint of every Unit will be a Build Sprint.

• Each Sprint is made up of 4 Modules and culminates with a Sprint Challenge.

  • Every Module is made up of Guided Projects and Project Time.
  • Each Sprint Challenge combines the objectives from every module so that Learners can demonstrate their mastery of those objectives.

  

Sprint 1-16 = Core Track

• Covers all of the content from the core track curriculum.
• Includes 4 Build Sprints during which learners apply the concepts they learned and assess mastery.

Sprint 17-20 = Computer Science

• Supporting content to make the Learner stronger and more hirable.
  • Web and Data science learners complete Computer Science.

Sprint 21-24 = Labs

• Participate in our in-house apprenticeship by building a real-world project in a small team
• The work includes customer discovery, feature and planning, and delivery. Most teams will contribute to an existing codebase adding new features, and fixing bugs.

Job Search Support
