What are TechLadies Pre-Bootcamp Online Workshops like?

For a more conducive learning experience, we have a limited number of slots available to enable a better coach to participant ratio.

These are hands-on online workshops, with online break-out rooms where participants will work with our coaches to apply what they've been taught. Do ensure that you have access to a working laptop for the live coding segments of the workshops.

If you are unable to attend the workshop that you have enrolled for, a video link of the recording would be sent to you for learning at your own pace. Since the seats are limited, we will be unable to provide a refund.
