The MIT xPRO Professional Certificate in Coding: Full-Time program is an immersive and fast-paced program designed to fast-track participants' coding careers. The program aims to meet the increasing demand for skilled full-stack developers in the digital age. It offers personalized feedback, live weekly office hours with course leaders, and the opportunity to develop a GitHub portfolio to showcase to potential employers.
The program highlights include earning a certificate and 48 Continuing Education Units (CEUs) from MIT xPRO, insights and coding demos from renowned MIT faculty, market-ready coding skills in a high-growth market, and support from industry practitioners and mentors.
The program is suitable for career launchers, early-stage professionals seeking to start a career in a high-growth field, and gain exposure to the full development lifecycle. It is also suitable for career switchers, mid- or late-career professionals looking to transition into software development from other fields such as marketing, sales, or operations. No prerequisites are required for this program, although a capacity for technical concepts is recommended.
The program is structured over four months and covers three main sections: web development, front-end development/React, and back-end development. Each section builds on the previous one, providing a comprehensive understanding of full-stack development or the option to specialize further.
In the web development section, participants will acquire foundational skills in JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. They will also create a personal portfolio on GitHub to showcase their progress and work.
The front-end development and React section focuses on front-end development using React, one of the most popular frameworks. Participants will learn to write clean and concise code using JavaScript ES6, work with web components in React, and gain skills in testing and deploying React applications.
The back-end development section covers the MERN stack, including MongoDB, ExpressJS, and NodeJS. Participants will become proficient in working with these technologies, as well as learning essential skills for working in the cloud, automated testing, and deployment, providing a solid foundation in DevOps.
By completing the program, participants will be equipped with market-ready coding skills and will have the opportunity to showcase their work through a GitHub portfolio. This program prepares participants to enter the job market as entry-level full-stack developers or specialize in specific areas of full-stack development.
