Context
Having the right skills can lead to immense growth in tech industry. Many tech
engineers attempt to build these skills via the vast, often free resources on the internet.
However, they soon realize that this whole process of searching for relevant free
resources not only wastes a lot of their time, but also most of these unstructured
articles and videos lead to incomplete and shallow learning. This results in the repeated
cycle of learning, interviewing and rejection which is very demoralizing. We are here to
solve this!
At Bosscoder, we have designed a highly structured curriculum for tech engineers to
learn problem-solving skills in DS and Algo, CS fundamentals and System Design (both
HLD and LLD) via projects. The curriculum is designed by the industry experts using a
top-bottom approach, by analyzing what it takes to get placed at top tech companies.
Through the course, students are made confident about their fundamentals and
delivered a hands-on learning experience to make them job-ready. We believe that all
our students should have the opportunity to work at top tech companies, and should
graduate with the same level of coding and knowledge irrespective of their background.
We ensure that all our students are learning at a comfortable pace and are learning
with peers that inspire them to work harder. The learning duration of the course is 31
weeks (~7 months). The curriculum revolves around problem-solving skills in DS and
Algo, CS Fundamental and System Design (a project based approach with HLD and
LLD).
