What are the start times and length of each session?
The CFGdegree will usually take place from 18:30-20:30PM GMT/BST - but it sometimes varies depending on regions. The classes take place from Monday - Thursday, and there is a short break in the middle of each session.
The CFGdegree takes place over the course of 16 weeks, with a reading break after the first 7-week stage. To view more specific CFGdegree dates please click here.
Expectations and commitment
We expect all students on the CFGdegree to achieve at least 80% attendance. While recordings are available for those times when it's really not feasible, you will still need to attend 80% of your classes to achieve a passing mark. Students also are required to attend all assessments and submit all assignments.
What platforms/software do I need?
All students will be sent a set-up guide prior to their course beginning detailing which software they will need to download. Optional installation sessions with our Tech Team are also available and we would definitely recommend booking a space if you are unsure! All course materials are free of charge and we will not ask for payment to use them. If you are having trouble downloading the software, please ensure that you are using the free/community version of each platform. Please also make sure that your device is up-to-date with the latest software and that you have permission to download software to the device.
I have a space on an upcoming MOOC/Coding Kickstarter - can I do both?
We would suggest keeping your MOOC/Coding Kickstarter place if your CFGdegree space has not been confirmed yet, as spaces are very competitive and not guaranteed. If you are successful in gaining a space, please reach out to our support team via the Contact Us form, and they can cancel your place on the class with no issue.
FYI: We will always email you from a @codefirstgirls.com email address. Please report and block any spam emails.
We normally email from cfgdegree@codefirstgirls.com unless you have reached the final stage of CFGdegree applications, you may be contacted from employee-specific email addresses.
If you are a current student on one of our courses, please refer to your class Slack channel to ask our Programmes team or your instructor for support. If you need help with general queries, you can contact our Community Support team via our contact form below! ⬇️
