The Fundamentals module takes place before the Full Stack course. This module introduces some basic programming concepts such as variables, loops and functions. We also learn the best ways to learn remotely. During this module we will observe you and how you manage the content. We are also interested in seeing how you work with the other students as a team.  

Unfortunately, not all students will progress to the Full Stack course. We will  assess you on how you work as a team, how committed you are and how you adapt to JavaScript which might be new to you. You can find the graduation criteria here.

You can read more about the Fundamentals on our syllabus pages
