JS / Front-end EN · The Rolling Scopes School

Training Program

The program consists of 3 stages. There may be requirements for advancing to each higher stage, which will be described below. This specific run of the program will take the form of self-study. This means that you will have access to pre-recorded webinars, recommended materials, and weekly live Q&A sessions with our mentors/coordinators to answer any questions you might have.

You will also have the ability to communicate with other students and help each other solve any problems you might face. We will provide you with a list of topics that should be covered for each stage with recommended deadlines, but you will have the freedom to choose when you want to watch the lectures and complete the tasks.

BE AWARE that practical tasks’ deadlines are not suggestions, and should be respected.

The course schedule is available - here, and the school documentation can be found - here.

Hanna Pratasevich

Software Engineering Team Leader @EPAM

Hello, I'm Anna - the course coordinator. Ten years ago, I graduated from Rolling Scopes School. Shortly thereafter, I returned to the school, but this time as a mentor and lecturer. However, that still felt insufficient, so I became a course coordinator. Today, I am a Team Lead at EPAM, working as a front-end developer. My heart is devoted to Angular, but I also respect other frameworks/libraries. I look forward to meeting each of you and hope to see you after graduation, perhaps as colleagues on projects!
