Part - the smallest piece of the curriculum, a notebook requiring ~10 hours of study time. Usually, 5 Parts make up a Sprint. A Part can contain a Project requiring corrections or theoretical knowledge with some practical exercises and a quiz. To progress further in the program, either a quiz or a correction needs to be completed.
Project - a Part dedicated completely for practical work. A project aims to incorporate as many topics from the current and previous sprints as possible to allow practicing your skills. Most projects require 1 STL and 1 peer correction to be passed.
Sprint - a larger piece of the curriculum. A sprint always requires a correction to be passed.
Capstone project - a practical task at the end of a module that takes a whole sprint to complete. It allows to practice all of the skills learned throughout a module
Module - Largest piece of the curriculum, made up of Sprints. Some of the modules can be optional.
Specialization module - a module that a learner chooses from a pool of options depending on the roles and companies that they plan on applying to. The module covers the tools, skills and technologies needed for specific roles or companies. Most specialization modules are prepared in cooperation with our Hiring Partners.

Choosing a specialization module
You get to choose the optional modules after you complete the first 3 modules of the program. Some things to take into account when choosing are:
Which areas do I want to get better in?
Which companies and positions are you most interested in – are they looking for some specific skills that these modules offer?
