The classes are scheduled during after office hours on working days and on the weekends.
All classes are live sessions but are recorded and available on the student’s dashboard throughout the course duration for future reference. If a student misses out on a class, he/she can attend the session later at a convenient time.
Batch sizes are kept low to ensure personal focus on development of each candidate. However, we create new batches every month, if you are not selected in the current batch, you can apply again for the upcoming batch. Please keep checking the Geekster website or follow us on Facebook about the announcement of a new batch.
The program is designed to upskill people in latest tech and increase their earning potential. If you plan to pursue higher studies you can join the program to learn, but we would recommend joining with a prepaid payment plan.
