Frequently Asked Questions:

Question: Where are the lessons?

Lessons can either be at your house if you are in West Little Rock, North Little Rock, Jacksonville, or Cabot. If needed lessons can be held at my house in Cabot.

Question: Besides cost of training are there any additional costs?

No. The software you will be using have free versions for training.

Question: What is the cost of the training and what does it cover?

Each lesson is $55. Running a special until the end of June, sign up for two sessions back to back and get each for $40. The tutoring session will get you up to speed much faster than if you tried it on your own, and at a fraction of the price of boot camps that cost over $9000.

Question: Do I need a computer?

Yes. You need a lap top or a desktop. Preferably Windows 7 or above operating system. The newer the computer the better because of some of the applications.

Question: How will I make payments?

Once we agree on a day / time for the training, I can either send you an invoice that you can pay online, or you can pay me by check when I come for the training.

Question: Do I need a college degree to get a job as a developer?

No. Although it helps and broadens your opportunities and starting pay, it is not a requirement at all companies.

Question: Can anyone learn to program computers?

No. In my experience most people can learn but there are some that cannot learn. After four or five training sessions you should have a good feel whether this is going to work for you

Question: Why not just sign up for all the free tutorials out there?

Tutorials are great to get started. But just like any occupation, they will not teach you enough to be productive at an actual job. My training will teach you everything you need to know to be productive at a job on day one.

Question: What is a good age to take the training?

As long as the student can handle basic algebra they should be able to understand the training. And since the training will be at your pace, go as fast or slow as you need to learn the various subjects

Question: Does the training only cover programming?

No. Although the focus over the sessions will be how to become a developer there will be lots of sessions that cover other topics that all developers need to know to do their job.

Question: What kind of guarantee that I will be able to learn to program?

Although I cannot give a guarantee, just like a college or any training does not, what I will do is give you an honest assessment after four or five training sessions to determine if we both agree on moving on. Much better than getting into debt with college and then finding out that you cannot get a job or dropping out after two years and being in debt.

Question: What hours are you available for training?

I am working a full-time job as a programmer, so my time is very limited. My time slots available are Tuesday and Thursday after I get off work. So four time slots are available until they are filled.

Question: How many lessons will it take to be ready to get my first job as a programmer?

Unfortunately there is no way for me to answer this correctly. It depends on how quickly you advance through the main subject areas and grasp the concepts.
