Pre-Work
![learner studying](https://perscholas.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Copy-of-20170523-124935-_DSC0385-2-1500x1001.jpg)
To ensure learners are prepared with the skills, abilities, and opportunities for success in courses that do not require existing knowledge, Per Scholas expects learners to complete Pre-Work to be eligible for enrollment. This ensures learners with or without previous experience are best prepared on Day 1 of their course. To support your success, our instructional design team has also pulled together additional Optional Pre-Work for learners. This is not required for enrollment with Per Scholas but is highly recommended due to the fast-paced, rigorous nature of our bootcamp-style training.
Although Pre-Work is not due until Onboarding, prospective learners are encouraged to take the initiative and begin these Self-Study materials as soon as possible in the Admissions Process.
