Pre-Work
To ensure learners with or without previous experience are best prepared on Day 1 of their course, many of Per Scholas curriculums require learners to complete Self-Study Pre-Work due to the fast-paced, rigorous nature of our bootcamp-style training.
Although Required Pre-Work is not due until later in the admissions process, it is highly recommended prospective learners begin Pre-Work early.
