Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you'd like to know about CookieSensei, the Programming and AI Program, Workshops, and how we learn together.
No. The Programming and AI Program is designed for beginners. We start with programming fundamentals before gradually introducing software development, data science, and Artificial Intelligence.
CookieSensei is designed for curious learners, including students, professionals, career changers, and creators, who want to learn by building real software rather than simply watching tutorials.
You don't need an advanced mathematics background to begin. We'll introduce the mathematical concepts required for programming and Artificial Intelligence gradually with practical examples.
CookieSensei combines live instructor-led sessions, browser-based Cloud Labs, structured learning phases, and practical projects. Instead of learning alone through videos, you'll learn by building with guidance along the way.
The curriculum is organized into progressive learning phases. Each phase builds on the previous one, helping you gain confidence before moving to more advanced topics.
Cloud Labs provide a complete programming environment directly in your browser. There's nothing to install or configure, so you can begin writing code from your first session.
No. Since you'll use browser-based Cloud Labs for most of the program, a reasonably modern laptop with a stable internet connection is usually sufficient.
Yes. Live sessions will be recorded so you can revisit concepts, review demonstrations, and learn at your own pace.
The exact amount depends on your pace and goals, but most learners should expect to spend several hours each week attending sessions, practicing, and building projects.
You'll build progressively more challenging projects-from Python applications to intelligent software powered by Artificial Intelligence. Every phase includes practical work that reinforces what you've learned.
Absolutely. Workshops are the best way to experience how CookieSensei teaches before deciding whether the full program is right for you.
The Programming and AI Program is designed to be completed over approximately 6-8 months, with flexibility to learn at your own pace.
Keeping the cohort intentionally small allows for meaningful interaction, personal guidance, and individual attention throughout the learning journey.
Rather than instant enrollment, we begin with a conversation. Tell us about yourself, your goals, and what you'd like to build. We'll personally reach out to answer your questions and discuss whether CookieSensei is the right fit.
Yes. We like to get to know prospective learners before enrollment. This conversation helps us understand your goals and ensures the program is a good fit for both you and the cohort.
The name reflects our belief that learning should feel approachable, enjoyable, and guided. A Sensei mentors learners through experience rather than simply delivering information and that's the philosophy behind CookieSensei.
