Frequently asked questions

Start with online tutorials, free resources, or beginner-friendly courses that cover JavaScript fundamentals, operators, loops, and DOM manipulation. Practice by building small web projects.

A comprehensive course that covers JavaScript basics, program flow, functions, and hands-on DOM manipulation is ideal for beginners. Look for courses with practical examples and projects.

JavaScript is both! It’s primarily used for front-end development with frameworks like React, but it can also handle backend tasks with environments like Node.js.

No, JavaScript is beginner-friendly. With consistent practice and hands-on projects, you can grasp the basics quickly, though mastering advanced concepts takes time.

You can learn JavaScript basics in 7 days by dedicating focused time to core concepts like variables, loops, and functions. Mastery and advanced skills require more practice.

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:

  • The course may not offer an audit option. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid.

  • The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.

You will be eligible for a full refund until two weeks after your payment date, or (for courses that have just launched) until two weeks after the first session of the course begins, whichever is later. You cannot receive a refund once you’ve earned a Course Certificate, even if you complete the course within the two-week refund period. See our full refund policyOpens in a new tab.

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
