Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know how to code already?
No. Start with the Foundations track or your field's first project. If you can follow instructions, you can begin.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Every lesson runs in your browser and is graded the moment your code works. No setup, ever.
Is it really free?
Yes. Every lesson, project, playground room, project assessment, and earned project credential is free with an account. No card required. Only optional Associate, Professional, and Expert certification exams are paid.
What languages will I write?
Real code in the language each field uses: Python, SQL, C, C++, Rust, Julia, Java, R, and more.
What is the difference between a certificate and a certification?
Project certificates are earned free by completing the relevant work and passing its assessment. Associate, Professional, and Expert certifications are optional graded exams for a whole discipline. Each is a one-time purchase per discipline: $49, $99, or $149. Both are cryptographically signed and verifiable at iwtlp.com/verify.
