What is Prework

Prework at 4Geeks:Your Head Start into Tech

Prework is the first step of every bootcamp. It combines self-paced study with live mentor support, so you're never on your own. You'll cover essential concepts, practice with our platforms, and build the habits that carry you through the program. By the time your bootcamp begins, you'll already feel comfortable with the pace, the tools, and the support system that sets 4Geeks apart.

How It Works

<li>Prework usually takes about 2 weeks, but you set the pace — some finish earlier, others may need a little longer. You do need to complete it before the bootcamp begins.</li> <li>Once you enroll, you'll have immediate access to prework materials and slack support channels so you can start right away.</li> <li>Attending Live Prework Classes (study halls) is mandatory. You'll work through exercises, share your screen, and get real-time help from a mentor.</li>
