Reviews

I loved this course! Teaching a topic, then allowing you to practically practice that topic on challenges and projects is the perfect way to learn, and then you have hints when you get a little stuck.
I also loved the Solution button, so once you finished the task, you can take a look at other ways to potentially write your code. The first course in programming I've started and stuck with. Thank you!

This is the best programming course that I've ever taken! I've taken courses from Coursera and Udacity, and I'm pleased to say that the LearnProgramming Course is my absolute favorite! I really enjoyed the tests + Jad's teaching style.
I came away from this course with some major skills. I feel confident in my skills, because of all of the practice exercises. I'm excited to move on to LearnJavaScript next!

Frequently asked questions

Here are some of the most asked questions. If you have any other question, considercontacting support.

Course content

What's the difference between this course and LearnJavaScript.online?

While both courses use the JavaScript programming language, this course (Learn Programming) is meant for absolute beginners. It goes at a much slower pace than the Learn JavaScript course. It also excludes topics such as DOM, Fetch, etc.

In general, if you're not very comfortable with functions, iterations, and classes, then this course is recommended for you.

Please note that both courses are separate and require different PRO accounts.

Should I follow the LearnJavaScript.online course after?

It depends on your goal. Even if your end goal is to learn another programming language, you can take this course. The goal of this course is to teach you the fundamentals of programming.

If your goal is to work with JavaScript, you can follow the Learn JavaScript course. It's written in a way that is suitable for students who graduated the Learn Programming course. However, its pace is faster than this course when it comes to fundamentals as it assumes you already know them.

Is this a replacement for a coding bootcamp?

The course is not a replacement for traditional coding bootcamps where you learn full-stack development. However, it's a detailed programming course that teaches you the core concepts from the comfort of your computer and phone at your own pace.

Payment

Is it a one-time payment or subscription?

Yes, it is a one-time payment that gives you access for 5 years.
If you'd like to use the app after those 5 years, you will have to make a new payment. We will not automatically charge your card and there is no automatic renewal.
We believe that you should not have to pay monthly except for Gas, Water & Electricity (and maybe Netflix). This encourages you to take your time while working on the course, rather than rushing it. Note that the payment is only valid for this course.

What happens after my PRO account expires (after 5 years)?

The majority of students will not need to access their accounts past the 5 years mark. After 5 years, your account will be downgraded from PRO. You will have the option to upgrade again. There is no automatic renewal and your card will not be automatically charged.

Can I pay in a different currency?

Yes, you can! You can pay in your own currency so that you don't incur a cost for currency exchange. Contact support if your currency is not available in the dropdown above (subject to availability).
The exchange rates are refreshed on our backend as frequently as every 5 minutes. The latest exchange rate will be used. If you keep the page open for long, you may be seeing an amount based on an outdated exchange rate. You will have to reload the page to get the view the latest price in your currency.

How do you process my payment?

We use Stripe or Paypal to process your payments and your credit card information never touches our servers.

Can I use the account for more than one person?

No, every paid account is meant to be used by one person only. We perform manual and automated checks while guaranteeing privacy.
Your account is tied to your GitHub username.

Do I get access to other courses?

No, other courses on different domains have a different price and PRO membership.

Do you offer a discount for bundles (multiple courses)?

Yes, for courses you haven't purchased yet. You can bundle courses and get a discount. The first bundled course will give you a 10% discount. Every additional course will add a 5% discount.

The bundle discount cannot be combined with other discounts.

Can I gift the course?

Yes, this is possible. Please contact support for more information.

VAT

I am a company registered in the EU. Can I use reverse VAT charge?

Yes, you can! Please note that this has to be done before you pay for the course. You can enter your VAT number by clicking on the EU VAT Reverse Charge toggle. Please note that this is not available if your company is registered in the Netherlands.

How is VAT calculated?

VAT is finalized after you complete the payment because only then we will be able to know whether VAT should be collected or not. In both cases, the price will not change as the VAT is extracted from the amount you pay. You will be able to see whether VAT has been charged or not in your invoice.

Invoicing

Can I get an invoice?

You will automatically receive a (Business to Consumer) invoice after your payment by email. You will have the option to update this invoice with your (company) details within 30 days. Please note that if you require an EU VAT reverse charge invoice, then you should click on the EU VAT Reverse Charge toggle and enter your VAT number before making the purchase.

What are the company details?

The company is registered in the Netherlands. You can find the company details below:

Company name: Jad Joubran B.V.
Chamber of Commerce number: 82283095
VAT Number: NL862410228B01

PRO Account

Will I be able to jump to any chapter once I upgrade?

Not before you solve the previous chapters. The chapters are sequential because the topics build on top of each other. Even when you upgrade to PRO, you will have to go through them one by one. However, you have the option to jump to a specific chapter from the help menu by selecting Course Progress > skip to a chapter or ask support to unlock all chapters so you can freely move around.

Do I get a certificate of completion?

Yes, you can get a signed certificate of completion with your full name once you finish the entire course.

Can I extend my PRO account beyond 5 years?

Unfortunately not, the PRO account is linked to your purchase date and cannot be extended or modified as it's used for accounting purposes.

Where will I be after finishing this course?

You will have a good grasp of programming concepts which will allow you to dive deeper into JavaScript or learn other programming languages.

What are the Projects?

Projects are challenges that are longer and have a bit less guidance. These projects allow you to practice most of the concepts you learned so far and apply them in different contexts. The projects are meant to solve real-life scenarios. Because this is a beginner course, some of the code will be provided for you.

Companies & Universities

Can I get a group discount?

Group discounts are available for groups of 5, 10, 15, 20 and above. Please use the help center to contact us with the approximate size of your group.

I am a university instructor. Is this course suitable for my students?

Absolutely! The course is already being used in conjunction with university material at some universities. Please use the help center to contact us with the approximate number of students.
