  1. 1. How does the program work?

    The program is hands-on since the best way to learn to code is by writing it. We keep the lectures to a minimum; ninety percent of your day is spent building projects, with guidance and advice from us. Our model is “do-and-learn”, “ask-and-learn”.

    We make you learn by working on tasks exclusively designed for building concepts and knowledge. The workload is designed such that you gain 1-to-2 years equivalent experience in 3 months of InFI program.

    At the end of the program, we help you find a position as an entry-level application developer.

On the last day, we host an interview day to introduce you to tech companies looking to hire entry-level developers.

    You are no more a fresher, you must be confident and exhibit the level of knowledge you gained during the program. You can comfortably claim 1+ years of expertise.
