No prerequisites are needed for Hyperskill's Java Backend Developer courses. Beginners will start from scratch, while those with experience can further enhance their skills. All you need is a keen desire to learn and improve in Java programming.

We estimate that this program can be completed in about eight months. However, we understand that each learner's pace may vary. Most learners are expected to dedicate 5-10 hours per week to their studies. If you need more or less time to master the material, feel free to proceed at your own pace. To accommodate this, we’ve added an extra month to the program duration!

Yes, absolutely! This program already includes premium access to the platform. Please follow the proposed steps to switch your subscription.

This program is based on our existing content, but we’ve curated and structured it into a guided path designed to be the optimal way to start your career. You’ll also work on a chosen set of projects and topics alongside your teammates in a synchronized manner with mentor guidance. Additionally, we might be preparing some new content for Java developers, and you’ll be the first to experience it!

We completely understand your concern about the price increase. Bootcamps require additional resources due to their personalized, hands-on nature, which includes mentorship and support. Our career programs are no exception; they involve significant resources and human effort, with our team working diligently to redesign them for effective learning experiences. With more people involved, there's also more manual work to ensure quality.

While we’re introducing new features and activities exclusively for these career programs, our subscription plan is continuously improving with new features as well. But the pricing for the subscription remains stable because the process is well-optimized, allowing our core team to enhance the content without needing to adjust pricing.

The full list of program will be available for our participants closer to the start of studying. Please contact us at support@hyperskill.org to receive the program details!

You can request a full refund up until the end of the first week of studies. After that, a partial refund is available within the first two months. Please reach out to the organizer in Discord or email us at support@hyperskill.org for more details!

Coding can be challenging, and while we encourage self-paced learning and problem-solving skills, sometimes you might need a bit of extra help. Our mentor will regularly assist you and your fellow group members in overcoming difficulties, whether it’s finding an error in your project’s code or providing advice on complex topics. Additionally, our moderators and Java content team members will be ready to support you. You’ll stay connected through a dedicated Discord channel!

No, we won’t be holding webinars or live events. Our learners come from different parts of the world, so it’s challenging to find a time that works for everyone. Instead, we’ll use chat for asynchronous communication. However, feel free to connect with peers in the same time zones and team up!

Yes, upon successful completion of this program, you will receive a certificate from Hyperskill.
