Week-by-Week Foundation Program Syllabus
No local-setup wall: SQL, Python and Git run in the browser. AI drafts, you verify and own every line. Real curriculum, exactly as taught.

SQL for Decisions: From Raw Tables to Business Recommendations
Every module is built the same honest way — a guided lecture, a hands-on lab in a real in-browser sandbox, and an AI-twist that trains judgment. A server grader checks the result.
LectureGuided labAI-twist Verified proof
Lab — Build a SQL Decision Pack
- Write SQL that answers a specific business question with SELECT, WHERE, and ORDER BY
- Aggregate with GROUP BY, COUNT, SUM, and AVG, and know why non-aggregated columns must be grouped
- Reconnect tables with an INNER JOIN and find non-matches with a LEFT JOIN anti-join
- Recognise SQLite dialect (sqlite_master, strftime, datetime) and catch an AI answering in Postgres or MySQL

Prove it on real data, not a toy dataset.
Pick a graded, in-browser capstone on a genuine open dataset — clean it, aggregate it, and land one defensible insight. Or elevate a stronger project from Weeks 1–9.

What "pauses when you're hired" actually means
Enrol
Learn & job-hunt · 200 CAD/mo
Hire verified
Billing paused
You pay the flat 200 CAD/month while you learn and job-hunt. When you submit proof of a job and we verify it, we call Stripe and pause your subscription — automatically. Not an income-share agreement, not a lump sum. Plus a 15-day full refund if you change your mind before your cohort starts.
Objections, answered
Straight answers on proof, price & the pause-on-hire promise.
Every concern you have has been heard before. No spin — here's how proof, billing, and life after enrollment actually work.
No lock-in. You pay 200 CAD per month and can pause billing anytime by submitting verified employment proof. If you land a role before you finish the program, billing pauses immediately — you keep your content access for portfolio reference.
A job offer letter, employment contract, or LinkedIn profile update showing your new role. We verify within 24 hours and pause billing automatically. No drama, no approval queue.
