FAQ
How much time will this take
If this is a paid apprenticeship, we expect you to be available at least 30 hours a week to ensure our customer has regular updates and communication. If you are working on your own project, it's up to you. But you should put in 20 hours a week at least to get the most out of this.
Can I use this to get consulting for internal projects at my company?
Yes, you absolutely can! We will sign appropriate NDAs if necessary. Keep in mind, the student-instructor meeting structure won't change
Can I join this if I haven't completed the core solidity bootcamp?
You will need a very exceptional application to join, and you will need to score 50% or higher on our solidity test. RareSkills students from the Solidity bootcamp will get priority
Pricing
$1568 to $1,600 per month depending on payment method used. If this is a paid apprenticeship, then the customer will pay RareSkills and the student will receive 80- 90% of the income from the customer.
However, the point of this program is to build up your CV for competitive blockchain jobs, not to make money. Students are encouraged to focus on projects that will maximize their visibility, not short term earnings
