Our Recommendation
Thanks for taking our quick assessment! We strongly recommend first obtaining your high school diploma or GED before beginning a LaunchCode program. Landing a job in tech is extremely difficult without one.
You're Ready for Foundational Concepts
For interested folks with no prior knowledge or experience of coding at all, our Discovery learning program is designed to introduce you to basic coding concepts, learning and study tips, and how to think like a programmer. This intro to the basics will help you decide if a career in coding is right for you.
