How Our Courses Work
NerdLevels courses are a mix of video and in-person classes. They are designed to meet the needs of each individual student by adapting to his or her pace of learning.

Why Choose NerdLevels?

Student Engagement
Students own their projects from beginning to end. We help them outline designs for websites or video games based on their ideas. The rest of our course teaches them how to implement those designs.
