Question 1

Do I need a coding background to enroll?

Accepted Answer

No. Around 80% of Metana grads had zero tech background before joining, and the program is built from the ground up for exactly that starting point. Module 1, Engineering Foundations, spends four weeks on modern HTML and CSS, responsive layouts, and JavaScript and TypeScript essentials, alongside Git and GitHub workflows and code reviews — the absolute basics, taught properly rather than skipped over. From there you move through Frontend Engineering with React, Backend & APIs, and AI-Assisted Engineering, each building directly on the last, before a real client capstone project and a parallel JobCamp™ career sprint. The AI-assisted skillset (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and GitHub Copilot) sits on top of those fundamentals rather than replacing them — you're taught the JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and Node underneath first, since those are the skills AI tools amplify, not skills AI can substitute for entirely.

Question 2

What does the job guarantee actually cover?

Accepted Answer

You need to graduate the program, complete the JobCamp™ career sprint — the parallel four-week track covering 1:1 career coaching, mock interviews, a resume, LinkedIn, and GitHub rewrite, and salary negotiation and offer support — and apply consistently during your job search. If you meet those requirements and still don't have a software engineering offer paying $50K or more within 6 months of completing JobCamp™, Metana refunds 100% of your tuition, and the terms are written and legally binding rather than a marketing promise. On top of that, every pricing option — whether you pay the $7,500 upfront rate, split it into 4 payments of $1,950, or pay $1,650/month across 6 months — includes its own separate 14-day full refund window from enrollment, so you have an early, no-risk way to confirm the program is the right fit before the longer-term job guarantee even comes into play.

Question 3

How much time per week should I budget?

Accepted Answer

Plan for 20-25 hours a week across the 6-month program, structured around evenings and weekends rather than requiring you to quit a day job. That includes the weekly live sessions for whichever module you're in — 4 weeks of Engineering Foundations, 6 weeks of Frontend Engineering with React, 5 weeks of Backend & APIs, 4 weeks of AI-Assisted Engineering, and a 5-week Capstone & Client Project where you ship real, production-deployed work for a partner company — plus 1:1 mentor time that you book around your own schedule rather than a fixed slot. The JobCamp™ career sprint runs in parallel for the final 4 weeks, adding coaching and interview prep on top of the technical curriculum, so your weekly hours stay fairly consistent through the whole cohort rather than spiking only at the end.

Question 4

Is this a US-only program?

Accepted Answer

No — Metana is 100% remote, with cohorts drawing students from the US, EU, UK, and APAC rather than being tied to a single region or time zone. Because the program already runs on recorded live sessions plus on-demand 1:1 tutoring, it's built to accommodate students learning from different time zones without anyone missing core instruction. JobCamp™, the career-sprint portion of the program, specifically tailors its interview preparation and salary benchmarking to your local job market rather than defaulting to US-only assumptions, since a $70K starting salary or the interview process a US employer expects can look quite different from what's typical in the EU, UK, or APAC. Cohort #41, the currently enrolling cohort, reflects that same international mix, and an advisor can walk you through what the job market looks like specifically in your region before you enroll.

Question 5

What if I miss a week of class?

Accepted Answer

Every live session across all six modules — Engineering Foundations, Frontend Engineering with React, Backend & APIs, AI-Assisted Engineering, the Capstone & Client Project, and the JobCamp™ Career Sprint — is recorded, so missing a live block doesn't mean missing the material itself. Your learning coach helps you re-plan around real life rather than leaving you to catch up alone; if a work deadline or a personal emergency knocks you off the weekly 20-25 hour cadence for a stretch, that re-planning conversation is built into the program rather than something you have to request as an exception. You also have on-demand 1:1 tutoring available whenever you need to catch up on a specific concept, which matters most in modules like Backend & APIs or AI-Assisted Engineering where each week builds directly on skills from the week before.

Question 6

Is the AI portion just prompt-writing?

Accepted Answer

No — Module 4, AI-Assisted Engineering, is a full four weeks specifically because the goal is teaching you how senior engineers actually use AI in production, not how to write a clever prompt. That includes pair-programming with Cursor and Claude Code as real coding partners, using AI for debugging and refactors rather than just first-draft generation, building agentic features and LLM workflows from scratch, and — critically — reviewing AI-generated code for quality and security before it ships, since AI-written code still needs a human engineer who understands what it's actually doing. That reviewing skill is why the program teaches JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and Node as real fundamentals first, across the earlier modules, rather than starting with AI tools alone: you can't meaningfully review or debug AI-generated code you don't understand, which is exactly the gap this bootcamp is built to close.
