ProCourses

Learn tech by doing it

Four hands-on courses for security, DevOps, data and AI. Every lesson runs in a simulated terminal in your browser, so you can run the commands and complete the labs right from your phone.

How it works

Every lesson, the same four steps

  1. Learn It

    Skip giant walls of text and long-winded video courses. We teach in bite-size lessons, giving you time to truly absorb the information.

  2. Do It

    We believe the best way to learn something is to do it. You'll type the same commands used on the job and see the output for yourself.

  3. Check It

    Comprehension checks, quizzes after every lesson, flash cards and level exams burn the skills and concepts into your mind.

  4. Prove It

    Halfway through each level and at the end, you will complete a lab based on real-world events to put your new skills to work.

ProCourse Tracks

Choose your path

Each track starts with Linux fundamentals, where you learn to speak the language of the computers that power the web, then builds to the industry-standard tools used on the job. No prior experience required.

Questions

Before you start

It's possible. Each course teaches serious skills and concepts that senior professionals use every day. But breaking into tech usually takes more than one thing to impress a hiring manager. They look at five: skills, certs, projects, a degree and experience, and most people need about three of the five. You can build the skills, work on projects and study for respected certs all right here. Your dashboard includes a study planner and a Tutor that follow your progress across your courses and cert prep.
Very likely. If you're already in tech, knowing the tools and concepts taught here raises your skill level and gives you a stronger case for moving up in your company or into a new job. We still recommend pairing it with a cert to back up your new skills on paper.
Most people can finish a course in 1 to 3 months, or 2 to 4 months if you pair it with a cert using our study planner. Still, we encourage everyone to go at their own pace. Everyone has a busy life, which is why we built the platform around short, bite-size lessons, with a Tutor that helps keep you on track. So if you're not sure tech is for you but want to try it in your spare time as an investment in yourself, that works too.
These aren't called ProCourses for nothing. We're teaching you how the pros work, and to do that, being able to speak the language of the computers that power the web is essential. It might seem boring, but it's “wax on, wax off”. While your colleagues are asking AI for every command to type into a terminal, you'll be confidently breezing through servers like you grew up on the CLI.
A subscription doesn't work for everyone, so every course is also available to buy. You own it for life, with no recurring fee, but CertPrep+ comes with the subscription only. A subscription gets you all four ProCourses plus CertPrep+, which we strongly recommend pairing with your course.
