"Freelancing is a rollercoaster. Sometimes it's thrilling to land new customers. And sometimes it's incredibly stressful trying to meet overlapping deadlines. I'd strongly encourage you to create a strong support network."

"The most effective way to hold your clients is to deliver your best services and meet your deadlines. Be honest with your client, if a job is going to take two weeks, be sure to tell them that so you can firstly stick to your deadline and deliver on time."

What our students say on...

Learning with Re:Coded

I learned new things about freelancing that I was not aware of, although I was already working as a freelancer. Continuous and effective communication by Re:Coded staff motivated us to continue and [they] supported us in any inquiries we had.

Any questions?

What are the Re:Coded short courses?

The Re:Coded short courses are self-paced short courses (20 hours in 3 weeks), designed to develop your soft, career, and foundational technical skills.

Why should I take this course?

Intro to Freelancing is for people who want to learn the top-level skills required to kickstart their career as a freelancer in the digital economy. Whether you currently have a skill you can monetize, or this path is something you have thought about, but are not ready for yet, you will still be able to take away tangible learnings to apply to your career in the present and future.

Is this course available to everyone?

Yes!! Well, almost that is! If you fit the criteria, admission is free and open.

Our vision is to make it possible for anyone, anywhere to join and thrive in the digital economy and our Inspire Series courses are available to a much wider audience than our immersive bootcamps.

There are still some selection criteria that apply such as youth between 18-34 living in the MENA region + Turkey. Some additional criteria might apply to each program, but look for those in the application form when you click to apply.

What happens after I have submitted an application?

Once you have submitted the application form, you will receive an email acknowledging we have received your application. Once the application deadline is due, we will begin the selection process and send you an email of acceptance shortly before the cohort begins. Admission is free and open to anyone who fits our selection criteria.

Will I join a class or study on my own?

You will do this course in your own time using our LMS (Learning Management System) as this course is self-paced and asynchronous. You won't be alone though. You will start your learning at the same time as everyone else who has been admitted, and you will get an opportunity to join our community and participate in a kick-off event where you will meet the other students.

Throughout the course, there will be live seminars with local or international experts, and you will be put through your paces with discussions, assignments, and quizzes.

Do I get a diploma/certificate at the end of the course?

Yes, you get a certificate of completion once you complete the course. You will receive this in PDF format and also instructions on how to embed your certificate into your LinkedIn profile.

Can I finish it in less than 3 weeks?

Well, it is possible to finish the course in less than 3 weeks. However, we highly recommend that you don't rush through the course and take the time to complete it with quality. We recommend that you try and utilize the entire 3 weeks, join the optional seminars, and engage with your classmates.

It’s not mandatory to join the online community events or seminars, however, they are filled with valuable information and allow you to hear from experts and engage with your classmates.

Is this really free?

Yes! Like every other program at Re:Coded we are kindly supported by our donors. In the application form, you will see who is supporting your specific course.
