Proud Preface Grads
Feedbacks from happy learners inspire us everyday
As a startup founder without technical background, Preface's programming course gave me solid understanding & practical skills about coding, and enabled me to build an effective communication channel with my engineers. Preface is definitely the go-to upskill platform for anyone in the field.
Vincent So
Founder at Inspect Element
I used to think coding is the new & hip trend that only fits young people, but Preface has proven me wrong. The systematic & practical learning system helped me to get my hands on programming seamlessly, and to actually apply to work. How much I love Preface? I applied to both courses.
