What is Mod 0?

Mod 0 is a prerequisite course for both of the programs at Turing. It is a structured series of 5 sessions which take place remotely during the evening, and ideally starts 6 weeks before you begin your full-time FEE or BEE course at Turing. These classes are not in person, and are conducted fully remotely via Zoom. Please check the calendar for session dates.

The goals of mod 0 are to:

  • Understand the systems and behaviors needed to be successful at Turing and as a software developer
  • Understand foundational technical concepts needed for Mod 1
  • Begin to break down social walls and build community in your future cohort
