1# COURSE DESCRIPTION

The course developed by the Digital Academy aims to overcome the lack of

digital skills in the national labor market. This is a critical gap, because Digital

Transformation is real and it has a huge impact on the global economy, business

and the labor market. We want to overtake this gap through an innovative

methodology developed by IAM. We offer an unique training experience, that

combines technical training and behavioral training.

Our model has short learning modules taught in b-learning basis. Digital

Academy believes that this model provides to the students a very engaging

experience and pragmatic knowledge. There is a certificate for each completed

module.

JavaScript lasts 9 weeks. Students should employ, on average, between 8 and

10 hours of their time, per week. These hours are distributed by technical training,

behavioral training and energizing activities. The workload is 85 hours, segmented

by 49 hours for technical training (58%), 18 hours for behavioral training (21%) and

18 hours to energize activities (21%). Regarding technical training, 24,5 hours are

dedicated to self-study (50%) and the remaining 24,5 hours corresponds to guide

study provided by an expert (50%).

The High energy and engagement activities are designed to increase students

commitment and motivation to take advantage of the course. Students will

participate in very dynamic and enthusiastic sessions. Coaching sessions are

scheduled at the beginning and end of the course to plan and evaluate,

respectively, the progress of each student. The GROW Model (objectives, reality,

options, will) is the chosen methodology to support the sessions. The coaching

sessions aim to promote self-awareness, to provide an in-depth understanding of

the knowledge acquired and its impact on working life, to explore the individual

potential, to encourage continuous learning, and to draw up an individual

development plan.
