Frequently Asked Questions
Do employers still require degrees in 2026?
Many do not. Organizations keep expanding skills-first hiring, which rewards proven ability. Portfolios, assessments, and clear communication are your main levers for entry.
What AI tools will I actually learn, and how are they used?
You will use AI to scaffold code, draft tests, summarize logs, and ideate UI variants. The key is human oversight: verify outputs with tests, metrics, or user feedback, and document what you accepted or changed.
Should I choose full-time or part-time?
Choose 12-week full-time if you can focus and want faster results. Choose 24-week part-time if you are working and need stability. CLA offers both across four tracks, with ~500 guided hours and live online delivery.
How does financing work at CLA?
You can combine installments, scholarships, or public funding depending on your location and eligibility. Map your monthly numbers in writing before you begin on Financing Options .
