Common questions
Is this a fixed course, or is it built for me?
Built for you. The chapter list below is a typical outline. Your actual course is generated against your role, experience, and what you already know, then adapts as you go.
How long does it take?
Most learners finish in 2–6 weeks at a normal pace, depending on the topic. Octo compresses where you're strong and slows down where you're weak.
Is there a fixed schedule or cohort?
No. You start when you start. There's no live session, no calendar, no deadline.
Can I ask questions while I'm learning?
Yes, every module has an AI Sidekick in the margin. Ask for a different example, push back, or get a clarifying analogy without leaving the page.
What do I get at the end?
A verifiable, HMAC-signed certificate with a public verify page. It records the modules passed, scores, and capstone, not just attendance.
How much does it cost?
Octo is in research preview, courses are open. We'll be transparent before pricing changes.
