Who weekend batches are actually for
Most of our weekend learners are two or three years into a job that is not going where they want it to. Accounts executives moving toward analytics. Support engineers moving toward development. Sales staff moving toward marketing analytics. The constraint is never motivation — it is that Tuesday evening belongs to someone else.
What we changed, and what we deliberately did not
The calendar is longer. That is the only difference, and it is intentional.
It would be easy to compress a weekday course into the same number of weekends by cutting the labs, and plenty of places do. It produces learners who have seen everything and practised nothing. So the weekend format keeps every lab and every project and simply takes more weeks — a four-month weekday course generally runs six to seven months on weekends.
The honest constraint
Six to ten hours a week outside class, consistently, for the length of the course. That is the number people underestimate, and it is the single strongest predictor of who finishes with a portfolio.
We would rather say this before you enrol than at the midpoint. If those hours are genuinely not available right now, a longer batch or a shorter course is a better decision than starting something you will not finish.
Weekend or online live?
They solve different problems. Weekend batches solve "I cannot attend on weekdays". Online live batches solve "I cannot travel to the centre". Both run the same syllabus with the same trainers, and several courses run both, so you can pick the combination that fits. If your constraint is both time and travel, say so when you enquire and we will tell you which batches currently work.
