The productivity of software engineers is not linear to their skills' level. As the competence level approaches mastery, the productivity becomes exponential. With Alcor Academy we found a structured way to improve the competence level of all our engineering teams.

You created a super-safe environment and an amazing learning experience with on-line mob programming live.
I can see why everybody falls in love with your training!

Alcor Academy's testimonial Kamilla Gregertsen

Before I went to the course I was skeptical of TDD. Now I realize that TDD simplify problem-solving and assists you in writing clean(er) code, easier to test.
