The live online classes are recorded and can be accessed a day later in your online learning environment for review. However, we recommend attending the online class in person to have direct contact with your instructor.

Kick-off:
During the kick-off, we would like to get to know you, what is your background and what are your expectations. We will briefly explain our way of working. We will also provide guidance on how the online learning environment functions, and of course, you can ask any questions you may have. We will send you an e-mail beforehand with a link to plan a time and date for this intake.

Introduction to Data Engineering
The Introduction to Data Engineering course is self-study, which you can complete in your online learning environment. You can review recorded lectures and go through the sections at your own pace.

Final assignment:
You will conclude your course with a final assignment, followed by an end-of-course meeting to discuss your progress and receive feedback. You will receive an email toward the end of your course to schedule this meeting.

Study load:
The ‘classroom’ modules each take up 3 weeks of time. Each week (Tuesdays), you will attend a 2-hour online class. The online class will be in Dutch, unless there are non-Dutch speaking students participating, then we will switch to English. Our instructors are Dutch, so you can ask questions in Dutch if needed. In addition, you will find supplementary course materials and homework assignments in the online learning environment, which will require approximately 2-6 hours per week.

Additional information:
If you are ever unable to attend a session, please let us know in advance so that we can inform the instructor. You are always welcome to submit questions about course materials or homework to the instructor.
