185 Madison Ave, NYC
Centrally located in New York City, Practical Programming’s Midtown Manhattan campus features a spacious common area and bright, modern classrooms with state-of-the-art computers and projectors. We provide high-speed Internet, full-time IT support, and PC and Mac desktops loaded with the software you’ll need. If you require assistance during your class, our instructors and staff are available to help. Free coffee and food storage are available to help you stay powered up while you learn.
Practical Programming’s classes are taught by experts in their respective fields. This ensures that you learn in-demand and current skills needed in your career. You’ll learn from seasoned designers, developers, marketers, data scientists, and analysts. Most of them have their own freelancing or consulting practice which helps keep them current with the latest industry trends.
Practical Programming’s typical class ranges from 8–12 students, but we accept up to 20 students.
For all in-person classes, we provide computers with the software, so you can travel light. You can bring a pen and notebook to take notes if you'd like.
We will email you prior to the course if your course requires additional materials. For instance:
All our classes are taught with projects and exercises and are hands-on. There are instructor demos or lectures throughout the course, but students spend most of the time working on exercises and mini-projects with guidance from the instructor. This hands-on instructional method ensures that participants can apply their skills right after the course.
You have some options:
For day classes that run 10am to 5pm, there is a one-hour lunch break typically around 1pm. The exact break time may vary. There may also be some shorter (5-10 minute) breaks throughout the course depending on the session's pacing.
For evening classes, there are only short breaks.
For most classes, a complimentary book or training manual is provided (physical copy for in-person attendees, and eBook for remote attendees). See the individual course page for more details.
All times are listed in Eastern Time unless otherwise specified.
