When Learning Actually Fits Your Life
We run blockchain training programs throughout the year because people don't learn on a fixed schedule. Some need evenings after work. Others prefer weekend intensives. A few want to start right away, while many need a few months to prepare. Our 2025 calendar reflects how real people actually approach education.
How We Schedule Training Sessions
Our next comprehensive blockchain development course begins September 2025. We're keeping enrollment open through July because we've learned that good students need time. Time to arrange work schedules. Time to set aside funds. Time to mentally prepare for something demanding.
The autumn session runs twelve weeks with evening classes Tuesday and Thursday, 6:30 to 9:00 PM. We picked those times after surveying past students. Most work standard office hours in Ho Chi Minh City and needed something that didn't conflict with dinner or family time.
Weekend workshops happen monthly starting in late summer. These are single-topic deep dives - smart contract security in August, DeFi protocols in October, NFT development in November. You can take them standalone or as supplements to the full course.
I needed the evening schedule because my job doesn't allow flexibility. Tuesday and Thursday worked perfectly - I could handle two nights a week but not more. The instructors recorded everything too, so when I missed a session for a work emergency, I didn't fall behind.
The weekend workshops let me test blockchain development before committing to the full course. I took the smart contract security session in August 2024 and knew by the end of that Saturday that I wanted more. Enrolled in the September course and finished in December.
The Reality of Blockchain Training Schedules
After running programs since 2022, we've noticed patterns in how people actually learn this material. Here's what shapes our scheduling decisions.
Why Evening Classes Work Better Than We Expected
We initially offered daytime sessions thinking professionals could take time off. Almost nobody did. The evening format emerged from student requests and now has our highest completion rates. People arrive tired but focused. They've already handled their day jobs and can concentrate on learning something new.
The two-day gap between sessions matters more than we realized. Students need that Wednesday to review material and attempt practice problems. When we tried three consecutive days in early 2024, completion rates dropped significantly.
Seasonal Patterns We've Observed
September through November sees the most enrollments. People return from summer travel with renewed energy. January is surprisingly quiet - everyone's dealing with year-end work deadlines that spill into the new year. March and April pick up again as the year settles into routine.
We avoid scheduling major programs in December or around Tet. Seems obvious, but we learned this the hard way in 2023 when half our December cohort requested deferrals.
Weekend Workshops Fill a Different Need
These started as supplementary content for enrolled students but attracted a different audience. Working developers use them for specific skill upgrades without committing twelve weeks. Product managers attend to better understand their technical teams. A few curious people show up just to see if blockchain interests them.
Workshop topics change based on what's actually happening in the industry. We planned a session on blockchain gaming for February 2025 but pivoted to zero-knowledge proofs instead because that's what our network of developers kept asking about.
The Intensive Spring Format
This remains experimental. The March 2026 session will be our third attempt. First one in 2023 worked well - students loved the immersion. Second in 2024 had mixed results because people underestimated how demanding four full weeks would be. We're adjusting prerequisites and expectations based on what we learned.
What Doesn't Appear on Our Schedule
We don't offer self-paced online courses. We tried. The completion rate was terrible and students who did finish weren't as prepared as those from live instruction. Blockchain development involves too many small conceptual hurdles that are easier to address in person.
We also don't run accelerated weekend bootcamps promising job-ready skills in two days. That's not realistic for this material. Our shortest meaningful program is the four-week intensive, and even that assumes you're already comfortable with programming.
Planning Your Training Timeline
If you're considering our autumn 2025 program, now's actually a good time to start preparing. Review JavaScript fundamentals if you're rusty. Read about blockchain basics so you're not learning everything from scratch. Set aside the budget and time commitment.
The September start date isn't arbitrary. It gives you summer to prepare and ensures the twelve-week program finishes before December holidays. Students have consistently told us this timing works better than spring sessions that extend into summer when people want to travel.
Can't make September? The spring 2026 intensive might suit you if you can dedicate full-time attention for four weeks. Or wait for the autumn 2026 evening course if you need the slower pace. We'll run one or the other every six months as long as there's demand.
