One Month





One Month shows people how they can take positive steps towards radically changing their lives in a short amount of time. Through online education, we've reached over 15,000 students and taught them how to code. From 14 year-old high schoolers to 19 year-old college dropouts to 40 year-old factory workers, we've helped people all over the world realize that whether they have a computer science degree or people have told them their entire lives that they aren't "smart enough." We're currently expanding our curriculum into other skills such as growth hacking, mobile app development, and online payment processing. Our focus is on fun, motivation, and completion, and as a result boast one of the highest completion rates in all online education – around 25%. For the rest, we make it as personal as possible, with real people that reach out to you and help you when you have a problem.
