Frequently asked questions

How long does the JavaScript e-learning course take and how long do I have access?
The complete JavaScript e-learning course requires around 32 hours of study time. You set your own pace and follow the lessons whenever it suits you. From the start date you have a year's access to all videos, lectures, quizzes and exercises, so you can review and repeat sections whenever you need to.
What prior knowledge do I need for the JavaScript e-learning?
For the JavaScript e-learning course you need experience with HTML and basic knowledge of CSS. JavaScript builds on these two techniques and adds interaction to your website. Can you build a simple HTML page yourself and do you know how CSS selectors work? Then you have enough of a foundation to get started with this English-language e-learning course.
What will you learn in the JavaScript e-learning course?
In the JavaScript e-learning you learn the basics of JavaScript, the syntax and working with objects, methods and properties. You write your own functions and flow control logic, listen for events such as mouse clicks, and adjust HTML and CSS directly with JavaScript. You also learn to trace and prevent JavaScript errors, so that you can build dynamic and interactive websites.
Is the JavaScript e-learning course in Dutch or English?
The JavaScript e-learning course is offered in English. All videos, lectures, quizzes and exercises are in English. A basic understanding of English is therefore useful in order to follow the explanations properly. The course content itself, such as JavaScript syntax, functions and code examples, is universal and internationally applicable in any web development environment.
Do I receive a certificate after completing the JavaScript e-learning course?
Yes, after successfully completing the JavaScript e-learning course you receive a certificate of participation. This certificate shows that you have mastered the basic functions of JavaScript, such as syntax, objects, methods, custom functions and resolving JavaScript errors. You can add it to your CV or LinkedIn profile to demonstrate your skills as a website builder to employers or clients.
Who is the JavaScript e-learning course suitable for?
The JavaScript e-learning course is suitable for (aspiring) web developers, front-end designers and website builders who want to make their HTML and CSS websites more interactive. You will benefit from the course if you already have experience with HTML and know the basics of CSS. Hobby website builders and marketers who want to add dynamic elements to their site themselves will also get a great deal out of it.
When should you choose this JavaScript e-learning course instead of self-study via free online sources?
This e-learning course is worth considering if you want to learn in a structured way and are looking for a proven learning path. Free sources such as YouTube or MDN offer plenty of separate information, but you have to determine the right order and depth yourself. The course takes around 32 hours and covers, in sequence, syntax, variables, objects, functions, flow control logic, event handling and adjusting HTML and CSS. You get videos, lectures, quizzes and exercises, with a year's access from the start. Please note that the course is in English. Choose self-study if you already have programming experience and want to look up specific sections. Choose this e-learning course if you are new to JavaScript, already know HTML and CSS, and want to build a complete foundation at your own pace.
What is the difference between this JavaScript e-learning course and a classroom JavaScript course?
You follow Learnit's JavaScript e-learning course at your own pace, at a time that suits you. You get a year's access to all videos, lectures, quizzes and exercises, and the total study load is around 32 hours. A classroom course usually takes two consecutive days and is led by a trainer who answers questions on the spot. The e-learning course is in English, the classroom version in Dutch. Choose the e-learning course if you want to plan flexibly, find repetition valuable and are able to work through the material independently. Choose the classroom course if you want to spar directly with a trainer or want to cover the material in a short time. The content (syntax, objects, events, modifying HTML and CSS with JavaScript) is comparable in both formats.
How does this JavaScript e-learning course compare with a framework course such as React or Vue?
This e-learning course focuses on vanilla JavaScript: the language itself, the syntax, objects, methods, properties, variables and flow control logic. Frameworks such as React, Vue or Angular build on top of that. Without a solid grounding in JavaScript you will quickly get stuck in a framework course on concepts such as functions, events and DOM manipulation. This course covers exactly that foundation, plus how to modify HTML and CSS directly and handle events such as mouse clicks. That is the groundwork you need before a framework starts to make sense. The total study load is around 32 hours, and you have access for a year. Choose this course if you do not yet know JavaScript and want to move on to a framework later. If you already know the basics, framework-specific training is a more logical next step.
How do I know whether this JavaScript e-learning course has prepared me for a role as a front-end developer?
This e-learning course lays the foundations of JavaScript and is not a complete front-end developer programme. After approximately 32 hours of study you will have mastered the syntax, variables, objects, custom functions, flow control logic, event handling and modifying HTML and CSS via JavaScript. That is enough to add interactive elements to websites you build yourself with HTML and CSS. For a junior front-end role you usually need additional knowledge: a modern framework (React, Vue or Angular), version control with Git, package managers and build tools, plus experience with APIs and asynchronous JavaScript. So regard this course as a foundation. Once you have mastered the material, you can move on to framework courses and practical projects in a targeted way. Without those follow-up steps you will be a more capable website builder, but not yet employable as a front-end developer.
After this JavaScript e-learning course, will I be able to fix bugs in existing code on my own, or do I need more experience for that?
In this e-learning course you explicitly learn how to resolve and prevent JavaScript errors. This means that on completion you will be familiar with syntax, variables, objects, methods and flow control logic, enabling you to recognise and correct common errors in simple to medium-sized scripts. For complex bugs in large codebases, asynchronous code or frameworks such as React, you will need additional experience. The course focuses on the basics of vanilla JavaScript, not on debugging modern tooling or build processes. Practical tip: combine the course with your own practice projects, because debugging skill grows above all by writing and breaking code yourself. You retain a year's access to all videos and exercises so you can look up concepts when you get stuck in practice.
How many hours a week do I need to set aside to complete the JavaScript e-learning course at a reasonable pace?
The JavaScript e-learning takes around 32 hours in total, made up of videos, lectures, quizzes and exercises. You set your own pace, as you have access for a year from the start date. A few realistic scenarios: at 4 hours a week you will be finished in about 8 weeks; at 2 hours a week it takes some 4 months. If you want to do it alongside a full-time job, 2 to 3 hours a week usually works well, because it gives you time in between to apply the material in your own code. Allow for extra practice hours on top of the 32 study hours if you want to put what you have learnt into practice. You can review topics you find difficult as often as you like within your year of access.
