Facts about the education
Practical Information About the Programming education
What is the duration of the education
The duration of the education depends on how you choose to study. At Nordic Online Academy, you have full flexibility – you can study whenever and wherever it suits you, at your own pace. This means you have significant influence over how long it takes to complete the education.
If you want a deep and solid understanding of the fundamental principles of programming, we recommend taking the time to immerse yourself in the lessons and reflect on the topics you’re learning. This reflection is important, as it prepares you for the challenges you’ll face as a developer and helps you build a stronger professional foundation.
We therefore recommend that you contact our student guidance team for personal support and help in planning your educational journey.
What is the format of the education?
The program format is 100% digital. This means that after enrolling, you will receive your welcome letter along with your personal login to the course on our user-friendly learning platform. The platform is structured into modules, which you complete one at a time at your own pace.
Remember, you are never alone in your studies. Our student support team is ready to assist you—whether your questions are technical, practical, or academic. You can easily reach us via chat, email, or phone before, during, and after your course.
Is there a final exam?
No, at Nordic Online Academy we have chosen not to end our programs with a traditional exam. Instead, we use continuous evaluation through multiple-choice tests after each module.
These tests are designed to reinforce your learning along the way and give you the opportunity to reflect on the content as you progress through the course. The tests are not just a form of assessment – they are a tool to ensure that you understand and can apply what you’ve learned. This allows you to move at your own pace and gain a deeper benefit from the education.
Once you have completed and passed all modules, you will receive your certificate, which documents your newly acquired skills.
Do I get a certificate?
“Yes, once you have completed the Basic Programming course, you will receive your personal certificate. The certificate serves as proof of the skills and knowledge you have acquired.
You can use the certificate, for example, as part of your job search or as documentation of your expertise and competencies.
Whom does the education apply to?
The program is aimed at individuals who have an interest in IT and programming and wish to learn how to code.
It is also suitable for those who want to determine whether programming is the field they should build their future career in.
What job possibilities do I have when i finish the education?
After completing the program, you will have gained all the fundamental skills in programming – and you will be able to code, without a doubt.
With your new competencies, you may choose to apply them in your current job or take on smaller freelance programming tasks for clients.
If you wish to work professionally and full-time with programming, further specialization is typically required.
The Basic Programming course provides you with a strong foundation, as the core principles remain the same regardless of the direction you choose to pursue next—whether it’s in app development, websites, servers, artificial intelligence, or similar fields. In our Advanced Programming program, we place a strong emphasis on this kind of specialization and on preparing students to work independently as full-time professional programmers.
How long do I have access to the educational material?
When you enroll in the Basic Programming course, you will initially have access to the learning materials for a full 2 years. This period ensures that you have plenty of time to study at your own pace, and you can easily return to the material whenever you need it. Whether you want to refresh your knowledge or dive deeper into specific topics, you have the flexibility and time to do so.
In addition, you’ll have the option to download the written course materials, allowing you to use them during the education and even after it ends—giving you long-term value.
If it turns out during your studies that you need extra time, don’t worry – in such cases, we can extend your access for a limited period at no additional cost.
What kind of help can I get during the education?
Throughout the program, you can expect comprehensive support from our student guidance team—before, during, and after your studies.

What payment options do you have?
At Nordic Online Academy, you can choose to pay for your course either as a one-time payment or through installment plans with Klarna or ViaBill.
Klarna:
Split the payment into three interest-free installments or pay in full after 30 days. Klarna can be selected as a payment option during the enrollment process.
ViaBill:
Split the payment into 4 to 24 installments. The service is interest-free, but a monthly fee (DKK 149–249) applies. At enrollment, the default setup is a 24-month plan, but you can change this in “My ViaBill” after your purchase.
When using Klarna or ViaBill, a credit check is performed based on your card details during the enrollment process.
You can also ask your employer about a gross salary scheme, where the course is paid through your gross salary over a period of time. It doesn’t cost your employer anything, and since the payment is made before tax, it can reduce the actual cost by up to half. You can read more about the gross salary scheme here.
What language is the education?
The coding language we use is English, all the instruction in our programming course is in english and presented in a down-to-earth manner. The programming course is based on JavaScript as the primary coding language. Our focus is on making programming easy to understand.
As mentioned, our programming course is for anyone with an initial interest in the subject. The rest will be provided—and developed—throughout the course. The education is also available in danish.
Det siger vores studerende
Erfaringer fra grundlæggende programmør uddannelsen
Jeg synes det har været en rigtig god oplevelse at prøve kræfter med at programmere i JavaScript og også stylingssprogene HTML og CSS. Jeg oplevede en god balance mellem at være udfordret uden at miste motivationen, hvor Jacob formår at forklare koncepterne i et sprog som er til at forstå for en person som mig, der aldrig har rørt programmering før. Samtidig vil jeg fremhæve at uddannelsen indeholder et sjovt afsluttende projekt, som gør det nemt at forstå hvordan software hænger sammen.
Helena, Aalborg – Grundlæggende programmering
Synes det har været en rigtig god udd. Nem at følge med og gode forklaringer og øvelser undervejs. Det er en kæmpe fordel i min situation, at jeg kan lære når tiden er til det, stoppe når jeg har brug for pause og genoptage når det passer ind igen.
Danny, Uldum – Grundlæggende programmering
På uddannelsen oplevede jeg en super kompetent underviser, der formår at lære fra sig på en måde, der gør et kompliceret emne til noget alle kan være med på. Derudover er det super fedt, at man selv styrer tempoet på uddannelsen. På den måde er der ingen stress, og jeg kunne genbesøge et emne igen, hvis jeg ikke fangede det første gang. Jeg kunne godt være lidt bekymret for niveauet på en online uddannelse, men den bekymring blev virkelig gjort til skamme. På trods af, at der er tale om et tungt emne, står man efter uddannelsen med en masse ny læring, der let kan overføres til arbejde i praksis. Tak.
