About this course
Our premium flagship: build and deploy a complete production web application on the 2026 stack.
This is an 8-week specialist track - our most in-depth program, taking you to a professional, hireable standard. It runs online in the August 2026 cohort (starting 1 August 2026) and is taught the EchoLens way: you learn by doing real, gradeable work rather than just watching lectures.
What's included
- Live, instructor-led online sessions across 8 weeks (32 hours total).
- Hands-on coding quests you solve inside the EchoLens browser compiler - nothing to install.
- Gems, stages and a leaderboard that keep you moving instead of grade anxiety.
- A verified certificate with a scannable QR code, ready to share on LinkedIn, when you finish.
- The first week is open free so you can try the course before you pay.

Who it's for
Full-Stack JavaScript: React, Node & PostgreSQL suits learners at a intermediate to advanced level who want a practical, project-based route into Full-Stack JavaScript. You need only a browser and an internet connection - all coding runs inside the EchoLens compiler, so there is nothing to set up.
