How labs are graded

Most certificates prove you watched the videos. Ours prove your code runs.

The pass rule

Every lab is auto-graded on running code: it passes only when both companion scripts exit cleanly on your solution — not quizzes, not completion.

That's the whole bar: not a multiple-choice quiz, not a “mark complete” button — your code has to actually run and pass. It's the same signal a job interview cares about.

Two kinds of lab

Guided lab

AI-assisted, with Claude Code, hints, and a per-step answer reveal — so you can't get stuck. Auto-graded on running code. This is the standard lab — you can’t get stuck, and it’s still graded on running code.

Solo run · AI off

Optional practice on selected labs: Claude and the answer reveal are off, so you solve it on your own. It’s still graded on running code, and a pass counts toward your coverage like any lab.

Working a lab

Every passed lab becomes a signed node on your skill graph — a recruiter-auditable record of the labs you actually passed.
