TTFA Academy · A fellowship for people at work
For student or developer on legacy stacksFull-stack Developer
TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node and MongoDB, with the GenAI features clients now ask for.
Who this is for
You already do part of this job. The program closes the gap between where you are and being seen as a Full-stack Developer.
Probably not for you, yet
If you haven't worked in the domain at all, a counsellor will say so on the call and point you to a better starting program. If you want a certificate more than a portfolio, this isn't it.
What you'll build
Each project is modelled on the mentors' production work and reviewed 1:1. Together they are your portfolio.
Project 1
Modelled on the mentor's production work, with the messy parts left in, reviewed 1:1.
Project 2
Brief, build, review: the way a manager would hand it to you, with the checks that stop it breaking next month.
Project 3
Published, documented and defended, with the notes a senior would give you.
Curriculum
24 to 36 weeks, depending on your pace. Each module ends with an assignment a mentor reviews.

How the weeks run
A counsellor confirms the exact days and times for your batch on the call.
Two evenings a week with the mentor, on the work of the week.
Project time with the mentor in the room: build, get stuck, get unstuck.
Every class recorded the same day; 1:1 doubt-solving whenever you're stuck.
Your projects reviewed like production work, with notes you can act on.
Engineering
Programs next to this one. A counsellor will tell you which fits what you do today.
Questions
Anything else: ask on the call.
Yes. The program assumes you know your work, not the tool. If you've never worked in the domain, a counsellor will point you to a better start.
Every class is recorded the same day, and 1:1 slots exist for exactly this. Most people who fall behind catch up in a week.
There is career support: mock interviews, profile reviews and referrals where we have them. Nobody honest can promise you a role; your projects make the case for you.
A counsellor looks at what you do today and tells you, straight, whether MERN & Next.js with GenAI is the right next step.
