FAQs
Your questions, answered.
What is InceptionU's philosophy on learning?
At InceptionU, we believe that humans learn by doing. Weve built experiential programs that are active, discovery driven, immersive, to build core competencies (both technical and non technical) and challenging all in a supportive environment.
What do you mean when you mention metaskills? What are they and how will they help me?
Tools dont solve problems. People do. Innovation and building better is a people-centric activity. This means that our ability to use our metaskills - critical thinking, systems thinking, creative thinking, computational thinking, design and collaborative skills - are timeless competencies that are central to our future success. And to be clear, this is not just your career; these cognitive and interpersonal skills have impacts across all aspects of your life.

Our alumni bring real-life experience from a variety of industries, our programs and curriculum are oftenbased on real-world examples, and we maintain strong relationships with ourbusiness partners providing a two-way exchange of talent ideas, and challenges/opportunities.
How long are your programs? How fast can I expect to start a new career?
Our programs vary in length. The good news is they are measured in months, notyears! Currently, our programs range from 6 weeks to 6 months. Our goal is to help getyou on a new career path in a matter of months
What kind of time commitment is required? How many hours and days will I need to commit?
We provide a number of different programs that serve a variety of schedules. For example, some learning experiences can be done on evenings and weekends. Time commitments differ from one program to the next. But given the program lengths are short, it’s a temporary commitment with the potential for a lifelong career change.
