tracks
languages
01
Guided paths, not guesswork
Each track is a curated sequence — foundations first, then applied projects — so you always know what comes next and why it matters.
02
Your browser is your IDE
Write, run, and debug real code without installing anything. Open a lesson on your laptop, tablet, or phone and start building in seconds.
03
Certificates backed by real work
Complete a track and earn a verifiable certificate tied to actual coursework — not a 10-question quiz. Share it on LinkedIn or attach it to your résumé.
04
Free. No catch.
Every course, every exercise, every certificate — open to all. Where you live or what you earn should never decide who learns to code.

Learner stories
Real success from real learners
I completed the SQL track while working full-time. The exercises use real datasets — by course 3 I was writing JOINs and subqueries I could actually use at work. Got my certificate in 5 weeks.

Junior Analyst at Deutsche Bank · SQL Certificate
Before EdLight Code, I had never written a line of Python. The track walks you through everything step-by-step — functions, loops, pandas. I automated our weekly inventory report and saved our team about 4 hours a week.

Operations Lead at Quisqueya University · Python Certificate
I used the Web Dev track to build a new internal status page for our team. HTML, CSS, and JavaScript in sequence made the progression feel natural. The certificate verification link was a nice touch — my manager clicked it the same day.

Yes — all tracks and lessons are completely free to access. Certificates are available for a small fee, and some advanced pathways have an enrollment cost. We believe learning itself should never be locked behind a paywall.
Each certificate has a unique public verification URL that anyone — including employers and HR teams — can use to confirm its authenticity in seconds. You can also add it to your LinkedIn profile with one click directly from your certificate page.
Most tracks take 4–8 hours of focused learning, which you can spread over a few days or complete in a weekend. There are no deadlines — you learn entirely at your own pace, and your progress is saved automatically.
EdLight Code is available in English, French, and Haitian Creole. You can switch languages at any time from the navigation bar — your preference is saved automatically across all your sessions.
No experience required. Our beginner tracks start from absolute basics and build up step by step. If you know how to use a browser, you're ready to start. A short quiz during sign-up also helps match you to the right starting point.
A track is a focused course set on a single skill — like Python, SQL, or Web Dev. A pathway is a structured multi-track program built around a career goal, such as becoming a Data Analyst or Web Developer. Pathways include a capstone project and a pathway-level certificate.
Yes, EdLight Code is fully responsive and works on any device. Reading lessons and quizzes work great on mobile. The code editor and interactive exercises are optimized for larger screens, so a laptop or tablet is recommended for coding labs.
When you sign up, a short onboarding quiz suggests the best track based on your goals. If you're unsure, SQL and Python are great starting points — both are highly in demand, beginner-friendly, and build transferable analytical skills.
