Employment-Focused “Playbook” (5 Steps to Get Hired)

The pitch frames a process to move from zero knowledge to job-ready, emphasizing skills over degrees and portfolio evidence.

The 5 Steps (as described)

  1. Understand the job market
    • Full-stack is framed as covering a large share of roles.
  2. Learn essential skills for first employment
    • Choose languages/tech based on what companies demand.
  3. Build a project portfolio
    • Training projects become proof of capability.
  4. Differentiate via soft skills
    • Interview and workplace collaboration capabilities.
  5. Specialize for higher salaries
    • Specialization after becoming full-stack.

Key Framework / Process Mechanics

  • Skills-first hiring logic: companies hire based on demonstrable skills/projects, not degrees.
  • Portfolio-first proof: the portfolio is reviewed before interviews.
  • Staged learning path:
    • “pre-work → frontend → backend → interview/job modules → optional expert modules → specialization”
  • Mentorship + community loop:
    • Discord + weekly Q&A (“AMAs”)
    • 1:1 tutoring
    • deliverable projects

Key Metrics & KPIs (and Concrete Targets)

  • Job market coverage claim: full-stack can apply to ~32%–35% of job offers (two slightly different figures stated).
  • Portfolio influence claim: 90% of tech companies review the portfolio before interviews.

Training Time Estimates (Targets)

  • Pre-work: ~20 weeks
  • Complete full-stack (flagship program): ~44 weeks with ~2 hours/day
  • Specialization timeline:
    • ~9 months to learn specialization fundamentals
    • ~12 months to work on real projects

First-Job Outcome Claims

  • Student testimony: Romina found a first job in 7 months
  • Academy-level promise: “only academy that guarantees by contract you will find a job”
    • (Contract enforcement terms are not specified in the subtitles.)

Other Numeric / Proof Points

  • Discord screenshots of job offers/announcements are shown as anecdotal community proof.
  • No additional KPI beyond testimony-style evidence.

  • Master in Full Stack Development (flagship)
  • 3 master-level specializations:
    • Blockchain Development
    • Artificial Intelligence (AI) Development
    • Cybersecurity (with “Chema Alonso” and team)

Full Stack Curriculum Structure (Stated Modules/Contents)

Pre-work (~20 weeks)

  • basics of computer science, pseudocode
  • Linux/terminal
  • Python fundamentals
  • “solid principles”
  • Git / GitHub

Frontend

  • HTML, CSS, JavaScript
  • TypeScript + React

Backend

  • database module (mentions “Streamly”)

Deployment + Business Relevance

  • deployment of apps
  • WordPress usage
  • SEO module (website discoverability)

Interview / Job Module

  • job proposals where they “publish what companies send us”

Optional Expert Modules (Non-mandatory)

  • Backend expert: Java, Node, Rust, Go
  • Expert frontend: advanced React, Astro, Angular, Vue-like (“ViewJS”)

Specialized Tracks Positioning (Why These)

  • Cybersecurity: presented as essential across increasingly tech companies.
  • AI Development: framed as “creating AI,” not merely using it.
  • Blockchain Development: framed as emerging across both centralized and decentralized data systems.

Sales / Marketing Tactics Used in the Pitch

  • Outcome guarantees: emphasizes a contractual job guarantee and employability.
  • Risk reversal: bonuses and cost reductions:
    • academy says it will cover the registration fee
    • specialization price divided in half (if explained during consulting call)
  • Value proof via testimonials: repeated student success stories (e.g., Romina, Daniel Labrador, Jaime, Alma, Miguel, Edu, Iván).
  • Authority building: faculty are described as industry professionals, with emphasis on named faculty employers.
  • Community-driven pipeline (Discord):
    • peer job searching and referrals
    • students posting job wins
    • students connecting with companies (screenshots of company posts + student-to-student collaboration)

Concrete Examples / Case Studies (as presented)

  • Romina: first job in 7 months while studying.
  • Edu: started from scratch; found first job without prior experience (age ~21–22 at start).
  • Daniel Labrador:
    • selected for an internship at Open Mobility
    • later “third job”; currently at NTT Data (as claimed)
    • highlighted his process documentation as interview/reference material.
  • Jaime: built an “animal shelter manager” project and used it for early hiring before finishing studies.
  • Alma: student in Germany, completing training (grateful testimonial).
  • Nicolás Romera (faculty story):
    • police officer/interrogation specialist turned interview preparation specialist
    • academy references an interview prep module and “the fundamental half hour”
  • Miguel (specialization story):
    • from palm-tree pruning to blockchain developer
    • remote for a US company from Malaga (salary described as “amazing,” without a figure)

Actionable Recommendations (Directly Advised)

  • Portfolio creation: treat training projects as a “calling card”; ensure portfolio quality.
  • Interview readiness: practice soft skills and be honest about knowledge gaps (Miguel used as an example).
  • Time commitment: “with the right methodology” 2 hours/day over ~1 year for full stack; specialize ~9–12 months later.
  • Preparation for consulting call: find a quiet place and treat it “like a professional interview.”

Frameworks / Processes Explicitly Referenced

No formal business frameworks (e.g., SWOT/OKRs) are mentioned. However, there is an implicit stage-gate learning & employability pipeline:

Job market analysis → skills essentials → portfolio proof → soft skills → specialization → interview

GTM (go-to-market) is not deeply detailed; the pitch focuses on training-as-a-product and employment outcome positioning.
