How Long is a redAcademy Sprint?

Successful candidates will enter into a one-year contract where six months will be weighted towards theory, learning career dynamics, learning business structure, and more. The second six months is a sprint that’s weighted towards actual, real-world development of solutions for an array of the biggest retail customers in the country, where Sprinters focus on experiencing and understanding software development in the real world.
