Everything people ask us
Grouped by topic. If your question is not here, write to contact@metinstitution.com and we will answer it — and probably add it to this page.
Choosing a programme
It depends what you want at the end. If you want paid work as quickly as is realistic, start with WordPress Mastery — it assumes nothing and leads to freelance work sooner than any other route. If you want to become a developer properly, take Programming Foundations and then Web Development. If you are drawn to how products look and feel, UI/UX Design also starts from zero.
Yes, and if you intend to, the All-Access Pass is almost always cheaper than buying two bundles separately. We would rather point that out than sell you the same content twice. Taking two at once is possible but rarely a good idea — most people do better finishing one before starting the next.
Read the full curriculum on the programme page — every module is listed in detail specifically so you can judge it. Then write to us describing your background and what you want to build, and we will give you an honest recommendation. There is also a seven-day refund from your start date if the reality does not match your expectation.
No. Career changers in their thirties, forties and beyond frequently do better than younger students, because they are clearer about why they are doing it and better at working steadily. The only real requirements are time each week and patience with yourself in the first month.
Studying here
Each week has recorded lessons you work through whenever suits you, a practical task to complete, and one scheduled ninety-minute live class with an instructor. The live class is not a repeat of the videos — it is walkthroughs, live debugging, review of student work and open questions. Between sessions, the student community is where quick questions get answered.
Each programme runs its live class at a fixed weekly time chosen to work across Gulf, Levant and North African time zones. Your exact schedule is confirmed when you enrol. Every session is recorded and posted the same day, so missing one costs you only the chance to ask in the moment — and you can bring those questions to the community or the following week.
Nothing is taken away from you. The stated weeks describe the pace of the live sessions, not a deadline on your access — the material is yours for life. Students working full time often take considerably longer than the published length and finish perfectly well. If you stall completely, tell us; that is usually a sign something specific is blocking you, and it is usually fixable in one conversation.
Between six and twelve hours depending on the programme, and the figure on each page is honest rather than optimistic. What matters more than the total is how it is spread: four sessions of ninety minutes across a week beats one six-hour block, consistently and by a wide margin.
A laptop or desktop from roughly the last six years with 8 GB of RAM, running Windows, macOS or Linux, plus a stable internet connection and a microphone for live sessions. Every tool we teach with is free or has a free tier sufficient to complete the programme. Mobile App Development benefits from a physical phone to test on, and its store fees are paid to Apple and Google, not to us.
All programme material and live sessions are in English, which is also the working language of the industry — being comfortable reading English documentation is itself part of the training. Support and advisory conversations can be handled in Arabic, and Arabic-speaking mentors are available for some 1-on-1 sessions on request.
Payment & enrolment
Send an enrolment request from the contact page or any programme page. An advisor confirms the programme suits you, answers anything outstanding, and sends your start date with a secure payment link. Access opens as soon as the first payment clears. We do this by conversation rather than an instant checkout precisely so that fewer people end up in the wrong programme.
Yes. Every bundle has an instalment plan listed on the pricing page, and the instalments add up to exactly the bundle price — no interest and no handling fee. Access begins with your first payment. If the published plan still does not work for you, tell us and we will try to arrange something that does.
A full refund within seven days of your programme start date, for any reason, with no argument. After that we do not refund, because the material is downloadable — we would rather publish a clear boundary than a vague one. Mentorship sessions have their own terms: if a session was not useful, tell us within forty-eight hours and we will redo it or refund it.
We hold a limited number of reduced places each cohort for people who genuinely cannot afford full price, and we offer group rates from three people upwards. Both are decided case by case — write to us and describe your situation honestly. We would rather teach someone at a lower price than not teach them at all.
Certificates & careers
No, and we want to be direct about that. We are a private institution, not an accredited university, and our certificate is a certificate of completion issued by us. In practice, technology employers and clients weigh your portfolio and what you can demonstrate far more heavily than any certificate — which is exactly why our programmes are built around projects. If you need a formally accredited qualification for a visa or a government role, a certificate from us will not serve that purpose.
We will not promise that, and we would be suspicious of anyone who does. What we provide is a portfolio of real projects, the skills employers and clients actually test for, direct preparation for interviews and freelance work, and instructors who will review your CV and portfolio honestly. Whether that turns into a job depends on your market, your effort in applying, and a degree of luck. Saying otherwise would be selling you something we cannot deliver.
The most honest answer: WordPress is the fastest route, and a committed student can be taking small paid projects around the end of the sixteen-week programme, though the first ones are usually modest and hard-won. Development roles typically take longer — six to twelve months past the end of the programme, including the time spent applying. Anyone quoting you a confident number for your specific case is guessing.
Every programme includes a career and freelance playbook covering CV writing, portfolio presentation, interview preparation, quoting, scoping and invoicing, plus a portfolio review from an instructor. We do not currently operate a job placement service or claim hiring partnerships, because we do not have them. If that changes, we will say so plainly rather than implying it.
About the institution
Because we have not taught our first full cohort yet, so there are none we could publish honestly. Rather than write flattering quotes and attach invented names to them — which is more common than it should be — we have left the section out entirely. When we have real graduates willing to be quoted, they will appear with their names and their work.
No — anyone can enrol from anywhere. The name reflects where we are rooted and whose context we understand best: regional hosting, payment methods, client expectations and freelance markets. Students elsewhere are welcome, and the only practical consideration is whether the live session times work for your time zone. Ask us before enrolling and we will tell you honestly.
Yes. We offer group rates from three people, and can put together tailored training built around your team's actual stack and goals rather than a fixed syllabus. Send us the number of people, the topic, and what you want them to be able to do afterwards, and we will come back with a proposal.
Write to contact@metinstitution.com with what you currently work on and what you would want to teach. We look for current professional experience, evidence you can explain things clearly, and a trial live session before anyone takes a cohort.
