How Flux Blaze runs a cohort

The flow below is representative; corporate clinics compress or expand blocks while keeping the same evidence requirements.

  1. Step 01

    Diagnostic + scope memo

    Untimed SQL prompt plus schedule constraints captured in writing.

  2. Step 02

    Sandbox provisioning

    Credentials with least privilege; optional employer VPN documented if used.

  3. Step 03

    Weekly live lab

    ICT evening start, breakout rooms, mentor rotation every 20 minutes.

  4. Step 04

    Async diff review

    Git bundle or SQL file with inline comments—no vague “looks good” replies.

  5. Step 05

    Mid-cohort retro

    Anonymous form + public adjustments to pacing or documentation depth.

  6. Step 06

    Capstone defense

    Fifteen-minute walkthrough with rubric signed by mentor and learner.

Before Flux Blaze

Ad-hoc YouTube loops, unclear feedback, portfolios that read like buzzword bingo.

After structured delivery

Artifacts with rollback notes, bilingual context, and mentor signatures on rubrics.
