Working & Learning: Network School FAQ

10 questions about working & learning at Network School in Astana. Each links to a full answer with a note on whether it is confirmed, reported or an estimate.

• What does "Learn, Burn and Earn" mean?

  It's the three things the place is built around: learn technology, burn calories, and work remotely so you keep earning while you do both.

• What does a typical day look like?

  There is no imposed schedule, which is the single most important thing to understand.

• Is Network School actually a school?

  Not in the usual sense. You don't get a degree, and there's no syllabus, grading or course to enrol in.

  The focus is applied technology: AI engineering above all, plus related areas like crypto, building products and distribution.

• What are cryptocredentials?

  A cryptocredential is a portable, verifiable record of what you actually completed, issued on-chain as proof of work.

  Most people arrive with income already, from a remote job, a company or freelance clients, and the place is designed around that continuing.

• Is there a fellowship or scholarship?

  Network School has run subsidised routes in the past for people who couldn't otherwise afford to attend.

• Are there sessions every day?
