A first-timer looking for advice
Hi there,
I have just landed a junior developer position as a Low-Code app Builder. I hold a bachelor’s dgree in Cyber Security, an my former occupation where in the GRC realm as a risk advisor.
I’ve never used Pega before, but now I have a chance to learn to use the platform by doing. The Pega Academy offers 3 different missions for beginners:
- Low-Code App Builder (11 hrs 20 min)
- Low-Code App Builder Extended (23 hrs 20 min)
- Low-Code Maker (2 hrs 5 min)
To my understanding, I have to start with the first mission on the list above to get a grasp of the platform.
Let’s say I am dedicating 2 to 4 hrs a day of learning. What is considered a realistic timeframe to finish these beginner training missions? And would it be wise to finish all three missions before taking any work-related tasks?
Thanks!

It depends on how well you understand the concepts in the training missions. I highly encourage you to do the challenges that will give you a good start in visualizing or correlating what you're learning in the Academy.

At first it'll take more tie to grasp the concepts, but after hands-on you'll start learning faster. The missions mentioned are good to start. Utilize the hands-on modules provided in academy. Eventually you need to give the Certified System Architect (CSA) certification to be recognized as a Pega architect.
