Frequently asked questions

Do I need to install anything for these law projects?

Most projects run in labs inside your browser (SQL, Excel, Python, Power BI, Git and more). Cloud projects say up front when they use your own AWS account or a simulator instead.

How is a Bartman project different from a tutorial?

You do the work yourself, step by step. Each step is checked automatically, and an AI mentor helps when you are stuck, so you finish with work you can show rather than a video you watched.

Do I get a certificate?

Yes. Finishing a project earns a certificate with its own ID that anyone can verify on bartman.ai.

What is Bartman?

Bartman (bartman.ai) is a learning platform where you build real projects with an AI mentor, practise in free browser labs, take mock tests and practice exams, and run job simulations. It was founded in 2025 and is based in Hyderabad, India.
