Hello, I wanted to ask if one is suitable for this programme even if they do not have any programming background (or if programming with blocks is sufficient knowledge to start from)?

Yes, not everyone had programming experience before joining. You will have plenty of time to learn it, just make sure you do all the assignments you will be given, even extra ones which really help!

Plus, watching some YouTube videos on how to do basic programming in C will be a great boost before you start.
