Beginners and developers from other languages who want to learn Rust properly, starting with the ideas that make it different.
Beginner level
Rust Programming
Ownership, Structs and Command-Line Tools
Learn Rust from scratch: Cargo, types and control flow, ownership and borrowing, structs and enums with pattern matching, collections, error handling, traits and generics, and unit testing, building two command-line tools and a final project.

At a glance
Basic programming experience in any language (variables, loops, functions). A computer that can install Rust with rustup (Windows, macOS or Linux). No systems programming knowledge is needed.
Pass the quizzes, complete the labs and submit your capstone. Everything is checked as you go and your certificate is issued the moment you finish.
What you will be able to do
- 01Create, build, test and document Rust projects with Cargo
- 02Explain ownership, borrowing and lifetimes and fix common borrow checker errors
- 03Model data with structs, enums and pattern matching
- 04Handle errors with Option, Result and the ? operator and use collections and strings
- 05Write traits, generics, tests and a polished command-line tool

What you take away
An internship certificate with your skills on it.
Made for you automatically when you finish the last part, it names the internship programme, the level and the 41 hours, lists what you showed, and carries a number and a QR code. Anyone can check it on the NIBVEDA verification page, and it shows as withdrawn there if it is ever revoked.
- Proof you completed all 41 hours of this internship programme
- An Internship badge for your profile, CV or portfolio
- Not a job, a stipend or an academic degree, and it says so

3 programmes in this track, from beginner to expert. Buy the learning path and save 15%.
Go beyond the basics: smart pointers, threads and channels, shared state without data races, async Rust with Tokio, and production-style web services with Axum, SQLx and PostgreSQL, tested, traced and packaged in containers.
- Smart pointers
- Threads and channels
- Async Rust and Tokio
Understand Rust at depth: the advanced type system and macros, writing sound unsafe abstractions and checking them with Miri, how async really works, calling and being called from C and Python, performance engineering with profilers and benchmarks, and Rust on WebAssembly and microcontrollers.
- Advanced traits and macros
- Unsafe Rust and soundness
- Async internals

Is this a real internship?
It is a virtual internship programme: a structured, self-paced course built around a real project, with checked assessments and a certificate. It is not employment, it does not carry a stipend and it is not an academic or AICTE-approved qualification. What it gives you is verified, project-based evidence of skills.
How does self-paced work?
You start when you like and move at your own speed. Each part unlocks when you finish the one before it. There are no live classes and no deadlines. Your access is shown on each programme page.
How is my work checked?
Quizzes are marked as soon as you submit them. Labs use a tick-list of tasks. Intermediate and Expert programmes finish with a capstone that the NIBVEDA team reviews and either accepts or sends back with comments.
Can I get a refund?
