FAQs
What’s the non-technical interview?
Lasting 20 minutes in-person or over video call, it gives us a chance to get to know you, your professional experience, motivation and goals for participating in the program.
What’s the technical interview like for the Full-Stack program?
Regardless of coding experience, each candidate must pass a coding challenge. The potential student will receive an email with a list of explained JavaScript exercises and tutorials to complete within 10 days. A date and time will be set and the candidate will be asked specific questions over video call by an instructor on what she/he has learned during this time.
How many students are there per class?
To maintain a high level of interaction and instruction, each class has an average of 10 to max. 20 students (in-class).
Is the duration of the Bootcamps long enough?
Absolutely. For the Full-Stack and Data Science programs, 12 weeks of intensive practice (40 hours in the classroom with an additional 20-30 for course work per week) will give you what it takes to step into one of these fields.
What coding level do I need?
Many of the Full-Stack participants are beginners with some or no experience. We are more interested in your motivation and drive to succeed, from the interviews, pre-work, to completing the program.
I’d rather participate from another location. Can I attend the program remotely?
Absolutely. For those interested in this option, please select it on the application form.
Is there a difference between the in-person and remote option?
None at all. You’ll be joining the in-class participants for the same program and follow via our live stream platform. You’ll get the same attention from our staff as if you were on site.

Software Developer & Instructor
Ever since he was a kid, he loved nothing more than bringing old computers back to life. It was the start of a lifelong love for all things tech and solving computer problems. He started his career in the architecture industry, which gave him a great eye for design. But after 15 years, he realized that his true passion was in IT. Now, as a web developer, he gets to combine his technical skills with his love for design and aesthetics.
Hristo Georgiev
Software Developer & Instructor
Ever since Hristo was a child, one of his favourite hobbies was gaming. This later sparked his fascination with tinkering and troubleshooting computers. As his passion grew for computers, it led him to study computer hardware in high school and afterwards, computer science at university. After graduating, he moved to Switzerland, where he worked for a family-owned business. However, he missed working with computers.
