"I was looking for a course which would get me to such a level that I would be able to find a job in the field. I was hoping that the bootcamp would teach me everything I needed to be able to program a simpler application. I also wanted to partially try out what the daily life of a programmer entails and what the practice looks like. In the end, the course exceeded my expectations. I'm really working as a programmer now."
The career-changing programming course certainly fulfilled my need for new knowledge. For someone who had never done coding, there was a lot of new information. I'm grateful to Green Fox for helping me change my career and fulfill my goals.
"Thanks to the bootcamp, I managed to learn it all in four months. In addition, I had someone to ask for help during my studies. Also, Green Fox Academy guarantees a job placement. I went from the course directly to a new job."
"I am grateful for the knowledge and experiences that you cannot get anywhere else. All the info about the job search... I feel more universal in my use (recruiters like my story). I was strengthening also my left hemisphere."
I'm grateful for the supportive learning environment. The mentors were always happy to answer my questions & guide me towards solutions to my coding problems, and thanks to the soft skills trainings I felt well equipped to succeed in interviews.

By the end of the course you will have junior level programming skills (in C# or Java). In the third module of the course you can specialize in the following areas.
It's up to you, which path you choose.
There is a huge demand for programmers both nationally and globally due to the enormous technological advancements of recent decades. Also coding is more and more becoming an essential skill, like speaking English. Looking at the career paths available for Green Fox Academy graduates, there has been a high demand for Java and JavaScript developers, and recently our company partners have started to look for more and more ServiceNow Platform or Salesforce Platform developers.
We think that anyone can learn to code, however, not all can learn in such an intensive pace of our bootcamp. Moreover, we make sure our graduates are placed in their news jobs as soon as possible after the graduation. Our company partners rely on us in providing them motivated and talented junior developers. That is why we have an admission process in place.
Our goal at Green Fox is to create an environment that is similar to the one, in which you will find yourself when you start to work afterward. So our teaching methodology focuses on solving challenges. Our students work on tasks in the first half of the course, and on the development of complex projects in the second half.
Work takes place within a mentoring framework. In practice, this means that only 10 % of the time is taken up by lectures. The remaining 90% consists of individual and group-work, led by mentors.
We apply the blended classroom methodology, meaning traditional classroom techniques are mixed with digital solutions. There are video-based materials that are to be processed individually by the students, followed by mentor supported individual and group-work.
Participation in the course requires no conventional preliminary qualifications. One thing you must have, though, is knowledge of English language. This is important, as the study materials are in English. No proof of having passed a relevant language exam will be required.
Although not required, it will be to your advantage during the admission process if you can prove you have a degree of any kind, have tried coding, or have participated in any online course.
You can join our online classes from anywhere where there is a stable internet connection. We provide
on-campus classes in Prague mainly to our Czech classes. However, there is always one English group available that you can join. Our main office is at Václavské náměstí 11 at Prague 1.
After graduation, we will help you find a job. Green Fox students go through the same selection process as any other candidate for junior programmer positions. Until starting your new job you will deepen your coding knowledge for a further 10 weeks through working at our co-working space, Húli.
We believe that the knowledge you will acquire in our course is job-ready and to prove this to you we provide with a placement guarantee: if you cannot find a job in IT within 6 months after successful graduation, we will refund you the full amount of your tuition (or waive it if you chose @after tuition). Please find more details in the student contract.
You will receive a certificate issued by Green Fox Academy, confirming that you have completed the course and passed the final exam.
If you meet the conditions for participation in an accredited course (at least high-school diploma), you will also receive a certificate of retraining from the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports of the Czech Republic.
JavaScript's object oriented aspects are very different from other core object oriented languages, such as Java or C#. Therefore we use TypeScript, a JavaScript based language developed by Microsoft, for introducing object orientation in this module. A good foundation for later client-side (front-end) or even ServiceNow development.
Main Topics:
Full-Stack will help you learn how to create web applications using JavaScript, including front-end and back-end web development using Node.js on the server side and vanilla JS on the client side. We intentionally do not introduce any front-end frameworks during this period. It is a good foundation for the Full-Stack, Front-end and DevOps specialization in the Project module. At the end of orientation, the participant should be capable of creating an interactive web application that is connected to a database.
Main Topics:
These projects are strictly front-end applications, written in Angular 2+ and React, which are two of the most popular JavaScript frameworks. These applications are connected to the back-end applications provided by the other teams.

In case of @PathVariable package, you can start looking for you new job yourself.
Our graduates get placed in companies on average in 1 to 3 months. In the Czech Republic, we provide
a guaranteed minimum salary of 40 000 CZK. However, the average salary of our fresh graduates in their first job is 47 200 CZK. Of course the salary increases gradually over the years and with experience.
For your successful placement we need your efforts as well, because you will go through the same selection process as any other candidates for Junior Developer positions. It means that we will expect you to participate in all interviews organised by us, as well as to actively search for and apply to jobs after your exclusivity period is over. Please find the rest of the conditions in the student contract.
If you are ready to change your life, submit your application!
The first thing you will need to do is to simply tell us a few basic information about yourself.
The next step in the selection process is to complete an online cognitive test. It consists of two benchmark games that assess for example your reasoning, learning and problem solving skills.
All instructions will come in the email (don't forget to check the spam folder). The test itself takes up to 20 minutes.
After successfully passing the cognitive test, you will receive an invitation for an interview. This part of the selection process is focused on testing your English and motivation. We are trying to measure your most important soft skills and competencies that are essential for completing the course.
The meeting with our psychologist will last about 30 minutes. It is also time for you to ask detailed questions if you have any.
Programming simulation tests your digital literacy. You will follow the instructions of the mentor and work both in a team and independently. Don't worry, even with this step, we don't expect you to have any prior programming knowledge.
The simulation lasts 1 hour and is held in English.

The whole selection process takes about 2 weeks. It depends on your time possibilities and the currently free capacity for the interview/simulation.
During the course, however, we focus not only on coding, but also on the development of soft skills, including communication and presentation skills, stress management, collaboration and teamwork. In particular, we feel it is important that our students feel confident in their future workplaces, so each class at Green Fox is allocated a dedicated psychologist. Students take part in training and coaching sessions as needed, and present their knowledge to our mentors and / or our partners in individual and group presentations.
What do you need in order to have the courage to change your career? Do you have the potential to successfully finish the course? Is the programming career suitable for you? Ask Katarina, Dan or Ivana our psychologists, and coaches. All have Master's degrees in psychology and experience from the Czech Republic, and abroad.
Balancing family, work and your dreams is often a superhuman task. But as Jiřina Kopsová proves, everything is possible when you want it, and you have the support of the people around you. “I never believed that I would become a programmer," laughs the former HR specialist. But she did it! Thanks to the Junior Programmer retraining course from Green Fox Academy, she changed both her life and her profession and at the same time inspired many other women. In short, it is never too late to "go back to school" and pursue your goal.
He felt that sooner or later his position would be made redundant due to automation. “I also wanted to do something that would have a tangible result," Jaroslav lists the reasons why he decided to retrain in IT. Instead of studying for three years at university, he finally gave preference to four months in bootcamp and stands firmly behind his choice.
He already enjoyed computer science at high school and after his experiences at university he decided to devote himself fully to it. “But I didn't want to wait another five years and continue living with my parents, so I went to work and eventually enrolled in a distance learning course," said Michail Richardson. However, after one semester, he shortened his journey to the world of IT. He started retraining and thanks to the bootcamp he will be a programmer in just four months!
