Our admissions process has been built to reveal this. In addition to strong motivation, you will need solid analytical thinking, as well as quick problem-solving and learning ability. These competences will be measured based on performance shown while solving two online games during the 4-steps admissions process (3-steps in case of CRM Specialist course). The whole admissions is online and takes up to 2 weeks.
You can postpone your start and join the following class, if it’s more suitable for you. However the result of selection process is valid for 6 months. If you are successful, and you want to start the course after more than 6 months after your admission, we might ask you to repeat some parts of the admissions process.
English is the default language used in the IT industry. IT professionals all over the world are required to have a solid command of English in order to be able to collaborate with their colleagues and assist their customers. If you are not sure about your level, you can still apply - you will find during the selection process, if your English is sufficient.
Yes. If you've already tried programming of any kind (online course, Green Fox Academy workshop) or if you already have a degree in any field.
Absolutely. If you pass the admissions process we will keep your application on record. However, we cannot guarantee that the courses taking place afterwards will still be available for you due to limits in capacity. The selection process result is valid for 6 months.
Unfortunately we do not because the admissions process requires a huge investment of energy, not just from the side of the applicant but also from our admissions team.
Yes, but 6 months must elapse between the two applications because we believe that this amount of time is needed to prepare for reinitiation of the process.
No, but we are always transparent about the program. Our oldest student thus far was 46 years old at the time of the course and it was more difficult for him to prove that he was as capable of coping with a junior position as his younger colleagues. Our experience shows that it’s entirely up to you to consider how you will handle having a new career in a junior position after years of experience in another field.
We always try to leave a buffer of more than 30 days between the announcement of your acceptance into the program and the start of the training. The admission process spans approximately 2 weeks and you will receive your results within a few days of completing each step. The earlier you apply, the earlier you will know if you are accepted, so don't postpone it.
Our online courses starts approximately 4 times a year.
The attendance is obligatory for accredited courses - you have to attent at least 90 % of the course. We want to make sure that you devote your time to studying and it is also one of the conditions for the job guarantee. We solve special cases including health issues of students on an individual basis. During the course you can take 2 days off without any required documentation as verification. Additionally, you have 3 days of sick leave, which you have to prove by submitting a doctor’s note. If you are a student with a child under 3 years of age, you have 5 additional days of leave which do not require documentation as verification.
Everyone works on their own laptop, but in case of an accreditated course, we can lend you one. It can be an average one, no special features are required. It would preferably have at least a dual core processor and 8 GB of RAM. But we highly recommed at least 16 GB RAM. The operating system should be 64-bit, and should be updated Microsoft Windows or Mac OS. SSD hard drive is also better.
