APPLICATION PROCESS

We are open to everybody. No coding experience or degrees are required.

To apply, we ask that you are curious, motivated, and have logical skills.

You need to be at least 18 years old and ready to study on site, in English! 

 

The recruitment process involves 3 stages. They must be completed in order, and none can be skipped. See the detailed steps below.

42 Warsaw is a coding academy based on the groundbreaking peer-to-peer education model. No teachers, no lectures. By working on practical, real-life projects, students gain both coding and soft skills. Our creative campus, available 24/7, provides a safe and inclusive environment to grow and collaborate.

1. PLAY THE GAME

Create an account in the Apply portal and try our two-part online game. You’ll need at least 2 hours to play, so find a quiet place to focus, as the game cannot be paused or restarted. If you pass, we will invite you to the Introduction Meeting.

 

When? Anytime during the year. 

2. JOIN THE INTRODUCTION MEETING

Attend an event to learn more about the studies at 42 Warsaw. We offer both online and on-site Introduction Meetings, each lasting about an hour. 

 

When? Upcoming sessions are scheduled for: 
– February 20th (online) – last spots left!

March 19th (online)

 

You can sign up on the Apply portal.

3. PARTICIPATE IN THE PISCINE

The Piscine (French for “swimming pool”) is an immersive four-week training on campus that will give you a taste of the way we work. Please note that all Piscines take place fully on-site, on our campus, with no option for remote participation.

Piscine I: from May 12th to June 6th.
