APPLICATION PROCESS
We are open to everybody. No coding experience, degrees or other qualifications are required. To apply, we ask that you are open-minded, curious, and motivated. You just 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.
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.
