Both tracks have identical programs and aim: to get you a job. The only two differences lie in schedule and payment form. Full-time courses are free until you get a job in tech. Henceforth, you pay a percentage of your salary, per agreement. The schedule is from 9 am till 6 pm Monday through Friday.

Full-time course candidates go through a selection process to enroll. We ask you to: 1. Sign up, fill out the application form and prepare for the entrance test with our free module. 2. Pass the entrance test. 3. Attend an online interview: we'll discuss your motivation, verify your English proficiency level (intermediate minimum) and ask you to solve a few simple tasks. 4. Sign the contract.
We select the best candidates every 10 days in selection batches. Batches usually fill up weeks ahead, so, to secure your spot, we recommend applying ASAP. Groups start every 2-3 months.
