How does the selection process work?
To ensure top quality, we limit the number of participants, so our selection process helps us find the best candidates.
The first step is a conversation with HR, where you can showcase your skills, motivation, and why you’re a great fit for the Elixirr Digital Academy. This discussion also includes an assessment of your English speaking abilities.
The next stage involves an interview with our tech experts and HR to gauge your tech skills, programming knowledge, and your demonstrated interest in the field of computer science. While we don’t expect candidates to be experts, we’re looking for individuals who have shown interest in programming and technology, either through tutorials, personal projects, or independent learning. This helps us make sure that you have the curiosity and foundation needed to thrive in our curriculum.
Are there any participation requirements?
Requirements to join the course include an active interest in programming, demonstrated through prior efforts like completing tutorials, personal projects, or studies. Plus, basic knowledge of SQL and Python and English proficiency at level B2 or above are preferred.
