We will test your ability to solve problems in the interview, but not programming
skills.

You should leave your application about 2 weeks before your first starting date.
%br
You can take as much time as you need to fill out your personal information, and when you
leave the application you can specify up to three starting dates.
%br
Once we have your application, we will review it and possibly ask you for more information or
clarification. Then we schedule a skype interview, and once that is done it is one to two
weeks before we make a decision about the application.
%br
Upon receiving an invitation to join, you will have two weeks to transfer initial funds,
unless you have chosen super-flex plan.
%br
With good preparation and the super-flex, you can push it down to one month, otherwise
two or more are best.

Ultimately it is your choice off course and depends a lot on you and your self motivation.
%br
If, for example, you have coded c for less than 2 years and have never done any web, then
yes, it may be a very good idea to join. The advantage you have is quite small and will only
mean that you have more time to deepen your knowledge in Web technologies.
%br
Say you have tought yourself javascript and done several web-sites for friends. You know
about html, the dom maybe even node. IN that case it may be better to aim for an internship
directly and read a few of the books we recommend.

%label What are you testing for in the interview, how can i prepare ?

%p.clearfix
The best thing to do is familiarise yourself with the course and be very clear on your
motivation.
%br
We do not test programming skill at all, rather we try to evaluate your analytical thinking.
%br
Also we are very interested in your motivation, what has lead you to apply, what you think
you will do after, how do you justify the spending to yourself, how indeed you will fund
yourself.
%br
Lastly we try to evaluate your communication and emotional skills to see how you will deal
with the inescapability of co-living while doing intense work.

This depends a lot on your previous experiance and what parts of the course suit you best.

This depends a lot on your previous experience and what parts of the course suit you best.
Broadly speaking:
%br
If you are very analytical, you could become a backend programmer. If you are more visual
inclined, you could become front end designer. Also if you lie the front end you may become
a front end application programmer. Or you may even train yourself to become a mobile platform

But, in case you don't find a job soon, then yes, we do recommend taking internships.
Also an internship will give you experience of real world job situations, teach you new
tools, possibly languages. And allow you to add a relevant entry to your CV.

%label Can i just come and learn javascript ?
.toggle-content
%p.clearfix
In short no.
%br
We try to give our students a broad view of software development, from server programming,
testing, application deployment to client technologies like html, css and javascript.
%br
Just learning Javascript tends to leave people with not enough background skills, leading
to low quality code and an enthusiasm to repeat known mistakes and reinvent the wheel as
square.
%br
We are by no means of the opinion that javascrit is bad, it's uniquiquesness is a great
opertunity and many good things are being done in js. It is just not a good first language
and maybe best seen as a platform.

You can get a loan from many places: your parents or other relatives would be our first
suggestion. If they hear you are investing in your own future and should be able to
pay back within a year they may be glad to help.
%br
Depending on your country banks are geared towards student loans. If you explain the situation
they could easily help.
%br
Unfortunately we can not help directly as the legal implications are just too complicated for
a small company like us. We do offer ways for you to earn some of the money back if you don't
find a job immediately, see below.

Unfortunately this is a chicken and egg problem. Before the course, you will not have the
skills we need.
%br
After the course we offer tutor positions or internship, see the career section.
Both of which will not help in a major way though, and you will still need the money
beforehand.

It is true that some american schools offer deferred payment. The fact that all students are
from america and the way the american legal system works makes this much easier for them.
%br
We are looking into this possibility as we would like everyone to be able to participate,
regardless of finacial status. But at the moment it is so that we can only handle the risk
by insisting on pre-payment.
