FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Although 42 Network's teaching methods encourage you to find the answers yourself, we've provided some answers to the most frequently asked questions.
As much time as you need! We firmly believe that every student is unique and should be allowed to learn at their own pace. The course takes an average of 3 years full-time, including two 4-6 month placements. But it's up to you. Some students will complete the course in less than two years; others will need five. It all depends on how easy you find it and how much time you can invest. The important thing is that you continue to make steady progress.
42 Lausanne is the only school in Switzerland offering 100% hands-on higher education, focused on programming, on projects and relevant to the real world. Students write code every day. A study by Stackoverflow showed that 54% of IT graduates say that the content of their training is outdated, requiring additional self-study to qualify for a job in their field. Graduates of the 42 network do not face these problems because the content is updated every month and students put their skills into practice for an average of 8 hours a day during their studies.
All you have to do is create an account and take a two-hour online test. If you pass the test, you'll have to overcome the final obstacle, the "Pool".
