Do I need to have any coding experience?

For you to be selected for 42, you don’t need to have any previous experience in coding. You just need a really strong will to learn.

100% free. We believe that everyone deserves an opportunity to develop their talents, so at 42, students are not asked to pay any fee before, during, or after their cursus. This is possible thanks to the support of several corporate and individual donors who have decided to bet in education and provide you this opportunity.

 

How long does it take to complete the 42 cursus?

Each student has the freedom – and responsibility – to learn at their own pace, so there is no established deadline for you to finish your cursus. However, you should plan to commit at least 20h per week to the 42 cursus (ideally 40h).
