    To maintain a high level of interaction and instruction, each class has an average of 10 to max. 20 students (in-class).

  • Is the duration of the Bootcamps long enough?

    caret

    Absolutely. For the Full-Stack and Data Science programs, 12 weeks of intensive practice (40 hours in the classroom with an additional 20-30 for course work per week) will give you what it takes to step into one of these fields.

  • What coding level do I need?

    caret

    Though coding experience is not necessarily a prerequisite, we expect you to have been exposed to programming before, whether in industry, academia, or self-study. Motivation, hard-work, and drive are what we're most looking for.

  • What’s the technical interview like for the Data Science program?

    caret

    The candidate will receive an email with a list of Python tutorials to complete before the interview. The interview date and time will be set such that there is around one week to get prepared for it.
    On the day of the interview, the candidate will receive a data challenge by email and will have 2 hours to work on it. After submitting the results, a Constructor Academy team member will connect to discuss the results of the Data Challenge (around 15 min). Subsequently, a 30 minute Python coding assessment is conducted to determine the candidate’s structural and logical thinking. The whole process will take 2 hours, 45 min and be based on the tutorials sent before.
