FAQs
What’s the non-technical interview?
Lasting 20 minutes in-person or over video call, it gives us a chance to get to know you, your professional experience, motivation and goals for participating in the program.
How many students are there per class?
To maintain a high level of interaction and instruction, each class has an average of 10 to max. 20 students (in-class).
What coding level do I need?
Many of the Full-Stack participants are beginners with some or no experience. We are more interested in your motivation and drive to succeed, from the interviews, pre-work, to completing the program.
I’d rather participate from another location. Can I attend the program remotely?
Absolutely. For those interested in this option, please select it on the application form.
Is there a difference between the in-person and remote option?
None at all. You’ll be joining the in-class participants for the same program and follow via our live stream platform. You’ll get the same attention from our staff as if you were on site.
Is the duration of the programs long enough?
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.
Will I receive a certificate upon successfully completing the course/program?
Yes, upon successfully completing the course or program, you will receive both a digital and a printed certificate from Constructor Academy. These certificates serve as official recognition of your achievement and can be used to enhance your resume, LinkedIn profile, or portfolio.
What’s the technical interview like for the Full-Stack Program?

You’ll have 10 days to review and practice the materials. The technical interview includes a 30-minute live coding session, where an instructor or teaching assistant will observe you solving JavaScript problems. If more time is needed, just let them know.
