Handy Tips to ace our assessment process

Our training is intensive, which is why we ensure everyone who joins us is ready for 12 weeks of fast-paced learning. Whilst you don’t need a background in tech, there are a few key skills we’ll be looking out for, including self-development, intellectual horsepower, learning on the fly, curiosity, honesty, integrity, problem-solving ability, and an encouraging/ sharing mentality.

In order to ensure the training is right for you, we’ll conduct a bias-free solo interview – we view CVs ‘blind’, meaning that our assessment process is as inclusive as possible right from the beginning. You’ll then be invited to join our aptitude test – it’s not as scary as it sounds, this is just our way or seeing how well you can identify patterns and use logical thinking to solve problems. Again, you won’t need any previous coding or tech experience to do well here! You’ll then join our group assessment centre, where you’ll get to meet other like-minded individuals through one of our ice-breaker sessions, take part in a beginners training session about JavaScript (one of the coding languages we teach), and get involved with a group problem-solving activity.

If you have any questions about the assessment process, we’re here to help at any point. We’re passionate about getting people into tech, regardless of their background, so we want to ensure you feel comfortable and confident going into your training with us. We work with a number of CSR and charity partners, to ensure our assessment and training processes are adequately adapted to those with different needs.
