Benefits of WeThinkCode Software Development Programme

There is cost-effective accommodation that has specifically been developed for WeThinkCode_ students and is walking distance from our Joburg campus. We are also working to arrange a cost-effective accommodation solution for WeThinkCode_ Cape Town students.

Requirements for WeThinkCode Software Development Programme

Due to the intensity and structure of the curriculum, students are required to be present on campus for 8-10 hours per day.

We aim to break as many barriers to entry for our candidates. There are only two requirements:

  1. Applicants must be between the ages of 17 and 35.
  2. Applicants must complete and pass our online application
  3. No prior education or coding experience is required.
  4. If you are not South African, you are responsible for obtaining a valid work visa / permit valid until 2022.

Selection Process

Successful applicants will be invited to participate in a Selection Bootcamp and ultimately participate in the full-time course.

Selection Bootcamp

The Selection Bootcamp is the final stage in the WeThinkCode_ application process that we use to evaluate candidates. We only select the top performers. Think of it as a month long job interview. It is important to note that the candidates are not only being evaluated on their programming ability, but on a range of criteria, and even those who aren’t successful have gone on to secure learnerships and jobs after completing the Bootcamp. It is an incredibly challenging but rewarding experience.
