Selection Sprint
The Piscine is a 4-week, full-on, on-campus experience that will give you a taste of coding, the pedagogy and the campus. It will also allow you to find out whether 42 really is made for you or not. You’ll dive straight into tech projects — no prior coding skills needed, just motivation to work hard.
Succeed the Piscine and you’re in!
A few weeks later, you’ll start the core program on campus — 24/7 access, projects, and a community ready to code alongside you.
Your start date can be one of the 2 next kickoffs. Be ready to dive in!
We don’t have quotas, but the seats are limited and filled on a first-come, first-served basis! Don’t hesitate longer and secure your spot through the application portal!
During the selection process, you’ll try, maybe fail, and try again — and that’s the point. Every challenge builds your resilience, determination, and problem-solving skills, all essential for thriving in tech.
You’ll also get to experience our peer-to-peer, project-based way of learning. If it’s not for you, it’s fine to step away at any point in the process.
