We’re expanding! New kood/locations opening in Võru and Paide
Big news from the //kood world: we’re growing. 🚀 Starting autumn 2025, you can officially begin your studies not just in Jõhvi, but also in Võru and Paide (aka kood/Järva). That’s right – whether you’re from South Estonia, Central Estonia or anywhere in between, your tech education path just got a lot more local.
🎉 TL;DR: kood/Võru and kood/Järva (Paide) are opening. Studies start in autumn 2025. Applications are open. Sprints are in Jõhvi. Let’s go
Why more locations?
Because talent is everywhere – and so should opportunities be.
We’re building new campuses as part of a bigger idea: to support vibrant communities outside the capital and offer people a shot at a future-proof career without having to move to Tallinn or Tartu. Not everyone wants to live in a big city, and frankly, that’s kind of the point.
- kood/Võru – our new hub for Southern Estonia (and yes, Latvians are welcome too 👋).
More info here - kood/Järva (Paide) – right in the centre of Estonia, perfect for anyone in Central Estonia who wants to stay closer to home and still join the digital economy.
Flexible learning – remote or hybrid
Don’t live near Jõhvi, Võru or Paide? Prefer learning from your own cosy corner of the world? No worries.
Our one-year programme is built for flexibility. You can do it fully remotely, or choose a hybrid approach – come to campus when you want in-person teamwork, meetups, or meet like-minded people.
What about the campuses?
Good things take time – and just a touch of concrete. Both Võru and Paide campuses are under construction, so this year’s Selection Sprints will take place in Jõhvi for everyone. It’s where it all started, and a great place to test your problem-solving mettle alongside future coders from all locations.
First time touching code? Try kood/Empower
If you’re a woman thinking “this sounds cool but I’m not sure if I belong in tech”, we see you – and we’ve built something just for you.
kood/Empower is a beginner-friendly, 4-day intro to coding. You don’t need any previous experience, just an open mind and a laptop. It’s the perfect way to test the waters before diving into the Selection Sprint.

Step-by-step: How to apply?
Here’s how it works:
- Create an account on our website and play the logic game (it’s free, online, and a bit addictive).
- Choose your Selection Sprint dates and preferred campus – Jõhvi, Võru or Paide. Or choose hybrid mode.
- Join the Selection Sprint in Jõhvi – a 3-week intensive challenge to test your grit and curiosity.
- Start your studies in autumn 2025 – on campus, remote, or a bit of both.
No teachers, no lectures, no upfront fees. You only contribute once you’re working in tech. Sounds fair?
So, what now?
Whether you’re in Võru, Paide, Jõhvi – or somewhere that’s not even on the map yet – this is your chance to build skills, grow confidence, and reshape your future.
