First things first – the Online Test

Go over to our homepage www.kood.tech from there you need to press the “apply now” button which grants you access to the study platform. Read through the introduction text and create your account.

Now you are ready to start your Online Test.

What is the Online Test? – a two-part game that challenges your memory and logical thinking. The Test is 1-hour long and you have to complete it in one go! 

This is the first step – the Online Test

Some recommendations: 

  • Use a computer and a mouse – this is for your own convenience! 
  • Make sure you can fully focus on the Test for the 1 hour
  • Don’t give up! – there are no instructions on how to solve the tasks and this is done on purpose. 
  • Take your time and think everything through.

The results

You will get your results right away from the platform.

  • In case of a successful Test the platform will notify you of next steps.
  • In case of an unsuccessful Test, you have 2 more tries to do your best!

Some of you will be thinking about what levels you need to achieve to advance to the next steps. We’ll keep this information for ourselves to keep an element of surprise. If you put in effort, you will have a successful Test.
Do your best and make it count!

The Selection Sprint

The applicants who successfully finished the Online Test, will be invited to an intense three-week on-site coding boot camp called the Selection Sprint. 

In the 2023/24 application process, you can pick between four Selection Sprints: 

  • Selection Sprint I (08.04.24 – 26.04.24)
  • Selection Sprint II (27.05.24 – 14.06.24)
  • Selection Sprint III (05.08.24 – 23.08.24)

Registration to a Sprint ends when the spots are full or 1 week before the start.

You will be coding from day one!

What is the Selection Sprint?
3-week full-time on-site test period (including weekends!), students working together on different assignments, fulfilling quests, exams, and teamwork exercises, learning coding through our study platform and Go programming language.
