Heard about kood\/J\u00f5hvi\u2019s Selection Sprint<\/a> and considering giving it a try but need a few more reasons? Meet Charles and Axel, and discover why joining kood\/J\u00f5hvi could be the right move for you. Their stories might just give your confidence the boost it needs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet Charles<\/strong> (37), a dedicated sports enthusiast and a Manchester United fan, who moved from Nigeria to Estonia eight years ago. With a master\u2019s degree in Mechatronics and over five years in Anti-Financial Crime, Charles is now ready to change his career towards Cloud DevOps, fueled by the skills kood\/J\u00f5hvi has to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there\u2019s Axel <\/strong>(29), a creative spirit with a background in writing and a passion for biomed and space. After health setbacks, Axel chose coding as a stepping stone to recovery and a future in tech, drawn to kood\/J\u00f5hvi for its hands-on approach and community spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why kood\/J\u00f5hvi?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles was drawn to kood\/J\u00f5hvi\u2019s unique, practical, no-teachers approach and the chance to dive into various specialisations. For him, the Selection Sprint was perfectly organised, turning the impossible into achievable through teamwork and a fresh perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI decided to try out the selection sprint because I was intrigued by the sprint schedule (all practical, no teachers). Also, an opportunity to visit J\u00f5hvi. The kood\/J\u00f5hvi program does not have the traditional education system and there is no financial commitment at the start, so you do not have to worry about finance if you are selected\u201d.<\/em> \u2013 Charles<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Axel, initially sceptical about traditional education, found kood\/J\u00f5hvi\u2019s real-world coding focus compelling. The school\u2019s model of self-directed learning and peer support clicked with him, influencing his approach to education and collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cI decided \u2018why not?\u2019 Worst case scenario\u2013it\u2019s going to be interesting. I\u2019m not paying anything, I get to try stuff out, meet new people; it\u2019s a veritable Summer Camp\/Bootcamp for adults, only you\u2019re not paying thousands for the pleasure of frying your brains out\u201d<\/em>. \u2013 Axel<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Some advice for future participants?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles encourages future sprinters never to doubt their abilities. The initial challenge is tough, but with supportive tech tutors and fellow sprinters, everything is possible. Engage fully, use the preparatory materials, and immerse yourself in the vibrant community life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cNever doubt yourself. At some point I felt like, this is impossible! The first 2 days were the worst. Remaining focused on the tasks was key. There are lots of people to help you. The tech tutors were absolutely friendly and always ready to help and answer any questions you may have. Your fellow sprinters are also there to help, do not be scared to ask questions. One more thing, be sure to go over the materials shared to prep you for the sprint. Doing this puts you in the sprint mood and also gives you little insights to what is to come. Finally, enjoy the moments and people you will meet. Participate in the different activities planned, it is a nice way to distract yourself from hours of coding. Remember, it is all about you, some of the other sprinters may find the tasks easier. That should not throw you off or doubt yourself. Ask for help and you will be fine<\/em>\u201d. \u2013 Charles<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Axel\u2019s journey highlights the importance of community and self-motivation. His advice? Embrace the freedom kood\/J\u00f5hvi offers, engage with peers, and enjoy the extracurricular activities. It\u2019s about finding your rhythm and making the most of this unique educational experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s particularly great is that you\u2019re your own boss and you make your own schedule. \u2026 Imagine being a day walker one week and a nightwalker the other. I don\u2019t think you could get more free will anywhere else. And you\u2019d think that without daily classes and teachers breathing on the nape of your neck you\u2019d start slacking on your deadlines, but you have your fellow awesome people right there, and how are you going to disappoint them? It\u2019s a natural sort of motivation\u201d.<\/em> \u2013 Axel<\/p>\n\n\n\n
