The duration of the trainee program depends on your learning speed and prior knowledge. We will evaluate your progress together and adjust the timeframe if necessary. Depending on your level of knowledge, the program typically lasts 4-8 months in most cases.
The aim of the trainee program is to train you to become a Full-Stack Web Developer in a few months. We cannot teach you the basics of software development and therefore require profound programming skills and IT understanding. The program is therefore not suitable for career changers or those from unrelated fields.
