Tech skills

We believe in the startup mantra: Fail fast, fail often.

Whether you just graduated with a degree in computer science, have been coding on your own for years, or just started out, you will be challenged at Refactory.

You will be introduced to both basic and cutting edge technology, and get to use them on actual projects.

Non-technical skills

Building an IT solution is about more than just knowing HTML, Python, React, C++ or SQL. Before you start coding, you need to know how and why you're solving the problem.

That's why we spend a lot of time on key skills like critical thinking, problem solving, leadership, and project management.

This is what distinguishes ordinary developers from exceptional developers.

How does it work?

We have developed a program that takes you from zero to job-ready in 9 months. The program consists of 3 steps.

Software Engineering with Javascript

A focused three-month program that includes training in principles of Javascript components, leadership, critical thinking, IT project management, as well as introductions to different technologies.

Technical
language application

It's at this point that you will begin to implement the languages you have learnt while you develop a real-life project that you will be presenting as an assignment. This is intended to see how one implements leadership skills, critical thinking,  project management, as well as understanding of different technologies.

Advanced
Bootcamp

A six-month boot camp, where a key component is practical learning through projects with industry partners.

This is how you'll spend your time

Our curriculum changes continuously based on feedback from our industry partners to make sure that we are always teaching you what you need to know!
