    FAQs

    • What’s the non-technical interview?

      caret

      Lasting 20 minutes in-person or over video call, it gives us a chance to get to know you, your professional experience, motivation and goals for participating in the program.

    • What’s the technical interview like for the Data Science program?

      caret

      The candidate will receive an email with a list of Python tutorials to complete before the interview. The interview date and time will be set such that there is around one week to get prepared for it.
      On the day of the interview, the candidate will receive a data challenge by email and will have 2 hours to work on it. After submitting the results, a Constructor Academy team member will connect to discuss the results of the Data Challenge (around 15 min). Subsequently, a 30 minute Python coding assessment is conducted to determine the candidate’s structural and logical thinking. The whole process will take 2 hours, 45 min and be based on the tutorials sent before.

    • What's the course schedule for the part-time Bootcamp?

      caret

      The part-time Bootcamp is a 22-week program, with lectures every Tuesday and Thursday from 6pm - 9pm and every other Saturday. In addition, our students invest a few extra hours of their free time to review what they have learned and work on projects.

    • When do I have to pay the tuition fee for the part-time Bootcamps?

      caret

      Upon enrollment, you are required to pay a non-refundable CHF/EURO 3,500 deposit to reserve your seat in the program. 1/2 of the remaining balance is due by the end of the second week of the program and 1/2 by the third month of program.
