Frequently Asked Questions

We do offer a learning environment where you can hone your technical skills and develop soft skills. You will get a roof over your head, a comfortable office chair, WiFI, coffee, nice colleagues and a coaching team who will regularly give you a helping hand. In return, we expect personal commitment and ask you to step out of your comfort zone. So you are able to make the most of your seven month training and can get back on the job market.

At BeCode we do like to invest in your future! The training costs are fully covered by BeCode’s partners and sponsors so you don’t have to pay any tuition fee.

Absolutely! No prior knowledge is required to start a web development training at BeCode. However, you need to get along with computers, to Google well and not shy away from finding a solution for every problem.

For our advanced trainings, AI data operator & DevSecOps, we do require some prior programming knowledge.

To be able to follow our SAP consultant or end-user training, we expect you to have some basic knowledge of logistic business processes, you need to know what SAP consists of and you need to be able to get along with computers and Google.

Check out the training pages for more detail on what’s expected from you.

Self-study together. At BeCode you learn by experimenting. When you are confronted with a problem, you are encouraged to look for a solution via Google or to enlist the help of your fellow students. If the problem is too complex, the coaches will gladly give you some tips, but they will never give you a ready-made solution.

Yes, in order to follow our trainings, you will need to have your own laptop with these technical specifications:

• Junior web developern, SAP end user and SAP consultant: 8gb of RAM.
• AI and DevSecOps: 16gb of RAM.

If you do not own the required material, it’s possible to purchase refurbished laptops at a reduced price on Refurbo, ReMarkt and Refurblaptops.

If your financial means do not enable you to make such a purchase, we invite you to get in touch with us so we can find together the most suitable solution for you.

We do benefit from the support of several companies and associations that provide us with material to help our learners, but in limited quantities.

Registering for a training at BeCode is very easy.

During the programme you will come into contact with various programming languages and you will learn how to immerse yourself further in them. The following languages, among others, are covered:

Github, Sublime Text, Javascript, Node.JS, npm, webpack, Express.JS, React, VueJs, Heroku, MongoDB, PHP, Composer, Slim, Silex, Symphony, Nginx, PHP-FPM.

! The programming languages covered during the training evolve with the needs of the labour market.

Classes take place from Monday to Friday, from 9 am to 5 pm. Given the intensity of our programme, it is therefore not feasible to combine a training course at BeCode with a job.

We ask you to complete these modules/tests so that you can get a better idea of what a job as a web developer, DevOps, AI Data Operator, SAP consultant or SAP end-user is all about. This allows you to make an informed decision before you change your life.

Come to info sessions, workshops and show us your motivation! In anticipation of the selections, it is useful to gain more in-depth knowledge of the field you want to start a career in.

Not at the moment, but Bruxelles Formation and Le Forem do offer a series of online courses within IT.

After we have received your completed registration form, you will be invited to one of our selection days. You will receive this invitation no later than two working days after the registration deadline.

The selections are organised on two consecutive days. On one of these days, you will be invited to meet our three panels and complete a group assignment. Based on the results of all panels, the team will decide whether or not you can start the training. You will be informed of this by email (be sure to check your spam).

In order to give all candidates equal opportunities, we do not accept any more registrations after the end of the registration period. We would like to invite you to register for the next course at that campus or to register for a course at one of our other campuses.

Absolutely! We assume that you have learned a lot since your first enrolment. Our door is wide open for you.

The following trainings are listed by campus on our apply now page. This page is updated regularly, so keep an eye on it if you are interested in starting a training at a specific campus.

Our web development training is given in French or Dutch, but a good spoken and written knowledge of English is recommended as most programming languages rely on it. Our other courses, artificial intelligence, DevSecOps and SAP are given entirely in English, but don’t let this deter you. If you are willing to improve your knowledge of English, the group will be happy to lend you a hand.

Tip: From now on, watch your TV shows and films with English subtitles.

We work closely with VDAB, Actiris, Le Forem and Bruxelles Formation to continuously optimise your learning experience. If you do decide to quit the training, we advise you to discuss with your job counselor what the possible impact of this could be on your unemployment benefit.

• You become ill and are therefore no longer able to follow the programme.
• You find a job with a contract of at least one month.
• You find yourself in a situation of force majeure.

BeCode offers you the opportunity to follow a training in a domain with a lot of future perspective. In order to graduate, we expect you to:

• Actively participate in the group culture that prevails at BeCode so you can improve your tech and soft skills and are able to find a job at the end of the training.
• We also count on you to be present on time every day:
  • Three late attendances are considered as an absence.
  • In case of three absences that cannot be justified, a call for an individual conversation will follow.
  • Six irresponsible absences lead to a definitive exclusion.

At the end of the training you will receive a certificate from Junior Web Developer, AI Data Operator, DevOps, SAP consultant or SAP end-user.

As in everything at BeCode, you are the main actor of your fate, but BeCode is more than happy to help you figure out how to become a freelancer.

• Additional guidance in finding work after BeCode: If you are registered as a jobseeker at Actiris, Bruxelles Formation, Le Forem or VDAB, you are automatically entitled to job search assistance after the training. Both at federal and regional level, many financial instruments are provided to make your recruitment easier.
• A refund of your transport costs: If you have signed a contract at Bruxelles Formation, Forem, Actiris or VDAB, you are entitled to a compensation and flat-rate reimbursement of your transport costs. The specific conditions to be met depend on the institution in question. It is therefore advisable to check this with your file manager.
• Continue to receive your unemployment benefit: If you are currently receiving an unemployment benefit, you will continue to receive it during your training and traineeship. If you do not receive unemployment benefits at the start of the training, but would be eligible for it during the training, this will not change either.
• Being dispensed from work search.

Absolutely, as long as we can see your face. At BeCode we don’t take your gender, your religious beliefs or your background into account.

You may have already experienced it in person, but at BeCode we are not a fan of telephone contact. This is not because we don’t want to talk to you, but the telephone was invented in 1876 and therefore we consider this communication channel rather old-fashioned. We offer you a lot of other possibilities to contact us. (insert hyperlinks)
