Instead of having a certain background, education or degree, we expect applicants to be visionaries who are motivated and committed to the study program. Having said that, we request that applicants are at least 17 by the time they start in the selection Piscine.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"What type of skills do I need to be successful?","answer":"
You need logical thinking skills and a problem-solving attitude. You need to be able to adapt and overcome difficulties, be proactive, curious, creative, thorough, and be able to collaborate.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"Do I have to know the basics of coding before I apply?","answer":"
Not at all! Since the first batch that started at 42KL in 2021, 60% had no experience in coding and 24% only knew basic coding prior to applying to 42KL. There\u2019s no evidence those who have coding background do significantly better at the selection Piscine than those who didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"I am already a coder, why should I apply?","answer":"
42KL offers a programme with a world class curriculum that challenges students with projects of increased complexity. Every problem is unique and requires you to think out of the box, with other talented and motivated peers.

42KL is a school based on peer-to-peer learning, in which students learn and discover by themselves and with peers. The environment forces you to learn how to learn which to us is one of the most important skill to develop. There is, however, a pedagogical team that makes sure the learning environment works and that students are progressing.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"What does \"peer-to-peer\" learning mean?","answer":"
Peer-to-peer learning is an education model where students learn from each other instead of learning from an appointed teacher. It emphasises critical thinking, teamwork and communication. Students also evaluate each other and learn from explaining to peers.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"What does \"project-based learning\" mean?","answer":"
In project-based learning, students gain a deeper knowledge of a subject through active exploration of real-world challenges and problems. They learn by doing and thinking critically, rather than by following instructions and memorising.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"Who assesses the quality of projects if there are no teachers?","answer":"
Projects will be assessed by a student\u2019s peers using a grading sheet and general guidelines provided by the educational staff. Students must be able to explain their code to the evaluator in such a way that the evaluator understands, even if they have no prior knowledge going into the evaluation. A student\u2019s grade will be determined by how well their code works and how well they can explain it. If you can\u2019t explain it, you don\u2019t understand it well enough. – Albert Einstein.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"What does the curriculum include?","answer":"
You start building a base in the C programming language and fundamental programming concepts. As you progress towards your industry placement, you can explore introductory branches in UNIX, graphics and web programming. After that, the curriculum will include deeper projects in many fields of computer science: Object Oriented programming, Mobile programming, Functional programming, Web security, Reverse engineering, Malicious Code, Kernel programming, Network programming, Artificial intelligence, 3D programming, and many other areas of programming and IT.\u00a0You will also be learning and utilising the git system throughout the programme even from Day 1 of the Piscine.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"Why do you start with C language in 42KL?","answer":"
During their basic studies at 42KL students learn the fundamentals of coding. C language provides an effective base for this. Through learning the language in their basic studies students get an understanding of how to think like a coder. C as a language also demands the coder to be independent and to understand how the code works on a fundamental level. After learning the ins and outs of C, students will understand what lies beneath any coding concept and how they really work.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"How is the curriculum structured?","answer":"
42KL shares the proven curriculum of Ecole 42 in Paris. There are more than a hundred projects laid out as a tree. When you complete a project, you move to the next one, until you can choose from different paths and discover multiple aspects of programming and IT. Each student’s experience is unique, as they experiment with projects and choose to follow different specialisation paths in the extended curriculum.<\/p>\n
In addition, at 42KL we work with our Anchor Partners to come up with localised challenges and projects for students to take up throughout the programme.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"How is the curriculum gamified?","answer":"
You progress in the curriculum by completing projects and getting points. With these points you level up and unlock more projects and specialization branches. You can also master different skills, complete quests and achievements. Students can compare their levels to know how far they are in the curriculum.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"How do you keep the curriculum current?","answer":"
The original curriculum was created in 2013 by Ecole 42\u2019s team, which consists of veterans in the computer science educational field in France. It has evolved since then through the contribution of educational staff in Paris and other schools around the world, co-operation with companies and even students.<\/p>\n
Every quarter of the year, the pedagogical committee consisting of educational staff from all 42 campuses get together to discuss and execute updates to the curriculum based on current industry trends.<\/p>\n"}]}],"image":{"ID":142,"id":142,"title":"teacher","filename":"teacher.svg","filesize":4082,"url":"https:\/\/42kl.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/teacher.svg","link":"https:\/\/42kl.edu.my\/bm\/home-page\/teacher\/","alt":"","author":"3","description":"Used in About Us","caption":"","name":"teacher","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":52,"date":"2021-10-28 13:08:09","modified":"2021-11-01 12:47:42","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/svg+xml","type":"image","subtype":"svg+xml","icon":"https:\/\/42kl.edu.my\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":0,"height":0,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/42kl.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/teacher.svg","thumbnail-width":1,"thumbnail-height":1,"medium":"https:\/\/42kl.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/teacher.svg","medium-width":1,"medium-height":1,"medium_large":"https:\/\/42kl.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/teacher.svg","medium_large-width":1,"medium_large-height":1,"large":"https:\/\/42kl.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/teacher.svg","large-width":1,"large-height":1,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/42kl.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/teacher.svg","1536x1536-width":1,"1536x1536-height":1,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/42kl.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/teacher.svg","2048x2048-width":1,"2048x2048-height":1,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/42kl.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/teacher.svg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":1,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":1}}},{"title":"The Piscine","content":[{"title":"The Piscine","accordion":[{"question":"What is the Piscine?","answer":"
The Selection Piscine, or just Piscine, is a four week long trial period. During the Piscine, you will discover the basics of coding from scratch. No prerequisites of any kind are needed: no previous degrees, no coding experience. This period will be very intensive and requires commitment, so don\u2019t expect laid-back weekends\u2026 There is no fixed amount (quota) of applicants to be selected from each Piscine. This means there is no competition between applicants and anyone can be selected \u2013 as long as they can swim.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"Why is the selection process called the Piscine?","answer":"
The word \u201cPiscine\u201d is the French word for \u201cswimming pool\u201d, meaning that everyone dives into the deep end of coding and learn how to swim together.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"What happens if someone does not get selected after the Piscine? Can they try again?","answer":"
The Piscine is designed in a way that both the candidate and 42KL can validate if this educational model is the right fit. If a candidate is not accepted into 42KL after the Piscine, we advise them to try a different learning program. This is not the only way to learn to code!<\/p>\n
Having said that, you are still allowed to try out the Piscine again one year after the first trial. You can make a maximum of two attempts in your lifetime.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"What if I want to quit the Piscine in the middle?","answer":"
That is totally okay! Applicants are free to leave the admissions process at any point. You can just walk out, with no strings attached. Although the educational staff would really appreciate learning the reasons why. Who knows, maybe talking it through with someone can change your mind!<\/p>\n"},{"question":"If I pass the Piscine, do I need to enroll in 42KL in the same year?","answer":"
Yes. The beginning of your Core Programme studies is a continuation of the Piscine, so it is much better for you not to interrupt the learning process. Nonetheless, if you know you might not be able to enroll in the school right after the Piscine, it would be fair to leave the spot from someone who is eager to start, and join a later kick-off date.<\/p>\n
You can always discuss this with the 42KL staff members for other arrangements.<\/p>\n"}]}],"image":{"ID":137,"id":137,"title":"piscine","filename":"piscine.svg","filesize":3765,"url":"https:\/\/42kl.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/piscine.svg","link":"https:\/\/42kl.edu.my\/bm\/how-to-apply\/piscine\/","alt":"","author":"3","description":"","caption":"","name":"piscine","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":47,"date":"2021-10-28 13:08:08","modified":"2021-11-05 06:59:17","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/svg+xml","type":"image","subtype":"svg+xml","icon":"https:\/\/42kl.edu.my\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":0,"height":0,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/42kl.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/piscine.svg","thumbnail-width":1,"thumbnail-height":1,"medium":"https:\/\/42kl.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/piscine.svg","medium-width":1,"medium-height":1,"medium_large":"https:\/\/42kl.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/piscine.svg","medium_large-width":1,"medium_large-height":1,"large":"https:\/\/42kl.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/piscine.svg","large-width":1,"large-height":1,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/42kl.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/piscine.svg","1536x1536-width":1,"1536x1536-height":1,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/42kl.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/piscine.svg","2048x2048-width":1,"2048x2048-height":1,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/42kl.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/piscine.svg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":1,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":1}}},{"title":"Job Prospects","content":[{"title":"Job Prospects","accordion":[{"question":"Do I receive an official degree when I finish?","answer":"
At 42KL, you do not receive an accredited degree, as this educational model is new in Malaysia and does not correspond to any traditional definition. However, we do not believe this to be a problem in the technology sector, given that companies tend to only care about what you can do, who you are and how you work. Our anchor partners consisting of reputable corporate companies and startups are all waiting in line to hire graduates from 42KL.<\/p>\n
During the programme, you build your own personal portfolio. Upon graduation, you\u2019ll receive a certificate as proof that you completed the program. In our partner school 42, 100% of graduates are well-employed. Many students already get offers from companies in the early stage of their studies. Lastly, we want to add that in tech, you never stop learning. It is constantly evolving, and so will you!<\/p>\n"},{"question":"When I graduate, will I spend my career behind a computer?","answer":"
Would you like to? If so, this is definitely possible. But it is more likely that you will develop new skills and interests and find other digital-related positions. Companies and organisations in all industries are affected by technology and digital transformation. More often than not, these roles are multi-disciplinary and require you to collaborate in teams.<\/p>\n
Many of the graduates from the 42 Network have also ventured into building their own companies by teaming up with other 42 graduates.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"What kind of jobs will I be able to apply for?","answer":"
Completing the course gives you access to many positions and jobs in the digital world, from startups to worldwide leading companies – in existing roles or those yet to be invented.

With the skills you acquire at\u00a042KL <\/strong>and peers whom you\u2019ll work with on a daily basis, you may even decide to build your own company. 30% of students in Ecole 42 have done just that.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"How does 42KL prepare me for a career in the tech world?","answer":"At 42KL, we won\u2019t teach you how to solve a specific problem, or how to use a tool. The curriculum will teach you how to learn and to understand the tools you use. After 42KL, you will have the ability to solve hard problems, because you\u2019ll be used to thinking critically, seeking and sharing knowledge. We will not lock you into a specific technology. Technology changes every year anyway. You will be able to develop and maintain relevant skills throughout your career.<\/p>\n"},{"question":"Will you help me find an industry placement?","answer":"
It is key to your learning process that you do your own research and find suitable industry placements required to validate the program independently. 42KL has partnered with great companies who are committed to providing placement for our students. However, those are limited opportunities and students are still required to show initiative and go through the company’s selection process.<\/p>\n
We strongly recommend that students pursue career paths they are passionate about. We\u2019ll support this by offering a great education and regular opportunities to meet up with companies and organisations through various activities (hackathons, speakers, workshops, etc.)<\/p>\n"},{"question":"Can I come back to the school even after graduation?","answer":"
Yes! Once a student in 42KL, our doors will always be open for you!
