BeCode’s pedagogical framework

First of all, people learn by doing, by applying their skills on concrete projects, by working in a team. They emphasise a lot the meta-learning: learning how to learn in a technical context as well as helping themselves by helping others! Although they play hard, strict rules have been elaborated in order to ease and protect the learning process for the group and help everyone develop the right soft skills: being a reliable team player, eager to learn and with a great solution mindset.

Their Goal: BeCode is a social impact-driven digital skills and coding school, using an active pedagogy to teach in-demand digital skills to motivated individuals in vulnerable professional situations, helping these untapped talents to meet the needs of the job market.

Proud to share that 75% has a “positive outcome” 6-months after their internship that followed the bootcamp.
