FAQ
Does it make sense to join if I’m already a Computer Science student or graduate?
Yes. Many of our students are computer science graduates or graduates of similar degrees. The Masterschool program, in contrast to traditional degree programs, focuses on hands-on job training and skills: what you actually need to get a job in tech.
Masterschool bridges the gap between education and the job market. Through our School Masters, who are industry experts in their field, and our Career Accelerator program, which includes partnerships with leading companies and employers, we do everything in our power to make sure you are equipped with exactly what the market needs.
Are the programs online or in-person?
Our programs are all 100% online and we host live classes and events each week, but they are recorded, which allows our students to learn flexibly on their own time throughout the week. Students can join live or watch them later at their convenience.
There’s hundreds of hours of self-learning content with access to the world’s leading training platforms, so you can learn more and dig deeper into lessons as you like and at your pace.
Do I need an academic degree or prior knowledge to apply?
No. No prior knowledge in a particular field of study is required to apply. We’ve learned that this is not necessarily the best indicator of success and instead we look for candidates who are motivated, with grit, determination, and aptitude, regardless of previous knowledge or experience. However, in order to excel in Masterschool’s programs, you will need basic computer literacy skills, and at least a high school level of mathematics, be comfortable learning in English and be comfortable working in a digital environment with technical tools and with numbers.
Will you help me find a job?
We do everything necessary to help you find a job. After all, this is a partnership. Your success is our success! While we will help you find job opportunities and network, we will not place you in a job.
This partnership requires both sides to work their hardest to get what we are driving towards, you finding a job in tech.
This includes workshops, personal mentorship, global hiring partners, which include the world’s best tech companies, and much more.
Even after you’re hired, we will continue to support you. If you need help with finding a new job, a salary negotiation, asking for a promotion or anything else, we are here to help you. Our ultimate goal is that you continue to succeed beyond your first job in tech, and we see ourselves as long term partners.
Are the studies held entirely in English?
Yes, all of the content is in English. This includes the live classes, our virtual Campus and learning platforms, and the 1:1 guidance you’ll receive from our team.
Will I be able to work during the program?
Yes, Masterschool’s programs allow you to study the material flexibly and manage your own schedule. We highly recommend watching the live classes on a regular basis to help you stay on track with your training. In terms of time commitment, successful students put about 15-20 hours into the program each week. Learn more about that here.
Our training program is designed to fit seamlessly into even the busiest of schedules, with a combination of weekly live sessions and self-learning tasks. We integrate learner autonomy with a supportive environment, to ensure that our students stay on track toward success.
We’ve placed hundreds of graduates in the world’s biggest tech companies, so we know exactly what you need to do to become the candidate every company wants to hire.
You will acquire hands-on experience that makes you job-ready, and you’ll graduate with an industry-relevant portfolio that will impress potential employers.
Learn from industry experts
Because you are learning from accomplished experts who work in the industry today and because our curriculum is constantly being updated in response to the latest trends and patterns in the workforce, our programs teach you what you really need to know to get a job in tech – and leave out what you don’t.
Online, flexible schedule
Our programs are online and designed to accommodate busy schedules, and even the occasional missed week. The programs are flexible, yet with our minimum 15 hours/week requirement, they are intensive enough to prepare students well for their new career and get them job-ready in a relatively short amount of time.
We offer extra help and private sessions with academic instructors for students who need a bit more support.
Live classes
Aside from self-paced learning, coding exercises or labs, quizzes, and projects, each program offers weekly live lectures with today’s experts. Live lectures allow students to learn interactively, ask questions in real time, and study with a real class. Live sessions are always recorded and available for those who prefer learning alone or are unable to attend the session live.
24/7 support
Masterschool is designed with layers of support so that you never feel alone or overwhelmed. Each program offers live sessions, study halls, and active chatrooms so that you are always able to ask academic questions in real time.

FAQ: Career support
We do everything necessary to help you find a job. While we will help you find job opportunities and network, we will not place you in a job.
The career support includes workshops, personal mentorship, global hiring partners, which include the world’s best tech companies, and much more.
Even after you’re hired, we will continue to support you. If you need help with finding a new job, a salary negotiation, asking for a promotion or anything else, we are here to help you.

Our programs are designed for people who want to start looking for a new job immediately after they graduate. However, students who may need some more time after graduation before they start looking for a job, can reach out to our team. We will consider your unique situation and try to help.
It depends on the determination and efforts each student dedicates to his or her job search, but most of our students generally secure jobs within weeks or months after they begin their job search. We will support you in your job search no matter how long it takes and are happy to assist you in the future if you are looking to change jobs.
In our experience, students who put their efforts in continuing to develop professionally during the Career Accelerator program tend to shine brighter during the job-hunting process.
We have already helped hundreds of talented, motivated graduates find new careers in leading tech companies all over the world. However, finding your first job in tech is hard, and you will need to work hard to make it happen. If you are ready to dedicate the time and effort and build a new career in tech, we truly believe Masterschool is the best way to get you there, and get you there quickly.
Although we cannot place you in a job ourselves, we’re dedicated to helping you succeed and finding a new role you love no matter how long it takes, as long as you are committed to putting in the hard work.
