Once you’ve decided on the correct course for you, submit an online application form. After that, we will interview you to get to know you better and to assess suitability. A final tech interview will follow, where we assess your ability to understand the concepts covered in the programme.
The sooner, the better! We keep our classes small to ensure the best teacher-student ratio and to be able to offer more one-on-one interaction, so our classes fill up quickly. You will also need at least two weeks to complete the pre-work assignments and revisions before lectures start.
You can learn most things online nowadays. However, self-study often takes longer and fails to keep most students motivated. With Maven Academy, you get world-class mentorship and support, as well as access to teachers and other like-minded individuals. What’s more, our students have access to our Work, Learn, and Earn, where we pair expert remote developers alongside recently graduated candidates on real-world jobs. Most of our interns are selected for a permanent position once they complete their internship program, however this depends on your performance.
Yes! We are proud of our unique approach to helping financially disadvantaged students benefit from our life-changing programs. Check out our Income Share Agreement programme, where we allow a select few students learn for just R1! Click here for more information.
Yes! When you graduate from our programme, you'll be equipped with the tools and skills necessary to develop a full web application on your own.
Yes it’s possible, but not without hard work. Maven Academy will provide you with the tools—educational materials, teachers, mentors, and ongoing support—it’s up to you to use these tools to create a new career for yourself.
Yes, you do. If you are doing the full stack web development programme, it doesn’t matter what OS you're running, although we'd prefer if it were a Mac or Linux laptop less than five years old.
Our admission processes are built with fail-safes that ensure all the students of one class move in cohesion. The goal of our admissions process is to select a team of people who will learn at approximately the same pace. Our pre-work assignment also ensures that everyone starts with a similar foundational knowledge. That being said, some people will naturally move faster than others, but our curriculum is designed to adapt to each student’s individual needs.
That depends on your objective. If you’re in the market for a developer job, the fun doesn’t stop once you graduate! We have a unique Work, Learn, and Earn that you may qualify for.
Our full-time programmes require around 40 hours per week. Classes are from Monday to Friday, typically from 9:00am until 6:00pm, with a one-hour lunch break. However, once the class is over, you may continue to work on exercises and personal projects alongside your colleagues. On Fridays, you will complete an assessment exercise that reviews all the topics covered in that week, and gives you an idea of your progress (and whether you need to catch up on your studies over the weekend). Ideally, you will practice a healthy work/life balance by accomplishing all of your work within “business hours”, so you can relax and let everything soak in to your brain as you rest.
ISA repayment schedules are the same no matter where in the world your job is, you just have to be making a salary of at least R15,000.
If you want to pay off your Income Share Agreement early you can do so by making a lump sum payment. To pay off your ISA you will be required to pay the payment cap of R48,000
The Maven Academy goes into an a financial agreement with your future employer. We will therefore manage your monthly salary payments.
While it’s our experience, and our intention, that the majority of our students receive an internship offer after graduation, we cannot guarantee that everyone will be placed in an internship.
On average, internships run from one to three months.
Most of our interns are selected for a permanent position once they complete their internship program, however this is not guaranteed. Whether or not you are awarded a permanent position is entirely dependent on your own performance.
Yes, however, the salaries may vary based on the company that sponsors you.
Maven Academy will review your individual needs and the position you have been placed in, and assign you to a code mentor that will work alongside you for the duration of your internship. This individual will be based in South Africa, India, or Ukraine.
Previous exposure to coding is essential, whether it’s self-taught, through on-the-job learning, or from a college or an online course. Our programmes move through lots of important information over a relatively short period of time, and they’re created on the premise that students already have a foundational knowledge of coding, as well as a genuine interest and extreme motivation to learn efficiently.
As one of the most popular programming languages in the world, JavaScript operates on a wide variety of platforms and devices. It’s an essential language for web development and front- and back-end development. JavaScript is also one of the most sought-after technologies today, which translates into great career opportunities and massive earning potential. Because JavaScript has been around for so long and is so prolific in the industry, there is a large and highly engaged developer community willing to mentor junior programmers and help others learn from their past experiences.
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript. It is used by professional developers to write effective, scalable, enterprise-grade code. TypeScript compiles down to JavaScript for final deployment to the browser, but there are a few unique advantages that make it worth learning and using. Google ships Angular 8 with TypeScript as the default language, and students will become intimately familiar with its effective use in professional software development, giving them a leap forward in the industry as they enter the workforce.
Yes! Our full stack web development programme will help elevate your career in tech. You will learn software development best practices, SOLID principles and how to use professional tools like GitHub, and the workflows most relevant in many startups and software companies. Additionally, you will be able to find your way around other technologies that are useful in the workplace, namely Mongo, Express, Angular and Node.
It’s best to be entirely dedicated to the programme so you’re able to absorb and learn all the information we share with you over 12 weeks. Due to the sheer amount of work covered, it’s not possible to juggle other major responsibilities during the programme.
