Frequently asked questions

Admissions

Who are Jedha courses for?

There's no typical profile at Jedha! You don't need to know how to code or have an engineering degree. Thanks to our tiered training system, our courses are accessible to all.

In fact, our students come from a wide range of backgrounds: jobseekers undergoing professional retraining, current professionals looking to upgrade their skills, entrepreneurs and even students. All fields of activity are equally represented.

To find out more, take part in our Soirée Portes Ouvertes, where alumni talk about their training pathways.

Are there any prerequisites for joining the Jedha programs?

The prerequisites for our courses depend on the level you choose:

Essentials: no pre-requisites. We've designed this level of training to start from scratch and be accessible to everyone! Of course, it's advisable not to be put off by mathematics and IT.
Fullstack: to access this level, you'll either need to have completed the Essentials level, which provides all the basics required, or to have the prerequisite knowledge listed on the pages of each Fullstack course. In the latter case, you'll need to take a mini technical test to check your level.
Lead training: admission requires either our Fullstack training or substantial experience in the Data sector.

These different levels of training can be combined to suit your entry level and desired exit level.

What will I be able to do professionally after the courses?

Our programs are designed to help you succeed professionally according to your goals:

Essentials (70 to 75h of training): Discover a new field and develop fundamental skills to determine your interest or improve your relevance in data-related projects.
Fullstack (420 to 450 hours of training): Quickly learn a new trade, master the skills needed to meet today's business needs.

Lead (112h training): Become a recognized expert on data subjects, opening the way to more technical or team management positions.

What salary will I be entitled to?

On average, graduates of our Fullstack training courses in Data and Cyber can expect salaries of €35-45k for their first position. Nevertheless, your first salary after your training at Jedha depends on a number of factors:

your past experience: are you simply upgrading your skills, or retraining completely?
where you work: salaries are higher in the Paris region.
position and company

But the most important thing to remember is that the shortage of Data and Cybersecurity profiles is here to stay. Faced with this, companies are ready to recruit more atypical profiles, and offer attractive salaries.

How far in advance of a session can I register?

The deadline for registering for a training session depends on the financing method chosen:

‍Paymentin one go or in instalments: you can register up to 24 hours before the start of the course.‍

Pedagogy

How many people attend your training courses?

The morning starts at 9:30 with a review of the concepts covered in the previous course, guided by the teacher. At 10 a.m., it's time for the theory class, where new concepts are explored and explained by our teacher. From 11:30 a.m. onwards, you'll have the opportunity to put your newly-acquired notions into practice with simple exercises before the lunch break.

‍
Theafternoon, from 1:30 pm, is dedicated to challenges: advanced practical exercises, simulating professional situations, where you are supported by our coaches. From 4pm onwards, Office Hours allow you to rework the day's lessons and your projects on your own.

What makes Jedha training unique?

Academic excellence: our courses are recognized for their quality and reliability. By the French government, which has recognized our Data Science Designer and Developer certificate, by our students, who give our courses an average mark of 4.96/5, and by Switch Up and Course Report, which have awarded Jedha the "Best Bootcamp" label on several occasions.
Level of support: you're never on your own during your training at Jedha! The ratio of teachers and coaches to students is the highest on the market.
Learning by doing: the Jedha method is based on hands-on experience and professional projects. This makes learning all the more fun and effective, and enables you to get into real-life conditions very quickly.

Logistics

What language are the courses taught in?

Our courses are taught in French, and all our teachers and coaches are French-speaking.

Nevertheless, all the teaching resources (written courses, exercises, projects) on our JULIE e-learning platform are in English. We have made this choice because English is the working language of the majority of Data and Cybersecurity professionals, and it is essential to have a minimum level of English to continue self-training after your time at Jedha. To follow the course, you'll need to be comfortable reading and understanding English content.

Do I have to bring my own computer?

We don't provide computers, so it's essential that you bring your own, powerful machine . For example, to follow our Cybersecurity training courses, you'll need a computer with 8 GB RAM, as well as several dozen GB of available storage space.

Is it possible to follow the training at a distance?

For our full-time courses: you have the freedom to follow the courses in one of three ways: face-to-face, distance learning or a hybrid approach, allowing you to alternate between the two according to your preferences.

All our teachers and coaches teach face-to-face from our premises. But they have also been trained in the use of the tools (camera, microphone, screen, virtual classroom software) needed to offer the most fluid and dynamic hybrid courses possible.

For our part-time courses: Masterclasses and coaching are delivered 100% online, but you're welcome to work in our Paris office if you like.

When will the next sessions take place?

You can find the dates of upcoming training courses on the Training pages of our website:

Data - Essentials (75h)

I will be absent one day, will I be able to make up the lessons?

Our training courses can be adapted to your personal and professional constraints. In the event of a one-off absence, you can catch up on the lessons you've missed on our JULIE e-learning platform! You'll find the day's lesson in written format, plus a video replay recorded by one of our experienced instructors.
