Frequently Asked Questions
Below you will find answers to our Frequently Asked Questions. If you cannot find what you are looking for, you can always reach out to us at academy.finland@integrify.io
Can I join the Integrify Academy if I am not located in Finland?
You must be a resident of Finland to participate in our Full Stack program. Being temporarily abroad for a short period of time (e.g. for a family visit abroad) is however not a problem, provided a program participant can continue their studies and keep up with the curriculum.
What is the tuition fee in Finland?
There is no tuition fee in Finland and the studies are completely free of charge even if there was no successful employment placement after graduation. However, the overall value of the program is about 9900€, which would need to be compensated in case of breach of contractual terms.
How can I apply to Integrify Academy?
You can apply through this webpage by clicking on any “Apply now” button and filling our application form. We encourage you to provide your CV (as PDF attachment), as well as links to your GitHub and LinkedIn profiles.
After applying, how soon can I expect to hear back from you?
If your profile matches our minimum qualifications for the program, we will invite you to complete a short technical test. Our response may take from a few minutes to a couple of days.
What would be the reason for not being accepted into the program?
Decisions are always made on a case by case basis. However, the most common reasons are insufficient technical skills, lack of relevant background, location outside of Finland, or poor communication and English language skills.
Communication and soft skills
We place a high value on individuals with strong communication and soft skills, making your proficiency in these areas a key factor in the selection process.
- Exceptional communication abilities, both verbal and written
- Strong problem-solving and critical-thinking skills
- Ability to work effectively in a team and collaborate with diverse groups
Language skills
Proficiency in English (both spoken and written) is essential to ensure effective communication with teachers, colleagues and team members.
- Additional language proficiency such as Finnish, is a plus
Technical skills
Our program is built for those who already have some experience in tech. Thus having at least 1 year of coding experience is essential to succeed in our program.
- Proficiency with necessary tools and technologies
- Proof of continuous learning and skill development in the tech field
Commitment
The program demands full-time dedication due to its intensity, making it imperative that you are able to fully commit to its requirements.
- Demonstrated dedication to long-term goals and career development
- Full focus is essential to succeed in our program, committing to the full-time studies is a must
- Willingness to engage in continuous learning and adapt to evolving technologies and methodologies
Background
We are seeking individuals with prior coding experience, and it is crucial that your background aligns with our specified requirements.
- Relevant educational qualifications, preferably in a field related to technology or business
- Prior experience in the tech industry or a related field
- A portfolio and/or demonstrable projects showcasing relevant skills and creativity
It might not be the best time to apply if:
- You are not able to commit 5 days a week from 9 to 17
- You are currently enrolled in full-time university studies and actively participating in lectures
- You have less than 1 year of coding experience and you are in the early stages of building your portfolio
Is Integrify Academy for beginners?
Our Full Stack programs in Finland are intensive and rather advanced. You are a perfect fit if you have a passion for programming, good Github portfolio, active coding experience, and relevant education background.
How long does the program last?
Our programs last from 3 to 4 months and typically include a Front-end module and a Back-end module. Please note that the curriculum varies from cohort to cohort.
How much time do I need to reserve per week?
Our programs consist of remote lectures held in the morning during the workdays (i.e. Monday to Friday), which requires between 15 to 20 hours of attendance per week, excluding self-study and assignments. In addition, our students receive one-on-one support in their job-seeking activities, interview preparations, and portfolio building. The exact workload will be different for each individual student.
Can I (continue to) receive unemployment benefits during the training?
The decision is made by TE-office on a case by case basis. Please contact TE-office for more details.
Where do your training materials come from?
All of our training materials are developed in-house. Our technical curricula are constructed by our team of expert developers with decades of combined industry experience who, themselves, have previously gone through programs at Integrify Academy. Our career support materials are designed by our Career Growth Specialists, who have successfully supported hundreds of students to land jobs in the field.
What’s the teaching format like?
All our programs are completely online with daily live lectures. Lectures are hosted through Zoom, and communications between students with Integrify and each other are primarily done through Slack. Our Instructors and Teaching Assistants will also be conducting code reviews through GitHub.
Can I join on a part-time basis or in the evenings?
Our programs are fast-paced and intensive, and we do require regular attendance to keep up with the curriculum. As the remote lectures are held during the mornings, availability during that time is a prerequisite for being selected. Furthermore, as you are studying in a cohort, some group work may be scheduled during the times that are not subject to change for individual students. However, under exceptional circumstances, you can discuss with our Instructors and Community Specialists the possibility to arrange a more flexible study plan for you.
What if I get a job during the program?
Every student will have a 2-week probation period at the start of the program, when they can leave the program at no cost. After the probation period ends students are obliged to adhere to the terms and conditions of the contract. We instruct our students to be transparent about potential career opportunities. If you get a job during the program without Integrify’s consent, you will be obliged to cover the tuition fee in full (9900€).
Can I take some time off for health, family, or work-related reasons?
Our team understands that there are situations in life where you may need to take a break from studies. If that’s the case, please reach out to us to discuss how we can adjust the study plan to work around your personal circumstances.
