Practical part

Transfer to development team

Interview

During the interview, we will get to know each other and find out if we are a good match. If we are, you will be invited to an assessment day.

Professional assessment

At the assessment, we are interested in exploring your foundation. We want to find out how you approach computer science problems. The more previous knowledge you have, the more information we have at our disposal to use for the assessment.

We provide you with the themes of our tasks ahead of time so that you can prepare yourself accordingly.

Get Ready

If the assessment day proves that we are a match, we expect you to take initiative to develop some of your basic knowledge. You will expand your programming skills with online programming courses, which include both theory and practice. We will support you with coaching and additional materials. You organize the time for this yourself. This part should be completed within a maximum of two months.

Abacus Check

This is it! During the preparation period, you will have increased your programming knowledge and skills. Your progress and successes have reinforced your decision that a career in computer science is right for you. We will meet for a 1-day exam day where we will review your progress and achievements.

Practical part

If the Abacus check is positive for both sides, there is nothing standing in the way of your career in computer science. You will start at AbaCollege with a full-time workload and continue your education as a programmer.

Transfer to development team

Towards the end of your training as a programmer, you will be assigned to a business unit where you will work on specific projects and become a part of the Abacus success story.
