What is the instruction language?
Because the majority of tech jobs in Switzerland require mainly English language skills. Therefore, we use English as the course instruction language. However, part of the project/product management course is in German.
What is the application process?
A successful application takes only two steps. Step 1: Visit the apply page and fill out your information. Step 2: We will conduct a short (15-20 min) interview and make the final decision. The whole process should take only one week.
Can I take the course if I reside outside Switzerland?
Yes, you can. We encourage students from all across the world to apply, especially EU citizens. Our course programs will help you set a solid first step into the job market in Switzerland. However, for the networking event, we do recommend you come physically to attend.
Can I still cancel the course after the start?
You can cancel the course before the second course day and get a full refund. After that, you cannot cancel and get refunded anymore.
Is FrontStar a coding bootcamp?
We are much more than a coding boot camp. FrontStar is career oriented. It takes more than coding skills to ace the interview for any good position. Additionally, it is challenging to survive in the workplace with only coding skills. Our holistic course will equip you with all the elements to succeed in your career goal.
How do you compare FrontStar with a university degree program in computer science or data science?
Having from top universities and held various senior management/leadership positions, our teachers understand the gap between academia and industry. This gap led us to found FrontStar: to provide premium technology education for careers. Our courses have the right amount of theories and practices to help you gain real work experience.
How do you compare FrontStar's management programs with an MBA?
MBA programs are longer, more expensive, and more general. They teach you a lot of theories that you might not find very useful for your future career: either not applicable to tech careers or obsolete practices. Our management courses are contexted in the modern tech industry. It is more career-driven and fit-for-purpose.
