FAQ

How do I register?

Fill up the official registration form with your details, learning goals and submit your CV & supporting documents through the form.

Is there a registration fee?

No, this is a fully-sponsored program! CIMB & CIMB Foundation has paid this course for you in full, all you need to do is show up and be ready to learn!

How long is the program?

26 weekdays – rest up on weekends and public holidays! Why 26 days? Because the tech landscape moves faster than a 4-year degree. We condense 12 months of industry evolution into 26 days of high-intensity training, saving you a year of 'trial and error' in the job market.

I don't have a formal education background in tech, can I still join?

You absolutely can! If you have taken courses, don't forget to submit your certificates upon registration.

I don't know much about tech but I want to learn through this program, can I register?
