The registration process

How does it work?

Register

Fill in the registration form to register. This way, we can get to know you a little better.

Selection day

Once the registrations are closed, we will invite you to our selection day and discuss your motivation for this course. This is the fun part!

Success stories to inspire you

We are passionate about helping people like you to blossom.

If I had to describe my adventure at BeCode: It is a very condensed training, which requires a lot of autonomy, and to push one's limits all the time and to surpass oneself, whatever the level at the end, in an encouraging and benevolent framework!

BeCode is really for everyone, as we see the basics from the start, it can be for someone who has never touched code as well as for someone who already has the basics. I would like to move towards the Salesforce module that BeCode offers and then find a company that I feel comfortable with and that suits me in order to work there.

Asking questions is the first way to begin change.

Is BeCode something for me?

Are you looking for work and are you registered at Actiris, Forem, Bruxelles Formation or VDAB?
Are you over 18 years old?
Do you want to learn new skills in order to start working in a sector with a lot of future perspectives
Traditional learning methods are not for you and you need a more hands-on approach?

Then you are more than welcome! Our courses are accessible to everyone. We do not attach any importance to your last diploma, experience, income or age. What interests us is your motivation!
