SE Factory

We operate 3 program cycles per year, and we announce open applications on our website and Facebook page. When applications are open, the interested candidate would fill an online application request form before the stated deadline. The SE Factory team will then review the request, and if approved you will receive the actual application form. Once the application is submitted, a screening and/or a personal interview will be scheduled with the SE Factory team. Candidates who pass the interview stage will then undertake a technical skills assessment, after which the program's team will decide acceptance. Applicants will be notified of the program team's decision whether accepted or rejected. Q2. What are the exact criteria to apply? To be highly motivated and hard-working. To have studied the basics of computer science which is typically the case for Computer Science or Computer Engineering university graduates. However we accept applications from all students who can demonstrate knowledge of the fundamental topics of Computer Science (Algorithms and Datastructures, Database theory, Networking and Operating systems, Programming Languages theory etc.) whether they have a degree in the field or not. This program does not teach the basics of programming. To have a maximum of 1 semesters left if you are still earning your University degree. If you have more, focus on your studies we will be here when you are done. To speak, read and write basic English. To be 18 years old and above To be able to commit full time for 3 months, all weekdays from 10am to 7pm Q3. Can I have a job or study during the 3 months of the program? The program is very intensive and demanding, it is from Monday to Friday 10:00am till 7:00pm. It requires a significant investment of your time, so we believe it is most suitable for those who have complete free time. Q4. How much does the program cost? If you get accepted, the total cost for the 3 months is 100$ per person only! Moreover, if you refer an applicant that also gets accepted, each of you pays only $50. Our program is funded through sponsorships and grants, and is part of a non-for-profit initiative. Charging students high tuition costs goes against our mission to increase accessibility for technical education in the country. Q5. Are only Lebanese nationals accepted in the program? Participation is not confined to Lebanese nationals, but a key here is to focus on filling the demand gap for skilled software developers in Lebanon and contributing to keeping bright minds in the country. Therefore, preference is given to participants who are able to legally work in Lebanon after the program. Q6. What is the general program structure? The program consists of a 3-month intensive training in web development, on Monday to Friday each week from 10-7pm. The program also includes soft skills training, which comprises ~20% of the training. Please refer to our syllabus for detailed information.
