Demystifying Tech Tests
Tue, 7th May | 18:30 - 21:00 BST (GMT+01:00)

  • Have you been learning to programme for a while but have no idea how to tackle a tech test?
  • Have you found the idea of a tech test terrifying to the point where it has put you off applying for a job?
  • Have you been wondering what companies are looking for when they assess your tech test?
If you’ve answered yes to all or any one of these questions, this workshop is for you!

You will get a chance to work with coaches on a sample tech test (you can choose from a few we will have on offer) in a language of your choice. It will be an opportunity to get a better understanding of what tech tests are and learn some ‘best practices’ to tackling one. You can find some of the tests you can work on here.

Ideally, you will already have some basic knowledge of programming in one language. However, everyone is welcome as long as you are keen to learn!

What To Bring
