Applications for the Elixirr Academy in South Africa and Croatia are open!

To apply, start by selecting the “Elixirr Academy” location and submit your CV as part of the application process. Be sure to include details about your background, work experience, and any extra courses or projects you’ve completed, whether in school or independently. If you’re a self-taught developer looking to break into IT, feel free to share your GitHub portfolio – we’d love to see your work!

We also include some screening questions in the application form. Since a CV alone doesn’t always capture your interests, expectations, and future goals, we’d appreciate your insights here!

To ensure top quality, we limit the number of participants, so our selection process helps us find the best candidates.

The first step is a conversation with HR, where you can showcase your skills, motivation, and why you’re a great fit for the Elixirr Digital Academy. This discussion also includes an assessment of your English speaking abilities.

The next stage involves an interview with our tech experts and HR to gauge your tech skills, programming knowledge, and your demonstrated interest in the field of computer science. While we don’t expect candidates to be experts, we’re looking for individuals who have shown interest in programming and technology, either through tutorials, personal projects, or independent learning. This helps us make sure that you have the curiosity and foundation needed to thrive in our curriculum.

Requirements to join the course include an active interest in data and  AI field, programming, demonstrated through prior efforts like completing tutorials, personal projects, or studies. Plus, basic knowledge of SQL and Python and English proficiency at level B2 or above are preferred.

We personally review each application, so the process may take some time. If you haven’t heard from us yet, there’s no need to follow up—we’ll contact you if your application moves to the next stage. We understand this can be frustrating but rest assured that every CV is carefully considered.

The future is digital and the future is now. Equip yourself with SQL, Python and AWS skills at the Academy and lead the data revolution!

It is really worth your time. During these few weeks I have learned a lot about data processing and analysis and have gotten a real insight into what working on real industry projects look like. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in data analytics.

If you can grab this opportunity with both arms, do your best to learn as much as you can and to make connections that can help you in the future.
