A unique concept
CHANGE IS THE ONLY CONSTANT
Campus 42 is a free training programme designed to prepare people for the jobs in demand within the technology sector.
Rather than focusing on a specific programming language that will quickly become obsolete, 42 provides the tools for you to develop the autonomy that will enable you to tackle the technological changes you will face throughout your professional career.
In fact, Artificial Intelligence is integrated into the 42 curriculum by design, from the fundamentals of programming through to the development of advanced systems. It is not included simply to follow a trend, but because it is part of the present and future of the technology industry.
Furthermore, on campus, rather than having to memorise lessons with no practical application, you’ll work on developing projects and evaluating them collaboratively with other students.
COME AND LEARN HOW TO LEARN
From your very first steps at 42, you’ll have to think for yourself when sitting at a computer. Nobody expects you to be able to do everything straight away; making mistakes isn’t penalised. In fact, mistakes are the best way to learn. At 42, making a mistake is simply an invitation to try again, just like in a video game.
Developing the ability to adapt to change, finding practical solutions to problems, working as part of a team and sharing knowledge are just some of the skills you’ll develop or enhance at 42 campuses.

Frequently asked questions
The Common Core is available in Spanish, but it can also be studied in other languages, including English, French, German and Portuguese. Although it isn’t essential to know any English, it’s true to say that most of the information related to programming is in this language. So, if you come to 42, now’s the time to start using it again or study it from scratch. However, this shouldn’t become an obstacle, as there are students on the campus who’ll know English and be happy to help you.
As long as each person needs. We firmly believe that every student is unique and should be allowed to learn at their own pace.
Completion of the ‘Common Core’ is normally achieved within a timeframe of 12 to 18 months maximum.
In the case of specialisations – from level 8 to 21 – this block lasts up to four and a half years.
The ‘Cursus’ also includes two work placement periods.
Yes, lots of them! The campus is a living space where many things happen, including workshops, hackathons, workshops, talks and so on. Our intention is to enable both students and companies to make proposals to generate high-quality training content and thus add value to the campus.
Our doors are always open for our students! Those who’ve completed their training on our campus can return to continue their studies whenever they like. One of the differential values of the method at 42 is the community.
42 does not offer official academic qualifications within the Spanish formal education system. However, students who complete certain specialisation projects can obtain RNCP certification — Répertoire National des Certifications Professionnelles —, a professional certificate officially recognised by the French Ministry of Labour and valid throughout Europe under the European Qualifications Framework.

The 42 method is based on peer learning, during which the students learn and face challenges on their own and in teams with other students.
It is the official French catalogue of professional certifications. It accredits skills acquired through both work experience and non-formal training and is valid across Europe thanks to the European Qualifications Framework.
In Spain, it has no direct academic equivalent, but it is highly recognised by European companies as proof of advanced professional competence. Furthermore, it includes a Europass supplement detailing learning outcomes and accessible jobs.
As we mentioned above, 42 is based on peer-to-peer learning, during which the environment obliges you to learn how to learn, one of the most important skills that you’ll need to develop. However, there’s a pedagogical team that makes sure that the learning environment functions and that everyone makes progress.
Completing the training will give you access to numerous positions and jobs in the digital world, ranging from startups to world-leading companies, in existing roles and others that are yet to be invented. Try searching online for “jobs in the digital world” and you’ll see what’s out there. At 42 you’ll learn how to learn to enable you to address the challenges in the labour market.
