Welcome to the 42 programming campus, where the only constant is change.
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.

42 does not offer an official academic qualification 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.
It’s an educational model that enables students to learn from each other through collaborative work, sharing and overcoming challenges and, above all, evaluating each other.
At 42 we don’t teach our students how to resolve a specific problem or use a tool. The study plan is designed so that they can learn about and understand the tools that they use. After 42 they have the ability to resolve difficult problems, because they’ve developed critical thinking and teamwork to seek and share knowledge. The 42 method isn’t confined to a specific technology, as it changes every year. Developing and maintaining relevant skills throughout a career is one of the goals of our programme.
This kind of learning increases knowledge of a subject by means of active exploration of real-world challenges and problems. You learn by doing and thinking critically, rather than by following instructions and memorising.
There are two compulsory internships. The first one has to be completed once the common core has been passed and it can take place at all kinds of companies, ranging from technology companies to startups, and in any position or job profile. The second one must be completed in a position or profile related to technology and the learning at 42. Most importantly, each student decides at which company and when he/she wants to complete them.
