How to apply

The Academy application process always focuses on motivation, personality, and the desire and ability to learn new things quickly – in other words, potential – regardless of your educational background.

Academy application process – this is how it works

01

Apply

Click 'Start application' and register by providing your contact information, an up-to-date CV, and a short, concise motivation letter. Briefly explain in the letter what interests you about a new career, why you are applying for the training, and what transferable skills or qualities you have that could be useful in your new career.

02

Test

The test phase includes two online tests: a personality test and a logical reasoning test. These help us better understand your full potential and ensure a fair and objective selection process. In the Academy application, you must reach a certain minimum level to proceed to the next stage of the application process.

03

Phone interview

Our recruiters invite the most potential applicants for a short phone interview, where we will explain the training content and related terms in more detail. We will also tell you more about the potential client company. This is also a good opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have.

04

Interview

At this stage, we get to know your personality fit and motivation more deeply, and evaluate your suitability for the Academy training as well as the future job role.

05

References

We will ask you for two references. Your reference can be, for example, your supervisor, colleague, partner, coach, or even a customer.

06

Client interview

When we recruit directly for a client assignment, you will get to meet the potential client company at this point. For some of our training programs, we also recruit open consultants, in which case this stage is not carried out.

07

Job offer

If you make it this far: Congratulations! 🎉 This is the final stage where we finalize the details. After this, you can start preparing for your new career!
