how much are the course fees?
The courses we offer do not have any fees to be paid by students. And although they do have a cost, this is 100% assumed by our organization. That is why all ComIT students are considered scholarship holders.
IF I DON'T QUALIFY FOR THE SCHOLARSHIP, CAN I STILL PAY TO ATTEND THE COURSE?
No. ComIT is a registered charity, and as so, we work with specific people. We are not a coding academy by any means.
IF I DO NOT HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE IN PROGRAMMING, CAN I TAKE THE COURSE?
Yes. While all prior knowledge helps, the courses are designed to start from scratch. The most important thing is that you put a lot of effort and dedication to learn everything you need to be able to get a job.
DO YOU PROVIDE ANY CERTIFICATE AT THE END OF THE COURSE?
ComIT grants certificates to those students who complete the course, according to the criteria that is communicated at the beginning of it.
IN WHICH CITIES AND DATES ARE THE COURSES BEING HELD?
Courses' dates, schedules and cities will be announced on our social media channels. Follow us on and .

HOW CAN I REGISTER?
Registrations are made exclusively on our website, please click on the 'Apply for a scholarship' button below.
I AM ALREADY REGISTERED ON THE WEBSITE, SHOULD I GO TO THE COURSE?
Please do not attend the course until you receive a confirmation email from our Selection Team. You will not get an answer automatically once you register, as we respect registration order.
I ALREADY REGISTERED IN THE PAST AND NOW I WANT TO RE-REGISTER BUT THE PAGE DOES NOT ALLOW ME.
Our website does not allow duplicate registrations.
If you need to inform any change in your registration information (eg: change in your time availability), please let us know, indicating first and last name, through the contact form in our Contact section.
I'M TRYING TO SIGN IN TO YOUR WEBSITE BUT I'M NOT ABLE TO.
The Sign in section of our website is for graduates only. It is our job search platform and can only be accessed by companies and graduates.
CAN I CHOOSE WHICH COURSE TO TAKE?
No, you can't. ComIT's goal is for beneficiaries to get jobs. In order to do that, we work closely with companies to understand their needs and we train our students in those topics. We are not a coding academy where anyone can register to learn a specific topic.
IS ATTENDANCE MANDATORY?
Yes. The course requires 75% attendance for successful completion.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I DROP OUT OR I CAN'T GET TO 75% ATTENDANCE RATE?
ComIT’s work can be done thanks to donations we receive, and we take our resources seriously. If you drop out from a course or can’t attend 75% of your classes and get expelled, you’ll be banned from any future ComIT courses and events.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER COURSE TIMES AVAILABLE IF I CAN’T MAKE IT AT A CONFIRMED TIME?
No. You were confirmed for the course for which you were contacted because you stated on the registration form that you had the necessary time availability.
IF I WAS SELECTED, WHAT DO I HAVE TO TAKE WITH ME?
It is imperative that you carry your PHOTO ID. Otherwise, you will NOT be able to access the place where the course is being held.
