What is the Piscine?

CodeYourFuture's Piscine is an intensive 22-day assessment course designed for trainees who have completed the Intro to Programming (ITP) and wish to join the Software Development Course (SDC). 

By completing the Piscine, you'll gain hands-on experience in project development, teamwork, and independent coding. You'll also improve your ability to articulate technical concepts, a crucial skill in the tech industry.

During the Piscine, you'll work on three projects: two group projects and one solo project. 

For each project, your tasks will be to:

1. Build a complete project that meets all requirements, including tests
2. Develop a thorough understanding of all the code in your project, as you'll need to explain it

The Piscine aims to identify candidates ready to train as professional software engineers. The program assesses your ability to:

1. Collaborate in a team to build working software with tests
2. Write simple code independently
3. Clearly explain your work in English

These core goals reflect the skills needed for success in the CYF Software Development Course and as a future software engineer.

This course serves as a bridge between your initial programming knowledge and the more advanced training in the Software Development Course, helping you and CodeYourFuture determine your readiness for the next step in your tech career.
