The first cohort of the 42 Tirana program will start in October 2025.
At 42, we believe in differentiation and inclusivity. The education model focuses on project-based learning and teamwork, rather than theoretical education. As we integrate the latest educational innovations, our goal is to empower the next leading generation of IT talent.
Our students develop a unique mindset that makes them resourceful and adaptable in a world where technologies evolve rapidly and often unexpectedly. With 85% of the jobs that will exist in 2030 not yet invented, our students are self-driven to continue learning and adapting to meet the challenge.
42 gives everyone a chance to receive excellent training in promising trades around the world. Since 2019, after the success of 42 in Paris and other locations, the ambition of 42 is to develop the largest global network of innovative tuition-free IT schools that are accessible to all. Each campus ties strong links with local ecosystems to offer students the 42 pedagogy everywhere, all the time.
The first cohort of the 42 Tirana program will start in October 2025.
The 2025 cohort registrations for 42 Tirana open in February and end in July. However, registrations for 2026 Piscines remain open.
“Piscine” is the French word for “swimming pool.” You will spend one month diving deep into our methods to find out whether 42 really is made for you or not.
We have three (3) Piscines planned for this year. All spots are already filled, and there are no more available places for participation. However, applications remain open for 2026!
| 1st Piscine | June 23 – July 18 |
| 2nd Piscine | July 21 – August 15 |
| 3rd Piscine | September 1-26 |
The Meetings are organized in the months preceding each Piscine. There are no additional Meetings planned for the rest of this year. We encourage you to stay connected and follow our channels for the first meeting dates for 2026 Piscines!
