Frequently Asked Questions

What are the core prerequisites for applying to The Data School Germany?

A completed university degree (Bachelor’s or Master’s in any discipline) or completed vocational training is required. Beyond this, professional fluency in both German and English (minimum B2 level in both languages) is mandatory for client project delivery across the DACH region. Prior experience in software engineering, advanced mathematics, or coding is not required.

How does hiring work in practice? ​

Instead of screening candidates solely on academic grades or previous job titles, our admissions process evaluates your individual analytical approach. Through your original Tableau Public application dashboard, we observe how you formulate questions, structure raw data and communicate visual insights clearly to business stakeholders. ​

When can I submit my application for upcoming cohorts? ​

Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year as new cohorts start at regular intervals. Because building and refining your Tableau Public dashboard requires time, we recommend starting your preparation early.
