You will need at least basic HTML / CSS and Javascript skills to qualify for a Chingu Voyage. Know more than that? Chingu has you covered! Our Voyages have three different tiers separated by skill level (beginners, intermediate, advanced) so you can work in the Tier you are most comfortable in. We also require you to complete a Solo Project prior to starting your first Voyage so you can discover what Tier you best fit into. TLDR - We encourage people at any level (including beginners) to join, as our Solo Projects are designed to inspire / help people gain the skills they need to be eligible to join.
Yes, every week we see members getting a job. Members who have successfully completed 3 Voyages at the tier-3 level generally are job ready. They have gained the skills necessary to build multiple full-stack applications, have at least 4.5 months of experience working on real projects in real teams, and understand the importance of soft skills.
Yes. Many of the major coding bootcamps have referred their graduates to Chingu to help them get more experience and prepare for a real job.
In order for you to get the most out of your voyage, we recommend committing at least 6-8 hours per week. However, we understand that your availability may vary from sprint-to-sprint. What's important is that you give your team plenty of notice so the team can plan for these situations.
In a Voyage you’ll be matched with other teammates in the same tier, in similar timezones and who have similar technical interests.
You will need to know basic CSS, HTML, and a programming language like Javascript or Python. But, even if you are not ready now, you can use the Solo Project to help build and refine your skills to prepare you for the Voyage.
The Solo Project allows new Chingus to find out which Tier they best fit in, and build a project from start to finish to ensure they are ready for the team Voyage project. The solo projects are organized by Tier and requires skills that match the tier that best suits your current skill level. Don't worry if you find that you have selected the wrong tier - you can change your tier at any time.
