VanHack Academy

When clocks are on Standard Time, live classes are held at 3:00am (PST), 7:00am (PST), and 2:00pm (PST). You can check the details inside the “Interview Practice Classes” bundle. During Canadian Daylight Saving Time, between March 13 and November 6, 2022, live classes are held from Monday to Thursday, at 4:00am (PST), 8:00am (PST), and 3:00pm (PST).

We offer sessions of Behavioral Interview, Technical Interview, and English for Work & Interviews. All the sessions are meant to provide you with a friendly environment where you'll be able to practice and improve your communication skills, besides learning how to handle different situations you may face at job interviews.

Our classes are offered in group sessions, where you'll have the opportunity of building a network as well. Our methodology includes Breakout Rooms exercises, to also provide you the experience of discussing in smaller groups or even working in pairs, and we also encourage our students to interact in the main room, giving and receiving feedback, so your Public Speaking skills can be developed and improved as well.

You can attend as many classes as you are willing to! The content presented in the first session of the day will be the same of the second session, but each day brings a different subject. You can either join both classes of the day, to reinforce your participation, or one class a day from Monday to Thursday according to your availability.

First of all you need to be committed to yourself and your goals! Prepare your own schedule to accommodate at least one class per day, and dedicate that time frame to your own improvement. Choose a room where you can focus in the class, free of background noises and distractions as much as possible, with good Internet connection, and a desk to place your device on. Also, make sure that your camera and your microphone are working properly, so you can participate in the discussions and exercises.

It is essential that you complete your English Verification at VanHack platform, so you'll be able to start applying for jobs as soon as it's complete and published in your profile. Besides that, it will help you to get to know your own level better, and you'll also have it as a parameter to check your own progress withing the classes. We do not require any specific level to attend the classes, but we will ask you questions and will encourage you to participate as much as possible - this is the only way to improve! Remember: there will always be room for improvements, even for us, as instructors.

All job opportunities at VanHack are available in our job board for all of our members, regardless of the Premium subscription.
