Free classroom training that prepares you for today’s most needed work
Learn for free at the 42 programming campuses to boost your digital skills, and improve your professional profile and the most in-demand skills in the labour market.
We are living in one of the greatest revolutions in history, immersed in an explosion of technology coupled with a speed of change that has transformed everything we knew until now, especially in the world of work.
In this process of technological transformation, we have had to adapt by acquiring competences and skills aimed at incorporating new ways of learning, relating and even working.
At Fundación Telefónica, we want people to be able to learn about and take advantage of the possibilities offered by technology in essential areas such as education and employment, at a time in which the demands of the labour market in terms of technological skills have increased.
One of the free projects focused on preparing people for today’s job market is the 42 programming campuses.

What is Campus 42?
- A completely revolutionary learning method compared to traditional educational models.
- A programming campus that opens the door to peer-to-peer training, without teachers, books or classes.
- A completely free method, open to people over 18 years of age and with no prerequisites or prior knowledge.
- A model designed to train students not only in digital skills—currently among the most in-demand—but also in the so-called “soft skills”: resilience and adaptability to change, frustration tolerance, creativity, and, above all, teamwork, among many others.
Two steps to access 42
- To get started, you have to register at one of the four campuses
- Once you have registered, you will have to pass the two online skills tests to be eligible for one of the pools.
And if you’re wondering what the pool is, here’s a clue. It’s a 26-day onsite challenge, completely free, held at the campus. It’s the final stage in the selection process. Through daily projects, candidates have the opportunity to gain a solid foundation in the C language while learning to work alongside their peers.
The 26 days of the pool are an immersive programming experience, seven days a week, day and night, surrounded by many others in the same situation of teamwork, overcoming moments of frustration, development, communication and lots and lots of code.

42, much more than a programming campus
42 is a philosophy, a revolution that breaks with all the educational paradigm. At 42, students are the protagonists of their own learning journey (step by step and free of charge).
Our 42 campuses in Madrid, Barcelona, Málaga and Urduliz provide the tools needed to navigate the technological changes that people will encounter throughout their careers. At 42, students “learn how to learn” by developing the ability to adapt and find solutions to problems using current knowledge and tools.
Thanks to self-learning and peers. Its gamified methodology allows students to level up while acquiring the technical and transversal skills that companies are seeking.
It’s not just about learning programming, cybersecurity, design, or blockchain. Students also develop communication, leadership, frustration tolerance, teamwork, and more.
42, considered one of the most innovative programming campuses in the world and ranked in the Top Ten of the world’s universities with the best level of training, opens the door to a new way of building the future and being professionally prepared for all the challenges that are yet to come.
Still thinking about it? Here’s one last good reason: The 42 programming campuses are the ideal launching pad to connect with the jobs of today and tomorrow. The job market is waiting for you with open arms!
