Selection Review

Team placement is not automatic

Completing VEX EP4 does not guarantee immediate placement on a competition team. Beyond Code Academy reserves the right to select students based on readiness, time commitment, and available team capacity at each branch.

Each branch can typically support no more than 1-2 teams per season.

Application Steps

What happens after you apply.

Our team reviews both technical readiness and whether the student's schedule can support a full competition season.
