"This pioneering new school will provide an additional educational platform to build digital skills and a homegrown, future-ready workforce equipped to lead the technology-driven economy of the 21st century," said His Highness Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, member of the Abu Dhabi Executive Council and Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Executive Office.

Candidates interested in applying to 42 Abu Dhabi must be aged 18 and above and require no previous coding experience.

Enrolment requires registration and an online pre-selection assessment that evaluates cognitive capacity via logic and memory tests.
