Getting started
Do you have the foundations to begin?
In the Quantum Computing Academy, you discover how quantum computing works and learn to build quantum programmes using Python and Qiskit. This structured programme takes you from essential concepts and algorithms to hands-on projects, including experiments on real quantum computers.
Need to strengthen your skills first?
The DLH Academy also offers preparatory resources to help you refresh and strengthen the knowledge and skills required for admission and successful participation in the training programme.
The DLH catalogue offers online and on-site preparatory courses to help you strengthen your skills before the admission test. These courses may not cover every assessed topic, so use the assessment preview to guide your preparation.
On-Site Preparatory Course (Coming Soon)

How to apply
When applications open, create a separate account on the Academy admission platform. You can use the same email address as your DLH account.
Once your account is created, you can access online resources and quizzes to prepare for the on-site test.
Test skills with the Mock Test
- On-site test: Demonstrate your knowledge and practical skills. You can retake the test once, with further preparation if needed.
- What to expect for the exam:
- 2 hours : Math Quiz + Python project
- The exam is closed-book, and computers will be provided.
- Individual interview: After passing the test, discuss your background, motivation and preferred specialisation with the Academy team.
Admission depends on your test results, interview and available places.
Curriculum
The Quantum Computing Academy is offered in the Intensive Track only, with one mandatory day on site each week.
The capstone project is the culmination of your specialisation, designed to showcase your skills in real-world applications. It is primarily driven by your own idea, and may also be developed in collaboration with an industry partner. Capstone project examples include:

FAQ
Any questions?
We’ve gathered the most common questions to help you understand how our Academies work and what you can expect from our programmes.
No. Your main residence must already be in the Greater Region when you apply. This includes Luxembourg, the Grand Est region of France, Saarland and Rhineland-Palatinate in Germany, and Wallonia in Belgium. You may be asked for proof of residence under the DLH Terms and Conditions.
You can apply if you are 18 or over and your main residence is in the Greater Region. Each Academy has its own technical prerequisites, listed in the Getting started section of its page.
If you need to strengthen your skills before the admission test, you can use the preparation resources for your chosen Academy, attend on-site preparatory sessions or take courses from the DLH catalogue.
Yes, provided you can meet the weekly workload and attend the mandatory on-site sessions. If you are working, you must choose the part-time format. If you are already studying, check that the requirements of your chosen Academy fit your timetable before applying.
The €500 fee covers the full programme, including certification exam fees where applicable.
The tuition fee is 500€ per Academy. Specific reductions may apply for job seekers registered with the Luxembourg Employment Agency (ADEM); please contact the ADEM training department at: service.formation@adem.etat.lu to check your eligibility.
No. Enrolment in an Academy does not provide a basis for a Luxembourg long-stay student visa. The Academies offer professional training. The student visa route requires eligible full-time studies leading to a higher education degree or diploma.
No. Completing an Academy programme does not in itself make you eligible for this permit. Among other conditions, student applicants must have earned a qualifying Master’s degree or doctorate in Luxembourg. See Guichet.lu’s guidance on residence after studies for the full requirements.
