    Reviews on Google

    Thanks to Mate Academy, after a previous unsuccessful attempt to enter the IT industry, I managed to find a job within 30 days of completing the course. A wealth of knowledge, support from mentors and assistance in conducting recruitment interviews are three of the many advantages that Mate Academy offers on a new career path

    Wojciech Wesołowski

    Absolwent Mate

    I highly recommend Mate Academy. I tried to start working in IT for a long time. Thanks to Mate, I gained skills and confidence that are very important during applications and interviews. Within 2 weeks after the course, I received two job offers, so I can wholeheartedly recommend learning at Mate

    Krzysztof G.

    Absolwent Mate

    What can I say about Mate Academy? Theoretical and practical preparation at the highest level. But in my opinion, this is not the main advantage of this course - the advantage of this course are mentors who are convinced of your success and support you at every stage of your activity. Through learning practice, understanding theory, practicing soft skills, support in job search and related aspects.

    Kacper Grosicki

    Absolwent Mate

    I recommend this course to people who want to enter the world of IT and don't know where to start. There is a lot of knowledge on the Internet, which is beneficial, but at the same time it can be confusing for a beginner. At Mate, you get a defined learning path waiting for the motivated student. Additionally, the help of mentors, test tasks and code reviews drive development and allow you to get your first job.

    Sylwester Sobczak

    Absolwent Mate

    I highly recommend Mate Academy to everyone who wants to start their programming adventure but doesn't know where to start. The several-month course offered by Mate Academy will take you through the basics of programming to more and more advanced and complex projects, which you can later include in your CV, making it much easier to find your first job. I especially appreciate the support of the course mentors, who were available and willing to help not only during the designated course hours!

    You often ask

    • How do full-time and flexible formats differ?

      In the full-time schedule, you study online from 9 AM to 6 PM, Monday to Friday. You’ll attend webinars, do practical tasks, and get help from mentors. There are group video calls four times a week in the afternoon. This intense schedule is not good if you want to work at the same time.

      The flexible schedule lets you learn at your own pace. You decide when and how many hours to study. Mentors are available to help you, and you can chat and join video calls with classmates. Plus, you get lifetime access to the course, so you can learn whenever you want.

    • Can I fit studying at Mate with other activities?

      In the flexible format, you can balance your studies with work or school. You set your own pace and receive support from our mentors throughout the course.

      In the full-time format, it’s hard to combine studies with work or school due to its intensity. You’ll need to fully commit, studying from 9 am to 6 pm, Monday to Friday.

    • Will I get a certificate upon completion?

      After finishing our course, you'll get a certificate. More than 4,000 of our graduates use it to show their skills on LinkedIn and other social media. But our main focus is helping you find a job, and we'll do everything we can to support you in that.

    • How do I choose a profession?

      If you’re unsure about which profession to choose, you can get our free consultation. Our manager will help you find the best option based on your skills and interests.

      Book your spot

    • Do I need math or tech background to enroll?

      No, you don’t need a technical background to enroll. In fact, 9 out of 10 Mate students come from non-technical backgrounds. Our primary goal is to teach you the skills you need and help you secure a job in IT.

    • How do I enroll?

      To enroll in the full-time course, start by filling out an application and taking a short logic test with 15 questions. If your English level is below Pre-intermediate, we'll ask you to make a short video about yourself. Once we check that your English is good enough for learning, you can move on with your enrollment and set up an interview with our manager.

      For the flexible course, just send an application. Our manager will reach out to explain the course details and help you pick the best option. You’ll get access to the course right after you pay.

    • Are there any age limits for this course?

      You can apply for the full-time course starting at age 16 with your parents' permission. For the flexible course, you can begin if you’re at least 15 years old.

      The employment guarantee applies if you reach the legal working age in your country by the time you finish the course.

    • How are you so sure that l'll find a job?

      With over 10 years of experience helping students begin their IT careers, we’ve refined our approach to securing your first job.

      Our courses are tailored to industry needs and focus on hands-on training. Plus, we provide personalized support, like resume reviews and interview prep. As a result, 80% of our graduates land jobs in their field within a few months of finishing the course.

    • How does money-back guarantee work?

      For full-time graduates, you only start paying for your education after finding a tech job. The payment is 12% of your net salary for 36 months. If you don’t get a job, you pay nothing.

      If you finish the flexible course, actively search for a job with our support for 16 weeks, and don't receive any offers, you can get a full refund.

    • What jobs can I get after finishing the course?

      Graduates of the QA engineer course often land their first jobs in positions such as QA manual testers, QA automation testers, and engineers.
