Mate academy is trusted and loved by thousands

Find my course

Mate academy is a great team of professionals from various IT fields and specialties. I recommend their courses to everyone who is ready and eager to learn a lot of new things, practice constantly, and believe that this will definitely bring results. Thanks to Mate academy's courses and support, I received my first offer in IT from a product-based IT company.

Kostya Gorlov

Mate academy graduate

I took a course at Mate academy. I liked that everything was very well organized. The learning platform is just fantastic—videos, lots of practical tasks, useful chats, a job vacancy section, technical checks, and motivational competitions. There was excellent preparation for employment. And I especially liked the support from the team and the friendly atmosphere.

Anastasia Sukhanova

Mate academy graduate

Definitely the best courses, after which you will find a job in IT 99.9% of the time. What's required from you is desire, persistence, and hard work, and everything else will be taught to you at MATE! I've tested it on myself).

Bogdan Yaremchuk

Mate academy graduate

Don't hesitate to go to Mate academy or not—if you are ready to change your life for the better, then you should definitely come here. All the people who work here will definitely help you in any situation. The training is conducted in an interesting format (80% practice), which requires dedicating enough time to it. But I can definitely say—it's worth it!

Vlad Shulzhenko

Mate academy graduate

I would even say the only ones worth completing. I finished several others before them, they gave only 2% of the knowledge compared to everything I learned at Mate. Today I received my first IT offer, and it wouldn't have happened without Mate. If you're in doubt, just go through the free first level, and you'll understand the quality and convenience of information delivery yourself.

Got questions? We’ve got answers

  • 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?

    Sure! After finishing our course, you'll get a certificate. More than 5000 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 not sure which profession is right for you, book a free consultation. Our manager will help you figure out the best options based on your skills and interests.

    Find my course
  • Do I need math or tech background to enroll?

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

  • 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?

    For over 10 years, we’ve been helping people kickstart their tech careers — and we’ve gotten pretty good at it.

    Our courses are built around what companies actually want, with tons of hands-on practice to get you job-ready. And you’re never on your own — we’ll guide you every step of the way, from polishing your resume to nailing your interviews.

    The best part? 80% of our grads land a tech job just a few months after 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's the schedule on full-time?

    The full-time schedule combines theory lessons, practice, and Q&A sessions:

    9:00 AM - 10:00 AM — Algorithms 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM — Theory 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM — Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM — Practice 2:00 PM - 2:30 PM — Q&A session 2:30 PM - 5:00 PM — Practice 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM — Q&A session

  • What jobs can I get after finishing the course?

    Graduates of the “Creative marketing manager” course most often start their careers as a Creative marketing manager, Creative producer, Ad Creative Strategist, or Content/Brand marketer, where they gain their first hands-on experience creating ad creatives and campaigns. Over time, creative marketers move into more senior roles such as Creative Lead or Head of Creative, or grow into brand strategy and creative team management.

  • What will I be able to do after completing the Creative marketing manager course?

    Our “Creative marketing manager” course includes clearly structured modules that help you master both creative and analytical skills. You’ll learn how to find insights and analyze competitors, develop creative concepts, visual styles, and campaign messages, and write scripts, storyboards, and briefs for videos and banners. During the training, you’ll learn to coordinate creative production as an art director, build and test creative hypotheses, analyze creative metrics (CTR, Hook Rate, Retention), and generate ideas and finished creatives with AI — ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, Runway, and Sora.

  • How are online creative marketing courses better than self-study?

    The “Creative marketing manager” course provides a structured learning path that lets you master key creative marketing skills step by step without confusion or gaps. You’ll get feedback from experienced practitioner-mentors and work on real cases and creatives instead of abstract theory. Our course also includes interaction with other students through chats and video calls, where you can exchange ideas, share creatives, and motivate each other.

  • How to master the profession of Creative marketing manager from scratch?

    To become a creative marketer from scratch, start with the fundamentals: understanding how to find insights, analyze competitors, and turn ideas into creative concepts and campaign messages. As you progress, you’ll learn to write scripts and briefs, coordinate the production of videos and banners, test creative hypotheses, and analyze metrics (CTR, Hook Rate, Retention). A special focus is on AI: you’ll learn to generate concepts and finished creatives in ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, and Runway. Our course is designed to take you from basic principles to real creative marketing tasks: you’ll work on practical cases and build a portfolio, with mentor support and a community of peers.

  • What kind of computer do I need for the online Creative marketing manager course?

    To take the online “Creative marketing manager” course, you’ll need a computer or laptop with solid performance. An Intel Core i5 processor or higher, at least 8 GB of RAM, an SSD, and a stable internet connection are sufficient. Most creative marketing tools and AI services (Midjourney, Runway, ChatGPT) run online, so reliable internet access is important.

Benefits of the Creative marketing manager profession

High market demand: creative marketing is the foundation of every ad campaign, so a Creative marketing manager is needed by brands, agencies, and product teams that want to stand out and stop the scroll. Strong earning potential: even at the start, a creative marketing career offers solid income, with an average salary of around $1,200 that grows significantly as you build experience and a strong creative portfolio. Flexible work formats: the profession fits both office-based and remote work, letting you collaborate with local and international brands at the same time. Creativity meets data: a creative marketer combines idea generation with metric analysis (CTR, Hook Rate, Retention), so every decision is backed by both creative instinct and numbers. AI in daily work: a Creative marketing manager uses ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, and Runway to generate concepts and finished creatives faster than traditional teams.

Career prospects after creative marketing training

Creative marketing training opens pathways to roles like Creative marketing manager, Creative producer, Ad Creative Strategist, or Content and Brand marketer, eventually leading to positions such as Creative Lead or Head of Creative. A creative marketer’s career grows through real campaigns, a strong creative portfolio, and the ability to combine ideas with metric analysis — and with that growth come higher salaries and greater responsibility. Demand for creative marketers is strong in brands, performance agencies, product IT companies, and e-commerce, where ad results depend directly on creative quality.

Who online Creative marketing manager courses are for

Beginners with no experience: if you’re just starting, creative marketing training helps you build the fundamentals — from finding insights to creating finished ad creatives. Marketers and SMM specialists: already working with content but want to move up to creative concepts and strategies? This training gives you a systematic approach and a portfolio. Designers and copywriters: if you want to do more than follow briefs and start generating campaign ideas and managing production — the Creative marketing manager course opens that path. Entrepreneurs and freelancers: want to create ads yourself with AI and stop depending on agencies? You’ll get the practical tools to do it.

How Creative marketing manager training works

You take the “Creative marketing manager” course in a flexible Flex format — at your own pace, combining study with work. The structure is the same: about 20% theory with clear, structured lessons, and 80% practical work on real cases, briefs, and creatives. After each assignment, you’ll get personal feedback from a mentor and review your mistakes to improve. You’ll also be able to interact with classmates via chat or video calls.
