Have some more questions? We have the 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 4,300 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?
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?
You can work as Front-end developer, Front-end (Angular) developer, Front-end (HTML, CSS, JS) developer, Vue developer, React developer, or React Native developer.
