Mate academy is trusted and loved by thousands

Enroll now

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.

    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.

    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.
