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.

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).

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 to start learning at Mate academy?

    For the full-time course, just send in your application and take the entrance test — a design quiz for UI/UX or a logic test for other tracks. After that, you can book a quick interview with our manager. We’ll chat about your experience, your interest in tech, and whether this format works for you. There’ll also be a few English questions, and, of course, we’ll answer anything you’re curious about.

    For the flexible course, it’s even simpler: submit your application, and we’ll reach out to you. On the call, we’ll walk you through all the details and help you choose the right track. Once you make the payment, you’re good to go and can start learning right away!

  • 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.

  • 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 do I choose a career path?

    If you're unsure about which career path to choose, just submit an application for a free consultation.

    Our manager will help you pick the career that best matches your skills and interests.

    Find my course
  • Will I get a certificate after the course?

    Yes, of course! Over 5000 Mate graduates are already using their certificates to showcase their skills on LinkedIn and other social media.

  • 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.

  • Can I combine full-time studies with work or university?

    The honest answer — better not. Classes run on weekdays from 10 AM to 6 PM, and daily focus and attendance are key to success. Balancing it with work usually leads to burnout and missed lessons.

    Our advice:

    – If you’re currently working, choose the next available group when you can fully commit.

    – Or consider our flexible learning format instead

We’re always here for you.
