Got questions? We’ve got answers
What's the difference between the full-time and flexible formats of the Python course?
The full-time format is for those who want to dive into Python fast. You study online Monday to Friday, from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The format includes regular webinars, live Q&A calls, and hands-on tasks, with constant mentor support and active group communication. It's intensive and works best if you're not studying or working at the same time.
The flexible format is for learners who want to master Python at their own pace. You can study whenever it's convenient — in the morning, after work, or on weekends. You still get access to mentors, a group chat, and Q&A sessions. The learning platform stays with you forever, so you can return to the materials anytime. This format is easy to combine with work, freelancing, or university.
In both formats, you'll get:
A certificate confirming your Python developer skills
A portfolio of Python projects you can show in interviews or add to GitHub
Hands-on experience in web development, APIs, automation, and backend basics
Help with your resume, technical interview prep, and job search
A real chance to land your first IT job — in Kyiv, Lviv, Kharkiv, or fully remote
Will I get a certificate after the Python course?
Yes. After completing the online course, you'll receive a certificate confirming your knowledge in Python programming, working with the terminal, Git, databases, building web applications, and solving real-world Python tasks.
You can add this certificate to your resume, include it on LinkedIn, or show it during interviews. Many Mate academy graduates already use their certificates to land their first roles as Junior Python Developers or Trainee Backend Developers.
What if I'm not sure Python development is right for me?
That's completely normal — doubts are part of starting something new. If you're unsure whether Python programming is your thing, just leave a request for a free consultation.
Our manager will explain how the course is structured, what a Python developer actually does, what job options are available, and help you decide if this path is right for you.
Do I need math skills or a technical degree to become a Python developer?
No. You don't need an IT degree or strong math skills to start learning Python. Most students begin with zero programming experience.
We teach everything step by step:
how developers think and how algorithms work
Python basics: syntax, variables, functions, and conditionals
practical tasks that prepare you for real web development work
working with the terminal, Git, databases, and frameworks
writing code with mentor guidance and regular feedback
Most importantly, everything is practice-based. You solve tasks, build projects, go through code reviews, and get feedback right away. By the end, you'll have not just knowledge — but a real portfolio for your first IT job.
How do I apply for the Python development course? Are there age limits?
Applying is easy — just submit a request. The next steps depend on the format you choose:
Full-time format
Take a logic test
Have a short interview with our team
