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 fantasticā€”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 notā€”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 sayā€”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.

Faq

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. Youā€™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, itā€™s hard to combine studies with work or school due to its intensity. Youā€™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 4,500 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 youā€™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.

    Get a consultation
  • Do I need math or tech background to enroll?

    No, you donā€™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. Youā€™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 youā€™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, weā€™ve been helping people kickstart their tech careers ā€” and weā€™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 youā€™re never on your own ā€” weā€™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 donā€™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 ā€” Algorithms 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM ā€” Theory 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM ā€” Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM ā€” Practice 2:00 PM - 2:30 PM ā€” Q&A session 2:30 PM - 5:00 PM ā€” Practice 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM ā€” Q&A session

  • What jobs can I get after finishing the course?

    Graduates of the Automation QA Engineer course most often get their first job in the following positions: Junior Automation QA Engineer, Junior Automation Test Engineer, General QA, Automation QA Engineer, Automation Test Engineer.
