Full-time course remains free until you get a job in tech. Thereafter, you pay 12% of your net salary for 36 months total — per agreement.
The QA Course takes 3 months.
Both tracks have identical programs and aim: to get you a job. The only two differences lie in schedule and payment form. Full-time courses are free until you get a job in tech. Henceforth, you pay a percentage of your salary, per agreement. The schedule is from 9 am till 6 pm Monday through Friday. Flex courses, on the other hand, offer a fixed price and an instant access to all resources. You study at your own pace with the support of our experts, under the same employment guarantee.
Full-time course candidates go through a selection process to enroll. We ask you to: 1. Sign up, and pass a short test. 2. Attend an online interview: we'll discuss your motivation, and verify your English proficiency level (pre-intermediate minimum). 3. Sign the contract.
We select the best candidates every 10 days in selection batches. Batches usually fill up weeks ahead, so, to secure your spot, we recommend applying ASAP. Groups start every 2-3 months.
(see Schedule) from 9 am to 6 pm on workdays. It consists of lectures, Q&A and self-study sessions, mock interviews, and a variety of other activities - all 100% online. Due to high intensity, it cannot be combined with studying or work.
8/10 Mate students don't have any experience in tech. But if this doesn't reassure you: our courses cover even the most basic topics, and our team is always ready to provide support!
You can enroll in a full-time course from the age of 16 (with parental consent). Due to its intensity, it will not be possible to combine a full-time course with work or study.
We educate people of all ages, besides: it doesn't matter in tech. And if you worry studying might be too much of a challenge... there's no substance to it! If you stay engaged, you'll graduate the course and find a job in no time :)
Our graduates usually go on to become QA manual testers and engineers.
Per our employment guarantee: if you don't find a job, you won't pay a dime for your time at Mate.
80% of full-time Mate graduates go on to work in the tech industry. As for flex graduates: everyone who wanted to find a job, succeeded.
