Enroll now

Not surprised how many Mate graduates get offers daily! In 3.5 weeks, I landed my first job at an IT recruitment agency. Thanks to the excellent technical interview prep and constant support from mentors and coordinators, including feedback, tech-checks, and mock interviews.

Viktoriia Kurhanevych

IT Recruitment Specialist

Finished the Recruiter course in 8 months. The material was clear and practical, making it easy to start working right after. Great interview prep and support during job applications. Mate even found me an internship that turned into a job offer before it ended. Highly recommend!

Viktoriia Horobynska

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?

    Our graduates usually become Recruiters, Talent Sourcers, Researchers, and Talent Acquisition Specialists.
