reviews on DOU
Two weeks later, I already found a job. What I personally liked: the lessons were filled with practical research and in-depth study of the interface design process.
Mentor support is available 24/7. My mentors were always ready to help with any questions. There is also assistance with job placement and support from coordinators. I recommend it!
The mentors were experienced and always ready to help. The course included a lot of materials and practical tasks. I recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn UX and UI design at a high level.
I found a job a month after finishing. Mate provides continuous support, detailed feedback, Q&A calls, and tech checks. I recommend it to everyone, start now.
All aspects of work are covered in the modules, homework is checked quickly, and detailed feedback is provided. The mentors here are simply the best, always helping when you're unsure of how to proceed. They help you create a great CV and prepare you for various questions from recruiters.

You often ask
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. You’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, it’s hard to combine studies with work or school due to its intensity. You’ll need to fully commit, studying from 9 am to 6 pm, Monday to Friday.
Will I get a certificate upon completion?
After finishing our course, you'll get a certificate. More than 4,000 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?
Do I need math or tech background to enroll?
No, you don’t need a technical background to enroll. In fact, 9 out of 10 Mate students come from non-technical backgrounds. Our primary goal is to teach you the skills you need and help you secure a job in IT.
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. You’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 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 are you so sure that l'll find a job?
With over 9 years of experience helping students begin their IT careers, we’ve refined our approach to securing your first job.
Our courses are tailored to industry needs and focus on hands-on training. Plus, we provide personalized support, like resume reviews and interview prep. As a result, 80% of our graduates land jobs in their field within a few months of 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.
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 — Algorithms 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM — Theory 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM — Break 12:30 PM - 2:00 PM — Practice 2:00 PM - 2:30 PM — Q&A session 2:30 PM - 5:00 PM — Practice 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM — Q&A session
What jobs can I get after finishing the course?
Graduates of the UI/UX designer course often land their first jobs in positions such as UI/UX designer, product designer, and web designer.
