I'm grateful to the Mate academy

I'm grateful to the Mate academy. Three months of hard study and one month to find a job. I had experience in full-time program QA, with great people: coach - Tetiana and mentors - Karolina, Vlad, Natalia, Yurii, and Marichka, I'm grateful to you all, guys. You gave me knowledge and experience I will never forget. The best advertisement is feedback from my new employer, that my knowledge is much higher than they expected for a junior position. Mate academy will be always in my heart.

Best to start your career

These courses do prepare you in the best and the most efficient way possible to start your professional career. They not only provide you with lots of learning materials, practice and peer learning but also give you preparation for things that you will face during employment as tech checks, HR screenings, soft skills and English. So if you want to become a professional in IT - Mate Academy is definitely a great choice.

Python course

First of all, I was surprised by all the information covered throughout the course: although we had only about 3 months, by the time the employment period started I felt pretty confident about the tech interviews and could really see the difference from before the course. And the most exciting thing is the first job! Thanks to Mate and their support, finding my first job was much easier than when I tried to do it on my own before enrolling in the course. Also, I have to mention all the support from mentors and coordinators: those are people who care about your development and success!

QA_JUL

I want to describe everything that happened to me in this course. Here I received excellent theoretical knowledge, which I immediately consolidated into practice! The responsiveness of the curators and mentors helped me with my progress and understand the difficult tasks that were posed throughout the course. I made new friends. What can I say about employment? The path is difficult, especially for a tester, because the competition is too great! The company has partners, but I would rely more on your strength. A good formula for me is 15-20 tests, 10-15 screenings, 3-5 technical interviews and the position is yours(because by this time you will have answers to all the necessary questions). The rest depends on luck and soft skills. Good luck to everyone reading this review :)

I was always thinking that IT industry…

I was always thinking that IT industry is something impossible for me and i can never be an engineer in IT but this guys from mate are on another level of teaching. Everythin starting from platform and finishing with job searching was too good to be real.
Thank you guys for your work!!

Mate Academy, Java Development - a ticket in IT field

Here ends my six months with Mate Academy. Six months of active full-time work have been fun and interesting. It's an incredibly cool community with optimistic professional mentors, coordinators, lecturers, and students. Better than my university education.

During this time, I met many interesting and cool people, mastered a large stack of technologies, worked in a team, wrote my project and solved hundreds of tasks.

In the future, I'll have to move on with other people, but I'll always remember studying at the Mate Academy and will always be a part of this great community. Roma, Masha, Lilia, Nazar, Olena, Andrew, Danylo, Maksym, Anastasia, English teachers and, of course, my groupmates, thanks to everyone for contributing to my development! I wish everyone a long, happy and rich life!) ❤️

Java Fulltime

Mate Academy's Java courses are absolutely awesome! 🚀The mentors are like coding wizards who make Java feel like a piece of cake. The projects are cool, not your typical boring assignments. If you're into Java and want to have a blast while learning, Mate Academy is where it's at! 👏

I made a good choice

This course wasn't just about learning new skills, it was a total launchpad for my career! Sure, the front-end training was top-notch, but the real game-changers were the interview prep sessions that gave me the confidence to ace my job search, and the English-speaking club that helped me break down barriers and express myself clearly. Big thanks to Mate for being a phenomenal guide throughout the journey.

Start in IT with Mate Academy

Completed the course at Mate Academy a few months ago, already received my first job offer. Grateful to mentors and coordinators for the knowledge, interview preparation, and building confidence in my abilities. As a bonus, there's a community of your peers, with connections that can be useful in the future. Highly recommend to everyone!

The most organised and valuable course…

The most organised and valuable course I’ve ever participated in. Great team of mentors and learning material that gave me all the practical knowledge needed to start a career in web development. It is full time though and you need to work for it.

Thank you, MA!

I was lucky enough to join the MA. In addition to `hard skills`, you will have a strong network of great folks, excellent support, many interesting courses, and events.

It was a great experience learning…

It was a great experience learning UI/UX design with Mate Academy, especially with Alex Kim. It would also be great if we had some lessons about landing pages, Tilda and worked with animations a bit more. Also, I think the last 1,5 months were not so productive as the ones before. Overall so much depends on the mentor.
