Mate academy

Like any other self-taught developer, I was learning aimlessly with YouTube videos and online resources. But then I come to know about Mate Academy and I am blown by their curriculum and structural method of teaching. 
I learned so much in 4 months that I never learned in a year when I was in college or school. In exactly 4 months I got my first offer letter from the employer where I am working right now!
Here you can interact with people from all around the world. Here you learn how to work with a team and individually. Always there will be a Mentor to help you if you have some issue with your understanding of the concept or your code, there will be someone to review your code (other students and final review by Mentors) which is not possible with online courses or other resources.
Here you will not just learn to program but you will learn soft skills as well, which is much more important than coding skills, especially when you have to work with people from a different culture. 
You have so many tech checks and interview practices that you will never be nervous in your real interview.
The best part is that you will get a job assistance which is not just for your first job but  for your next job as well. Mate is not asking for anything upfront but just your dedication and being honest with yourself.
Hopefully, this will help other students as well who are looking for a good school to start their career in software development. 

I’ve studied at Mate Academy for 3 months on full-time and it was incredible and productive time in my life😅Studying wasn’t easy at all, but absolutely worse it. Me and my group had everyday meetings, tech checks and support in all questions. This format of studying completely cover expectations of future employers. And now I can recommend this school for everyone, because I know from my own experience, that it’s the best way to start your career in IT.

At the start, I doubted the positive reviews, because there were too many, and almost not negative. But solve start studying in this school. And this turned my impression about studying in all schools.

Mentors and coaches make all for giving actual knowledge. Every day u can take the answer from mentors to u questions. And u have support during studying, and after when u found work

As for me, after 3.5 months of studying, I already found work 🧑‍🎓🧑‍💻
I`m so happy, what studied in Mate🥰❤️

I graduated from the Frontend course 4 months ago.

Guys if you're still hesitant to apply or  not apply to the academy, I will personally say, Mate is a great opportunity to change your life and to start working in the tech field.
Cool experienced mentors who try their best to transfer their knowledge to you, constant code writing practice, with solving daily JS problems daily - you notice how your skills improve every day.

After 3 months of training, you’re surprised by how much knowledge and skills you have received) I found a job in a large company after 3 days of job search.

PS: my Team Lead in that company is also Mate graduate)))

I wanted to develop in the tech field for a long time and planned to do it myself as I used to do so since my childhood. An acquaintance once told me about Mate so I became interested and decided to just try.

I entered from the second try, as at the first one I confused everything that could be confused. The second attempt in 10 days was successful, and in less than 4 months I received my first offer! While studying, I tried to analyze the training system made by Mate and I can confidently say: to create such a training system it took a lot of time and effort, because it’s all done very carefully and everything is thought out to very small details at different stages of learning, the presentation of materials is closely linked and the topic you taught yesterday you already use today and understand why you need it. It’s very cool because step by step, day by day you realize that your knowledge is growing at an incredible rate.

After the first week of training you already understand that there is more information and knowledge than in the last year without Mate, so if anyone still doubts whether it is worth joining a Mate, I’ll tell you straight - your doubts are wrong, in Mate you can get a very cool knowledge base and after graduation - job. No other educational institution will guarantee you the employment. Only Mate will deal with you until you receive an offer and it’s just great :)
Thank you for helping me to become a cool developer :)

 Mate you are the best !!!

At first I doubted, because I did not understand the ISA way of payment, it scared me, but then I asked myself - "what am I losing?". My advice - if you want to enter the tech world and have somehow found yourself on the Mate academy website - do not doubt and do not waste time.
 
When you register and enroll in the desired course, you will have two weeks to complete the zero course and I think this is a key point in your journey, because you will understand whether you want to do it. Before the course I had self-study for several months and only these two weeks showed me that I was, in fact, wasting time in nowhere (stomping on the spot). But I want to warn you - before school, deal with all the staff, warn all relatives and friends, because you will not have that much time for entertainment or to let yourself be lazy (I left the house only once a week).
 
This is not a simple training where you will be dragged by the handle, you will have hard work - work on yourself, where you will build yourself first. All mentors, coordinators are cool people, you will become friends from the first minutes of training, and they will not leave you alone until the very end, and even after the end :). 

The most important thing is not to give up, and always remember how much you have gone through, and that this sacrifice should not be in vain. These 3 months were difficult but at the same time wonderful, I am incredibly glad that I made this choice.
 
If you want to change your life - change, no half measures, only to the end.

P.S. For those who were not involved in IT at all - I graduated from Trade University and was a casual salesman, I first touched on programming in just a few months before the courses where I had self-study. I want you not to be afraid to take a step and not to look for stupid reasons kind of - "well, I'm a humanist ...". Don't do that please :) 

Studying at Mate is not for the weakling, but at the same time it is not necessary to have a computer science education behind you, to learn and learn :)
Coach and mentors do the maximum for students, video lectures, online lectures, technical checks - in Mate everything is aimed at understanding and mastering the material.
Preparing for employment also gives a lot of self-confidence, as well as support during training and two years after graduation.
Training is appropriate for ones who have decided what they want and ready work to achieve the goal, and Mate academy will help with it.

I studied in the evening format (part-time). For 5 months of study / parallel work I learned the whole Front part of programming. After submitting a couple of dozen resumes to various companies, the market floods you with test assignments and interviews. Of course, the requirements of the market demand confident knowledge of the front-end. Mate has the full info that is needed for the market, + Back-end. I am very glad that I’ve chosen Mates’ platform. I studied everything on freeCodeCamp previously and looked for an analogue in other training databases. As distinct from freeCodeCamp, you’ll have more information at Mate, and it is more informative. In search of courses I noticed that many of them offer training that lasts 9-12 months. It was too long for me, I wanted to focus on the short term and go into it to the max. Starting to study the theory (there is a basic knowledge of JS that you can check for free) noticed that I really liked the teaching method - a couple of short videos -> practice. So no doubts - just try :) the basic part is free ))) 

I would like to start by saying that I had no connection with tech before Mate. I didn’t dare to try for a long time, but good reviews from my friends who have already graduated from Mate and settled in tech companies for a long time made me apply. The training will be hard but effective. Throughout the course, you will have the opportunity to receive daily support from mentors, trainers and a coordinator. Also, to the pros of Mate, I would like to add weekly tech-checks, that will prepare you for technical interviews, and daily practical homework assignments, that will help you to write clean and correct code. For me personally, it was a top intensive course, for which I didn’t have to spend 4 years of study at the university, studying old or unnecessary methods. Also, even after employment, there will be technologies and practical tasks on them that can be studied in the future (Redux, Algorithms and data structures) and grow as a developer. I want to say a big thank you to Mate academy, and in particular to Yura, Pele, Artyom, Ilya, Alina, Alena and Igor for training, advice, without you, I would not have been able to become a Frontend Developer.
