There is always a “but” before the start. Let's figure it out

Fear

The Ukrainian IT market is currently experiencing a downturn — it is very difficult to find a job. Beginners are no longer needed.

Jobs for IT beginners are growing: according to DOU, the market has grown by more than 260% — from 213 jobs in December 2022 to 680 in December 2025. 80% of our graduates who started from scratch find jobs in IT — thanks to practical skills, working with real problems, developing software skills and portfolios Lio.

Distrust

Starting from scratch, even without a technical background, this mission is impossible.

Most of our graduates came to IT from other fields — from education to management. In IT, logical thinking, attentiveness and willingness to learn are important, not just a profile diploma. Experience from another industry is not an obstacle, but a foundation on which to lean. We show how to apply it in a new profession.

Uncertainty

And suddenly I will not succeed? I will not have time and will not be able to master everything and find a job.

This thought appears in almost everyone before the start - and this is normal. Doubts do not mean that you will not cope. They mean that you are entering into something new and important. You don't need to know everything in advance. It is enough to take the first step — then we will be there and help to move on.

Our Students' Stories

Real stories of those who studied at the Academy. They help to better understand the process, expectations, and changes that systemic self-work can lead to.

UI/UX design

Vika Shchipakova

Graphic Designer, UI/UX Designer

I just finished the UI/UX Design course at Beetroot Academy. These five months have been very intense — full of learning, challenges, and growth. I am glad I chose this academy: I gained a lot of useful knowledge, met wonderful people, and realized that design is really what I want to do. Now I feel more confident and ready for new challenges in the world of design. It was an incredible experience.

HR generalist: HR and recruitment

Tatyana Yavorska

HR Generalist at NDA

I officially got my diploma in the HR Generalist course at Beetroot Academy! This path was not always easy, but certainly extremely valuable. I discovered new horizons in HR, gained practical knowledge and confidence that it is with people and for people that I want to build my professional future. A huge thank you to Beetroot Academy for their quality teaching, support and inspiration. This diploma is not just a document. It is a symbol of my work, development and the start of a new career path

Digital marketing

Serhiy Synyak

SEO specialist at Vela

I was looking for my path in IT and settled on digital marketing. Beetroot Academy attracted me with the opportunity to try different areas of marketing to understand what exactly I liked. The highly experienced teachers shared real-life case studies and were always open to communication. Working on a charity project with a teacher proved to be particularly valuable — it was my first practical experience for my resume. Thanks to the high-quality training, I received a job offer as an SEO specialist two days before the end of the course.

Ksenia K.

Project Manager at WTT Solutions

I completed the Agile, Scrum & Kanban with AI workshop at Beetroot Academy — a concise but very practical format on agile frameworks, working with backlogs, user stories, and sprint planning with AI tools. Special thanks to Tim Vertogradov for the clear structure and engaging presentation — there was plenty of motivation even during blackouts.

Python development

Dar'ya Stepanenko

Prompt Engineer and Unicorn Nest

The war became a time to rethink my priorities and finally do what I had always been interested in — programming in Python. Beetroot Academy attracted me with its program that did not focus on web development and its excellent teachers who explained complex topics several times. Even during power outages, the training was organized flawlessly. After the course, I focused on data science and machine learning, chose to freelance, and now work on AI projects. Thanks to the Academy, I gained a solid foundation for development in this field.

HR generalist: HR and recruitment

Kateryna Pavlovska

Human Resources Specialist

My journey in HR and recruiting lasted 5 months at Beetroot Academy. During this time, I met people close in spirit and values, and as a bonus — real professionals. Viktoriia Yakovleva and Elena Chernyshenko shared their experience from real practice, reminding us: HR is not about templates, but about people, empathy and flexibility. My goal was to update knowledge in the field of HR, to see modern approaches in recruitment, HR analytics, adaptation, motivation and EVP. Training has become for me a complete renewal of professional thinking.

UI/UX design

Oksana Dyachenko

UI/UX Designer

I am happy to officially announce a new stage in my career. After several months of studying, practicing, and hundreds of hours in Figma, I completed the UI/UX Design program at Beetroot Academy and created a portfolio that I am truly proud of. Changing careers was not easy, but this journey taught me resilience and focus and showed me how much I enjoy solving problems through design. I enjoy transforming complex issues into simple and intuitive digital solutions, and I look forward to further development in this field.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who are your teachers? Where do they work and do they have teaching experience?

All our teachers are middle+ level practitioners working in Ukrainian and international IT companies.

Before they start teaching, they are interviewed by a recruiter and conduct a demo lesson under the supervision of an expert. This helps us to be sure that you will learn from people who know their business well.

What training formats do you offer?

Depending on the chosen direction, we offer different training formats.

For beginners — intensive courses lasting several months. For experts and teams — more formats: workshops, workshops and mini-courses. They differ in duration, balance of theory and practice, and size of the group.

To choose a format that meets your needs, sign up for a free consultation. Our educational advisors will help you choose the program so that your training gives the maximum result.

What payment options are available?

We want everyone to have access to quality technical education. We understand that finances can be disturbing, so we offer several payment options:
‍
- Full payment immediately
- Monthly payments
- Installments from Mono and Privat 

Talk to our educational advisors — they will help you choose a convenient format and tell you how to arrange everything.

How do you form curricula?

Our courses are created by middle+ level practitioners. They work in the field now and know what skills employers need.

We regularly update the programs for beginners and experts to meet the requirements of the market. For teams, we develop individual programs for specific needs.

The Academy is part of the Beetroot ecosystem. Therefore, we know firsthand what challenges IT professionals face and take this into account in training.

Who will help with technical issues during training?

A manager is assigned to each group. Their task is to make your learning comfortable and enjoyable.

Managers will help you with access, tell you the schedule and remind you about payment. You can always contact them with any question, even technical ones.

How do I access educational materials?

All materials are stored in our Learning Platform (LMS). There you will find lesson records, assignments and teachers' comments on your work.

There is a built-in calendar with a schedule, a list of topics and a chatbot to support during training. All in one place.

The best thing is access forever. You will be able to return to the materials even after the end of the course.

How long does training take?

It depends on the format you choose.

Occupational courses last several months, and workshops - several hours.

The exact duration of the program and how much time it is worth devoting to training will be told by our educational consultants.

Is it possible to study in parallel with work?

Yes! Most of our students combine study with work.

The schedule is created specifically for those who work full time. Do not have time for the lesson? There is always a record for self-study.

Our teachers are open to questions and will help you figure out what you missed. The main thing is your desire to learn.

Is it possible to transfer the training to another stream?

We understand that sometimes a pause is required. Life is unpredictable.

We solve such issues individually. We are always open to dialogue and are looking for an option that suits you.

The main thing is not to be silent. Contact the managers, and together we will find a solution.

Do you need to know English to start studying there?

We do not require knowledge of English, but we recommend a level of at least Pre-Intermediate.

Why English is important:
- 70-90% of useful materials — in English
- Without English it is difficult to find a job in IT
- Most programs and documentation in international companies — in English

Therefore, it is better to learn English already while studying, for example, through the Beetroot Academy English Club — it can be attended during the course.
