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
Iryna Krasevych
UI/UX Designer
I always wanted to have a remote job and a flexible schedule. On the advice of a friend who is a designer, I chose UI/UX design at Beetroot Academy. The training began three weeks before the war, and the lessons became a drop of normality in the new reality. The teacher and classmates supported each other when everyone was scattered around the world. After graduation, I posted my project on LinkedIn, where it was supported by the Academy. Thanks to the wide coverage, three weeks later, an Academy graduate offered me a job with a German company.

Front-end development
Anastasiia Verbovska
Java Developer at SystemGroup
I received a diploma on completion of the Frontend development course from Beetroot Academy. My goal was to systematize knowledge and build a structured approach to development — and the course fully met expectations. I have defended three full-fledged projects and completed many practical tasks. I got special pleasure from the final project — my own Event Manager, which I supplemented with a full backend, creating a Full Stack solution. Even after completing the course, I still have many ideas and inspiration for its development.

Iryna Vaskevych
Freelance SMM&Content Creator
Thank you for the training, feedback, and support! Halfway through the course, I was already actively looking for a job in IT. It was a period of constant anxiety, doubts, rejections, new attempts, new interviews, and long waits. Then it hit me: when you're persistent in pursuing your goal, when you don't give up after the first rejections, when you work on yourself every day and try again — you get results!

Glad to share that I completed the HR in IT course at Beetroot Academy. These 4 months have been a period of deep insights and professional growth for me. The training was about real cases, practice, teamwork, and brainstorms. Thank you Nastya Ivanytska and Maria Smiyusa for their support, inspiration and psychologically safe space in which you could learn, ask questions and make mistakes without fear. This path has helped me to feel better about myself, understand my true goals in HR, and determine the direction of further development.

Hooray! I completed the Project Management course in IT at Beetroot Academy! Lots of practical experience: task planning, working with requirements, Agile/Scrum/Kanban, Jira, and Confluence. I also did a small pet project: a project plan for developing a Telegram chatbot for a bookstore. Many thanks to Yaroslav Kalugin for his support, cool insights, and mentorship. It was super useful and really inspiring to apply new skills right now.

Five months of intensive training in front-end development at Beetroot Academy are behind me — my first step and foundation for my future career in development. Main projects: responsive landing page, interactive JS application, and React application with dynamic functionality. A pleasant bonus of the training was the friendly atmosphere of the group and the mentorship of Ivan Vasilenko, who broke down technical concepts into simple real-life examples.

UI/UX design
Sofia Bilienkova
UX/UI, SMM and Graphic Designer
My journey in UX/UI design began in 2022 (it feels like an eternity ago). My first and most fundamental course was at Beetroot Academy. We delved deeply into design thinking methodology and mastered UX research methods, which I still use in my work today. At the same time, we studied the basics of Figma, which became critical for my further education and development in design. I am always happy to share this experience and consider it one of the best decisions in my educational history.

A new profession, knowledge, a new passion, new acquaintances, motivation and aspirations — all this I got together with the diploma in HR Generalist in IT from Beetroot Academy 👏 Was it easy? Definitely not.

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.
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.
