SkillsUp

Currently, I am a military person in the field of psychology, but I felt the need to change the direction of activity and switch to automation. Interestingly, artificial intelligence helped me find the perfect training: I asked ChatGPT for advice, and he recommended SkillsUp. Since I came to the course from scratch, I had to spend extra time in the evenings, but due to my great desire, this process brought me nothing but pleasure. I was most impressed by the practice, when a full-fledged system is born from basic connections and logic. Based on my interests, I created an AI fitness assistant capable of accepting applications, dividing clients into groups and providing recommendations based on artificial intelligence. Huge thanks to the curator for constant communication and help with all difficulties. My main advice for beginners is not to be afraid: until you try, you won't understand it or not, so you just have to take it and do it. Now I have already collected the first portfolio and with inspiration I plan to develop further in this area.

Systematic approach to team management. Practices and tools

Having made my way from developer and DevOps to manager, I did a lot of things in working with people purely intuitively. A problem forced me to turn to training: I noticed that the team began to lose motivation, people became less proactive and closed in their tasks, as if in a shell. The People Manager Toolkit course helped me get out of my "status" and look at processes through the eyes of employees. The work with motivational cards and classes about the company's values ignited the most. It turned out that some employees simply did not understand their role and the global goal towards which we are all running. After the course, I changed my approach to onboarding, began to devote more time to feedback and development plans. And it works - now I see people opening up, coming with ideas and questions themselves. This course is ideal for those technical specialists who have moved into management and want to systematize their knowledge to finally understand why and how people management tools work.

Business analysis in IT with AI integration

Working in the product team, I was constantly faced with the need to engage a business analyst. At some point, I understood: it makes sense to learn this myself and to close tangential issues independently. Training helped me put everything on the shelves and organize the "mess in my head" that was at the beginning. Although my final project — the development of an AI chatbot for a bank — was only an educational concept, I now feel that I have enough practical experience to implement similar tasks in real life. I was most fascinated by modeling, because visualization of processes is incredibly helpful! My personal battle with the "boss" was the topic of CI/CD and team interaction - I had to listen to these lectures several times. But my biggest victory is that I did complete the course from start to finish, despite the crazy workload outside of studies. Now artificial intelligence has become my constant assistant in writing texts and creating macros for Excel. If I could give advice to myself at the beginning, I would say only one thing: "Start earlier!". And for those who doubt, I advise you to take the course in parallel with your current activity - this is the best way to understand what the real essence of this profession is.

Marina

Software testing and quality assurance

What drove me to change careers was my desire to set a good example for my children. After years of working as a warehouse manager, I decided to return to IT, choosing QA. The training was a challenge: for my very first assignment, I came up with a complex home server project, but that only helped me reinforce the theory. What inspired me the most was the hands-on experience with real SkillsUp projects—we hunted for bugs and worked with Jira, Postman, and Notion. For me, IT is like a narrow, rickety ladder that’s harder to climb than the comfortable stairs of my previous job. But it leads much higher! A huge thank you to our instructor Marina for her passion and the sparkle in her eyes. This crash course gave me what matters most: self-confidence and the realization that I should never give up.

Serhii Cherno

Software testing and quality assurance

I’m 17, still in 11th grade, and preparing for the NMT, but I decided not to just waste my savings—I wanted to invest them in my education. On my tutor’s advice, I enrolled in the QA program at SkillsUp. To be honest, it was tough at first. Without a technical foundation, the theory and working with requirements were tough—I had to Google a lot of terms or figure them out using neural networks. But once the hands-on part started—I was hooked! I especially loved testing a real project for a charity and writing test cases. I really got into working with Postman (I’d even like to get more practice with it). The course exceeded my expectations! Right now, I’m about 50/50 ready for a job, since I still need to pass my exams and bring my English up to B1. But as soon as I pass the NMT, I’m diving right into IT!

Nazarii Yeriemieiev

Business analysis in IT with AI integration

I’d been wanting to try something new for a long time and make a change from my routine work with documents. Testing seemed like the most straightforward way to get started in IT. I chose SkillsUp based on recommendations from friends and because of its convenient format: I learned through video lessons at my own pace, which was perfect for my schedule. I used to think that QA was just “clicking around a website and writing a report.” It turned out I needed to know a bunch of tools and work with a huge amount of documentation! Not having a technical background didn’t hold me back at all. There were tough topics, and sometimes I had to redo my homework several times, but I gradually started to understand everything. So far, I’ve only built a foundation, and I plan to keep practicing and deepening my knowledge. But if you’re hesitating—just give it a try and see it through to the end!

Many thanks to Oleksiy Pedorenko for the excellent Java course from scratch, Java-practice (level 1)! The course was very voluminous and interesting)))

Huge thanks to Anastasia Pedorenko! The knowledge, skills and useful tips gained during the Diving into Software Testing course are very valuable and useful. I hope that finding a job with such a background will not be a problem)

Egor Men'kov

Software testing and quality assurance

I tried to find suitable testing courses for quite a long time. Based on good reviews from friends and acquaintances, she confidently chose SkillsUp. After analyzing the prices for other courses, I concluded that the ratio of price and quality is simply gorgeous. Plus, the venue and time were very suitable (center, 6:30 p.m., since I work until 5:30 p.m., the time was perfect). Regarding the presentation of material, it is very important for me how a person presents information and how he behaves. Nastyusha Pedorenko is wonderful, excellent presentation of the material. A person does not load "clever" words so that it is difficult for you to understand what is being discussed, Nastya explained as clearly as possible and skillfully held the audience, and her examples simply stick in the memory :) I want to note one of the best databases on materials. We must say a special thank you to Maryna Melnyk. Also this year IT Weekend was devoted to Scrum time, so what can I say, you will be told much better about Scrum here. She was satisfied with the courses. I think these are not the last courses I took at SkillsUp.

I direct my talents and experience in the direction of IT Business Analysis. The guys from SkillsUp help on this thorny path, thanks to their advice it was possible to organize the ocean of information. Olga Simchak, Marina Melnyk, thank you very much!

Anna Ponomarenko

She decided to change her specialization and go into testing. I chose the courses at SkillsUp and not for nothing. She received all the necessary information, knowledge and practice. Thank you very much. Special thanks to my coaches: Dmytro Nekrasov and Anastasia Pedorenko.

Anastasia S

I recommend this school because: 1. Good, high-quality classes are held; 2. The educational material is given in English — at first it is difficult and you have to understand it, BUT it is worth it; 3. Good organization of the learning process, as well as loyalty to the payment format for classes. Thanks to the SkillsUp team!

Polina Novikova

This is my second SkillsUp event. Many positive impressions, which are supported by the knowledge gained (I hope they will be useful to me;)). In classes, there is a lot of information about how everything is used in practice, what is popular and what is not. You will not find this information in the textbook. The only thing I would like to add is the possibility to watch the presentation not only in class, but also, for example, at home.

SQL Fundamentals

I am very glad that I was lucky enough to become a SkillsUp student =) First, I got into the course "SQL Fundamentals", then "Java from scratch" and now I have "Java-practice" ahead of me and this is not the end =) A huge thank you to Denis and Lyosha for their patience and sensitivity) The information is provided easily and accessible, but the most important thing is that you start to love what you learn =) And you can only learn well because you love)))

Yulia Olexenko

Project Management Basics

Studied at the "Diving into Project Management" course. Excellent theoretical training is reinforced by practical examples. Trainers — practitioners from IT companies — share their experience. The course is not "for a tick", so you have to work constantly and a lot throughout the course. But IMHO the result is worth the effort.

Kostya Kremenchutskiy

At the moment, I have completed two courses: Java 0 and Java 1. I liked the approach of the team of teachers who know how to interest and support in difficult situations. I am sincerely grateful to coaches Denys and Sasha for their attitude and motivation to develop.

Stanislav Lentsov

Thanks to the SkillsUp team for the exciting Diving into Java. "Java from scratch" flew by with a bang, now a Java practitioner (1st level). Impressions are only positive, additional classes are also possible if necessary, a lot of practice and consultations by skype and email, everything is aimed at achieving results! I recommend

Maxim Lysenko

Thank you, SkillsUp team, for the excellent organization of the educational process! Qualitative theory + real practice + interesting homework + fast and adequate feedback = SkillsUp. I recommend! She completed the Diving into Software testing and Diving into Scrum Methodology courses. After completing the courses, she got a position in a large IT company. PS: Marina, Dima, Nastya, Lina, Olya — you are great! Good luck to you!

Yuliia Zhytnia

I was very pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere in which our whole group studied. During the training process, our teachers, current program managers and project managers immersed us in the real process so much that I felt like a part of the project led by their entire team and we were really interested in the success of the future release. I advise everyone to visit the courses at SkillsUp and make sure of the quality of training, and also remember that success directly depends on your efforts. All the best and good luck.

In April, she finished the "Diving into Project Management" course. The course is very interesting, 2 hours of classes flew by imperceptibly. Many practical tasks that really immerse you in Project Management. Thanks to the trainers for their knowledge, experience, and quick feedback. The organization of the learning process is excellent, the presentation of the material is very interesting, the atmosphere in the classes is friendly and fun. Now I'm looking forward to classes in the "Diving into Business Analysis" course. Thanks to the entire SkillsUp team!

Kseniia Kashcheieva

Thanks to the team of SkillsUp trainers, for very cool and difficult homework, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the presentation of the material, all from real practice, and not just bare theory. In order to get the cherished certificate, I had to sweat a lot, it turns out that they don't give it so easily for beautiful eyes) and homework helped a lot at the interview, thanks to SkillsUp I found a job!!!!! ))))))))) Thank you very much, I think we will see each other on other courses, I recommend!!!!

Anton Pecherytsia

SQL Fundamentals

I graduated from the SQL Fundamentals course in February 2016. I am very satisfied with the quality of the knowledge I received and the teaching method. The course was taught by Denys Skalenko, a very responsible and energetic person who explained the material very succinctly and simply, answered all questions, and paid attention to everyone. If there were problems with mastering the material, he explained with examples until everyone understands and understands the new information. SkillsUp is a place of friendly, young, active and purposeful people. As soon as you enter the walls of SkillsUp, the head of the training center, Misha Chokan, surrounds you with attention and is eager to help in solving all kinds of issues. Candy and coffee with tea before class is a nice compliment for all SkillsUp students ))))) Thanks to the SkillsUp team for the knowledge gained!! I recommend it to everyone!!!!!!

Marina Guglia

Project Management Basics

In August, she completed the "Diving into Project Management" course. It was difficult and difficult. But he is worth it! The knowledge and skills presented in this course are simply necessary for a Project Manager. Now many issues are solved faster and easier. A huge thank you to the SkillsUp team! I recommend it to everyone :)

Julia Saltanova

My son finished the "Immersion in Android" course, on his behalf I thank Dmytro Ilchenko, who led this course - he gave the necessary base, then you have to develop yourself. Thanks to admin Mykhailo for organizing the courses (in shaga, such courses last 12 months, in level up - 6 months, in skillsup in 2 months without water and unnecessary lyrics).

Alexander Savin

Fundamentals of Business Analysis in organizations

She completed the Skills Marathon and "Diving into Business Analysis" courses. A huge thank you to the SkillsUp team! The guys give a huge amount of knowledge, practices, "live cases". After the courses, I not only increased my productivity, but also increased the efficiency of the team. I highly recommend SkillsUp to everyone who wants to develop and move forward!

Olga Kalinina

Fundamentals of Business Analysis in organizations

Completed the Diving into Business Analysis course. I want to share my impressions about participation in Skills Marathon: Scrum. In the Scrum marathon, there was an understanding of how it works in reality. The theory was superimposed on the practical experience of using Scrum in life by our teachers. It was very informative that the speakers were different people who lead different roles in projects and usually use their individual experience when working with their teams. We analyzed specific practical things that do not seem to be related to Scrum, but help to do Scrum, not "scrum, but...". And these are practical things that you take and apply. Some comparisons and explanations that made it possible to look at Scrum from a different angle were very memorable. I think it is very telling that our meetings were regularly delayed, but at the same time it was interesting and exciting, there was lively communication and involvement. It was like reading an interesting book before going to bed - as if it's time to go to bed and get up early tomorrow, but you still keep reading :) Thank you very much for holding such an event. For me personally, my knowledge was upgraded and I reached another level of understanding of the Scrum framework. Well, of course, these are specific things that have already made changes in my current work.

Oleksiy Bublyk

Finished Skills Marathon "Scrum". It is a very comprehensive course, its main advantage is the experts who work according to this methodology in various positions and know all the details and subtleties arising from its application. I recommend the course to everyone who needs to really understand this topic and apply Scrum in practice, evaluate its advantages and disadvantages. A condition for successful completion of the course is SFC SCRUMstudy certification

Aleksandr Huslistyi

Finished Diving into Java: Beginner. I had programming experience, and I thought it would be very easy, but it is worth noting that the presented material greatly expanded my knowledge in OOP, and the homework helped me learn the material from the lectures even more. I would also like to note that if the homework turned out to be not enough, the teacher (Lev Sivashov led our course) will give additional very non-trivial tasks. Moreover, the tasks are really very interesting to solve. I really liked the fact that almost at any time of the day or night, the teacher was on call, very quickly checked the homework and gave detailed feedback, forcing me to brainstorm on my own if something was unclear. Thanks in large part to the courses, I received a favorable offer for the position of Automation QA Engineer. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to start programming, as well as to those who have experience.

Yevgeny Krotanko

I took two courses at SkillsUp: - Java from scratch; — Java practitioner 1; At first, I came to the course without any knowledge of programming (except that I started learning Basic as a child) and before that I did not work in IT at all, but in ZED. However, after the first course, I already understood the basics of Java, could write console programs and simple desktop programs on JavaFX. In the second year (Java-practice 1), attention was mainly paid not so much directly to the code, but to tools and frameworks (Git, Maven, Spring, Hibernate, etc.). This confused me at first. At the end of the course, we each wrote our own web application, passed the exam and received certificates. I am satisfied with the results of the courses — I received basic knowledge and skills that can be used as a starting point and to move further in this field. I recommend it to everyone. However, I would like to note a few points that I think are important for understanding: - No one will give you a magic injection, after which you will immediately begin to understand everything. The trainer only directs in which direction to dig, explains the basics and answers the questions that arise. But you need to work a lot on your own. No way without it. - If you think you know the topic, still listen carefully - if you went to the courses, then you do not know everything, and any gap in the basics - can cost you dearly later (like a defect in the foundation when building a house). - The more you learn, the more you will understand that you know nothing. In this field, you need to learn constantly, and it is impossible to know everything. — The most important thing you will learn on the courses is to study. Such matters =).

Anton Kalmykov

Project Management Basics

I took the Diving into Project Management course — I was generally satisfied with the results. On the one hand, there was a very large group at the beginning, since we listened to the first part of the course together with business analysts, but on the other hand, it was not bad, since we practiced tasks with them in the future, dividing into pairs and simulating real situations that could arise at work. The course provided a lot of useful information, which, it seemed to me, was developed according to the standards of the best companies on the market, but here's one thing - when I got a job, I encountered the fact that in small companies everything is structured more simply, or in a different way, and the knowledge gained in the courses is quite difficult to put into practice :) As in principle and in many courses, the bet is on homework, and the fact that you will not be lazy, but will read and study something in parallel with the materials that are given on lectures In general, I really liked the course, I would recommend it to everyone who is going to work as a PM, or who is already at the beginning of their career and wants to improve their qualifications, for employment in a more profitable position, for example.

Stas Morgun

Just a few weeks ago, I finished the Diving into Java: Beginner course. I am very grateful to the SkillsUP team and our trainer in particular (Anton, hello to you!:) ). I will not say that it was easy, the volume of information was quite large, questions often arose, but our sensei was ready to answer any of them practically 24/7. Of course, homework and practice played a very important role, without them the knowledge gained in lectures and independent work would quickly evaporate. I was also pleased with the friendly, positive atmosphere during the series of lectures. Personally, I got a good base on Java Core and now I am going through Java practice 1, which promises to be no less interesting and informative :)

Denis Berezanskii

I finished the course Diving into Java: Beginner and now I am taking Java practice 1. I am very satisfied with the quality of the training, as the trainers have a perfect command of the material and are ready to answer any question. It is also worth noting the high quality of educational materials, which were prepared by the school's trainers based on their own many years of work experience. It is also impossible not to mention the friendly administrators who are always ready to help and advise. I am grateful to the SkillsUp team, thanks to whom I have gained a lot of knowledge in the field of Java development.

Ivan Syniukov

I took a Java course with Oleksiy Pedorenko, here's what I can say: 1. Semester zero was wonderful, everything was clear and transparent... 2. The second was scary, HOWEVER, it was my childish imagination then, now (after a year of work) I understood the whole meaning of that semester! The main thing is to tell what technologies there are, to give direction... and to teach students to figure things out themselves... Otherwise, you will not survive in this field :-) Now this skill helps a lot to move on...

Ivan Bolshak

I passed the Diving into Java: Practice 1 course. After the first Java course, it was really difficult, but if you try, you can do everything. Trainers do their best to help this. I was very pleased that the course covers not only programming, but also opens up for you the basics of a full cycle of product development; tells how everything works in real companies. Of course, we don't forget to prepare for the interviews that excite us all :) In general, students are prepared in every possible way for "adult" life, and this, in my opinion, is great.

Oleg Kolomoiets

Software testing and quality assurance

I have been familiar with SkillsUp since 2014. I took the Diving into Software Testing and Test Automation courses at SkillsUp, I was satisfied with the knowledge I received, which I still use today. Trainers are always open and ready to help. Can I recommend these courses — I have already recommended them)) moreover, I am also taking my next course here)

Dasha Osipova

I enjoyed the course SkillsUp — Diving into Java: Beginner (Java from scratch). Densely (although, looking at the amount of material under the hood, I realize that I don't know that much) I got acquainted with the new for me Java language. The coach came across as very qualified and knowledgeable, explaining a lot. Therefore, learning was pleasant, interesting and useful. The acquired knowledge is enough to ask the right questions and understand the received answers. I believe that this course is very suitable for a beginner in programming, which I am. I recommend! And Artyom Guzychenko should be given a prize for a quality approach to teaching his students :)

Vitalij Horbatenko

I finished the course Diving into Java: Beginner (Java from scratch) at SkillsUp, the feeling after completing the course is very positive. At first, when I was looking at training centers where you can learn the basics of the Java language, I had to study the reviews of former students about the most diverse organizations in which they studied, the most interesting thing is that I did not find negative content about SkillsUp, and here at the most crucial moment, when the time came to decide, I heard a tip from a friend, a former student of the SkillsUp: Diving into Java: Practice 1 and android development courses, now it works in a large java developer. And I decided, and I never once regretted it, coach Artem Guzychenko taught me, I am very grateful to him for the answers I received, for the well-systematized presentation of the material, and for comprehensive support throughout the course. I am already a student of the course Diving into Java: Practice 1, even before the start of this course I already managed to apply the knowledge gained in practice at my work, and earn from it. It is very inspiring and empowering to deepen one's knowledge. All I can advise you to study the course as effectively as possible, do not wait for manna from heaven, knock and it will be opened to you, in this case the SkillsUp trainers, they always come to meet you, do not hesitate to ask questions if you do not understand something, look stupid because of your lack of understanding of the material in front of your fellow students, the main thing is to go forward and not stop, spend time studying at home, no one will put knowledge in your head without your diligence. Work and your efforts will be justified.

Maksim Lukin

I came to SkillsUp on the recommendation of friends and did not regret the choice I made. I recently finished the Diving into Java: Beginner course and am currently taking Java Practice 1. The trainers know their business, the material is presented in an accessible manner and is explained clearly, another matter is that not everyone can absorb all the material presented at once. The course program is quite dense and each lesson is saturated with a lot of new information, therefore, my advice to you is to avoid brain explosion during the lesson — try to familiarize yourself with the material of the upcoming lecture in advance, since there are enough resources for this (Google and YouTube will help you). In general, impressions from the courses are positive. Thanks to the coaches for the interesting training and the organizers for the buns and coffee in each class! There will be more

Took the course "Immersion in software testing and quality assurance" in 2017. I was very satisfied. Trainers Oleksandr and Yulia are at their best. Information was provided easily and very clearly. After completing the courses, I was able to apply the acquired knowledge at work and improved the quality of the testing process. I highly recommend SkillsUp. At the moment, I am studying the course "Immersion in Java" with Artem Guzychenko. The material is provided just as easily and clearly. Thanks to the SkillsUp team!)

Artem Maximov

SQL Fundamentals

I study at SkillsUp regularly. My first course was "SQL Fundamentals" - learned some new knowledge, despite the fact that I had a base. I also tried the "Automation of software testing" courses, unfortunately, I was unable to successfully complete them due to weak technical training. Teachers try to understand the material and work with each student. SkillsUp has democratic prices, a flexible system of discounts and an individual approach to each client. SkillsUp is located in a convenient location, on the territory of the "Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts" - it is easy to get to. Among the shortcomings, only the temperature problems of the university itself can be noted - it is cool in winter (the university does not heat in winter, and stationary heaters sometimes do not cope with the volume of the room), and in summer it is hot until 19:00, despite the windows and doors being open.

Edgar Hajtuk

At SkillsUp, he completed the course Diving into Java: Beginner (Java from scratch). Before that, he had some idea of the Java language, but his knowledge was not systematized and had many gaps. After the course, everything fell into place in my head. Naturally, the main work in education falls on the person who studies and sometimes it is difficult, but the coaches help a lot with this, thanks to Artem Guzichenko (very active and positive, shows everything with examples, which is a huge plus for me). Now I started taking the course Diving into Java: practice 1, coach Oleksiy Pedorenko (extends the material very coolly). Several of my friends and acquaintances have already completed the Diving into Java courses and are already working, which can be a good indicator of the effectiveness of the courses.

Roman Litvinenko

SQL Fundamentals

I finished SQL and Project Management courses at SkillsUp. Excellent courses for everyone who wants to master these directions in the IT field. Classes at SkillsUp are rich, informative and interesting. Teachers inspire during the learning process, the material is presented in an accessible way and with examples. Lots of homework and practice — all this helped me systematize my knowledge and gain new ones. She has never once regretted connecting her life with SkillsUp. I recommend these courses to those who care about their professional future.

Anastasiia Bochelenkova

Project Management Basics

I recently finished the "diving into project management" course. I really liked the teacher. Explains clearly and consistently. Gives examples from real projects. It will always help to figure things out if you are stuck on a question. And they also help with employment :)

Danny Kaibulaiev

Java 0 courses are good for a start. Recently graduated. It should not be forgotten that Beginner (Java from scratch) is a work not only in the classroom. Without fixing the material during homework, the acquired knowledge quickly evaporates. I liked that the study was on the computer, and not according to the synopsis :-)

Oleksandr Tsyb

I passed Java 0 and Java 1. In general, the impression from the company and teachers is very good. Mykhailo, the head of the company, is a very open and sensitive person who always "comes to meet" and is ready to help. If there are organizational issues or difficulties, you can safely go to him and a solution will be found, or maybe several, to choose from)) I would like to personally thank Oleksiy Pedorenko, he taught the Java 1 course. He is a professional and an excellent teacher. The whole course is very rich in information - just have time to digest and practice. Of course, the understanding of everything does not come immediately, but if you do not understand, Oleksiy will explain and clarify the nuances. An open person and a professional in his field. You want to learn from such a person and it is probably very pleasant to work with him. I could write a lot about him for a long time, but I will limit myself to a BIG THANK YOU and hope to work under his leadership in the future. Thanks SkillsUp. If I look for IT courses in the future, I will go here first. And I recommend it to everyone!

Ihor Shulha

Recently, I took part in the online training format "Agile Certified Professional". My goal was: to structure knowledge, to find additional approaches and methods of effective team work, to get tips on how to develop our team. And I got what I wanted. To be honest, I didn't expect much from the online format, but it turned out that it wasn't a problem for coach Denys Ryzykh and he was ready. The presentation of the material was structured and seasoned with examples from one's own practice. It is clear that a person has cooked in this kitchen. In addition to the approaches and practices known to me, alternative, quite interesting and effective ones were worked out. As a result, the next stage of process transformation in our team began. As always, colleagues are extremely happy about it ;) So, my feedback is positive. I took away useful information and practices from this training. Formed a vision of changes in the team. Of what could be better... I didn't have enough time. Two days were busy and flew by quickly. Due to the fact that the topic is extremely broad, it is impossible to process everything in the allotted time. I would like to. Especially since the coach was ready to answer. Denis would have enough material for at least as much time. Obtaining an international name certificate was a bonus. +1 in the piggy bank. Thanks to Denys Ryzykh, SkillsUp and Maryna Melnyk for the opportunity to participate in this course. It was useful and interesting.

Hello everyone. I came to SkillsUp on the recommendation of friends. I had nothing to do with IT, but in just a few classes of the Diving into Business Analysis course, I completely immersed myself in this world. I want to say thank you to our trainer Maryna Melnyk for the in-depth presentation of information in an understandable language!

Valentin Zaitsev

Project Management Basics

In 2020, she took the Diving into Project Management course at SkillsUp with Maryna Melnyk (online format). In the online format, she worked exclusively by appointment due to the peculiarities of her personal temporary schedule. Yes, indeed, the material itself is complex. Homework after each lecture is also very difficult. There were 28 classes, a rather strict time schedule. But it is valuable that the cases, a set of material, topics and tasks are taken from real practice. SkillsUp's loyalty is valuable both in terms of the training regime, and in terms of payment terms, and in terms of the terms of preparation of tasks. Of course, having coped with these tasks and understanding their practical application, you feel much more confident. Special thanks to manager Svetlana for quick response to any question/request. Special thanks to the lecturer Maryna Melnyk for effective communication: during the entire course, with any unclear question (I repeat, I listened to the lectures and then did the homework exclusively on the records) I contacted and they explained to me in detail and helped me cope with all the difficulties and they supported me in any way and were ready to help.

Recently completed the HR and talent management course. I immediately felt a huge difference compared to another speaker. Marina explained everything in a very approachable and easy way, and most importantly gave practice, a lot of practice. I received invaluable experience and knowledge that I use in my work. Thank you very much for your professionalism. I recommend the courses to everyone I know, and I will be glad to take them again and improve my skills.

Completed the Diving into Project Management course. Many thanks to Marina for the high-quality and systematic material, interesting presentation of information and prompt feedback! and most importantly, I applied the acquired knowledge to my project and it gave excellent results!

Daniel Pichkur

Fundamentals of Business Analysis in organizations

Just completed the "Diving into Business Analysis" course at SkillsUp. Without exaggeration, I will say that I am very glad that I found and chose this particular school to study. The course is very high-quality, meaningful, rich, but at the same time very interesting and clearly presented. Many thanks to the trainer and founder of SkillsUp Marina Melnyk for this. She really motivates and fascinates with the wealth of her knowledge. I would like to single out the actions of SkillsUp during the war - they opened access to the most popular courses completely free of charge, and training with a certificate was provided to everyone who wanted it at a huge discount. It means a lot to me! Therefore, if you choose a school in which you will really get high-quality and comprehensive knowledge, go to SkillsUp without hesitation. Here, you will definitely be in the safe hands of experienced trainers and you will complete the courses with a full package of knowledge for further career development. And I want to wish SkillsUp prosperity, growth and confident movement to the dream heights. Thank you for your work!

Thanks to the "Skillsup" company for the "Diving into software testing and quality assurance" course! It was interesting, fast and productive! All the coaches are great, but Marina Melnyk is a fantastic speaker! In an hour or a half, she told a lot of interesting information and explained the nuances using real examples. Everything is very dynamic, without water and without reading from a letter. It is very good that, in addition to the theory, there were stories about how it actually works and what are the subtleties. The teachers are well prepared, the presentations are made with high quality! Looking forward to your next course!

Maksym Nebesny

I completed the course “Diving into Project Approach in Life and Business,” taught by Marina Melnyk. Thank you for the incredibly valuable information, which was presented in a structured and easy-to-understand way. The homework assignments were well-designed, helping me immediately reinforce what I’d learned and giving me the opportunity to make progress on my project. Thank you, Marina, for your fantastic lectures. It was quite easy to stay engaged and interested despite the large volume of material. Your energy, professionalism, and ability to hold our attention made this learning experience both interesting and useful. Thank you so much for your work!

Data Analyst

I took the “Data Analyst” course from SkillsUp, taught by Maxim Fedorov, and was very satisfied! The course gave me a clear understanding of the role of a data analyst and how data work is organized within a company. I had previously been introduced to various analytics tools, but didn’t know how to apply them correctly to solve real-world business problems. The course curriculum was very well-structured: we covered analytics systems, product analytics, metrics, cohort and RFM analysis, A/B testing, data handling, and learned how to use Tableau. The combination of theory and hands-on exercises was particularly valuable—it helped me understand how to use data for product development. After the course, I felt more confident working with data and understood how to take a systematic approach to analytics in real-world projects. I recommend this course to anyone who wants to become a true data analyst!

Automation in Work and Business

Currently, I am a military person in the field of psychology, but I felt the need to change the direction of activity and switch to automation. Interestingly, artificial intelligence helped me find the perfect training: I asked ChatGPT for advice, and he recommended SkillsUp. Since I came to the course from scratch, I had to spend extra time in the evenings, but due to my great desire, this process brought me nothing but pleasure. I was most impressed by the practice, when a full-fledged system is born from basic connections and logic. Based on my interests, I created an AI fitness assistant capable of accepting applications, dividing clients into groups and providing recommendations based on artificial intelligence. Huge thanks to the curator for constant communication and help with all difficulties. My main advice for beginners is not to be afraid: until you try, you won't understand it or not, so you just have to take it and do it. Now I have already collected the first portfolio and with inspiration I plan to develop further in this area.

Systematic approach to team management. Practices and tools

Having made my way from developer and DevOps to manager, I did a lot of things in working with people purely intuitively. A problem forced me to turn to training: I noticed that the team began to lose motivation, people became less proactive and closed in their tasks, as if in a shell. The People Manager Toolkit course helped me get out of my "status" and look at processes through the eyes of employees. The work with motivational cards and classes about the company's values ignited the most. It turned out that some employees simply did not understand their role and the global goal towards which we are all running. After the course, I changed my approach to onboarding, began to devote more time to feedback and development plans. And it works - now I see people opening up, coming with ideas and questions themselves. This course is ideal for those technical specialists who have moved into management and want to systematize their knowledge to finally understand why and how people management tools work.

Business analysis in IT with AI integration

Working in the product team, I was constantly faced with the need to engage a business analyst. At some point, I understood: it makes sense to learn this myself and to close tangential issues independently. Training helped me put everything on the shelves and organize the "mess in my head" that was at the beginning. Although my final project — the development of an AI chatbot for a bank — was only an educational concept, I now feel that I have enough practical experience to implement similar tasks in real life. I was most fascinated by modeling, because visualization of processes is incredibly helpful! My personal battle with the "boss" was the topic of CI/CD and team interaction - I had to listen to these lectures several times. But my biggest victory is that I did complete the course from start to finish, despite the crazy workload outside of studies. Now artificial intelligence has become my constant assistant in writing texts and creating macros for Excel. If I could give advice to myself at the beginning, I would say only one thing: "Start earlier!". And for those who doubt, I advise you to take the course in parallel with your current activity - this is the best way to understand what the real essence of this profession is.

Marina

Software testing and quality assurance

What drove me to change careers was my desire to set a good example for my children. After years of working as a warehouse manager, I decided to return to IT, choosing QA. The training was a challenge: for my very first assignment, I came up with a complex home server project, but that only helped me reinforce the theory. What inspired me the most was the hands-on experience with real SkillsUp projects—we hunted for bugs and worked with Jira, Postman, and Notion. For me, IT is like a narrow, rickety ladder that’s harder to climb than the comfortable stairs of my previous job. But it leads much higher! A huge thank you to our instructor Marina for her passion and the sparkle in her eyes. This crash course gave me what matters most: self-confidence and the realization that I should never give up.

Software testing and quality assurance

I’m 17, still in 11th grade, and preparing for the NMT, but I decided not to just waste my savings—I wanted to invest them in my education. On my tutor’s advice, I enrolled in the QA program at SkillsUp. To be honest, it was tough at first. Without a technical foundation, the theory and working with requirements were tough—I had to Google a lot of terms or figure them out using neural networks. But once the hands-on part started—I was hooked! I especially loved testing a real project for a charity and writing test cases. I really got into working with Postman (I’d even like to get more practice with it). The course exceeded my expectations! Right now, I’m about 50/50 ready for a job, since I still need to pass my exams and bring my English up to B1. But as soon as I pass the NMT, I’m diving right into IT!

Nazarii Yeriemieiev

Business analysis in IT with AI integration

I’d been wanting to try something new for a long time and make a change from my routine work with documents. Testing seemed like the most straightforward way to get started in IT. I chose SkillsUp based on recommendations from friends and because of its convenient format: I learned through video lessons at my own pace, which was perfect for my schedule. I used to think that QA was just “clicking around a website and writing a report.” It turned out I needed to know a bunch of tools and work with a huge amount of documentation! Not having a technical background didn’t hold me back at all. There were tough topics, and sometimes I had to redo my homework several times, but I gradually started to understand everything. So far, I’ve only built a foundation, and I plan to keep practicing and deepening my knowledge. But if you’re hesitating—just give it a try and see it through to the end!

Maryna Zavadska

Many thanks to Oleksiy Pedorenko for the excellent Java course from scratch, Java-practice (level 1)! The course was very voluminous and interesting)))

Huge thanks to Anastasia Pedorenko! The knowledge, skills and useful tips gained during the Diving into Software Testing course are very valuable and useful. I hope that finding a job with such a background will not be a problem)

Egor Men'kov

Software testing and quality assurance

I tried to find suitable testing courses for quite a long time. Based on good reviews from friends and acquaintances, she confidently chose SkillsUp. After analyzing the prices for other courses, I concluded that the ratio of price and quality is simply gorgeous. Plus, the venue and time were very suitable (center, 6:30 p.m., since I work until 5:30 p.m., the time was perfect). Regarding the presentation of material, it is very important for me how a person presents information and how he behaves. Nastyusha Pedorenko is wonderful, excellent presentation of the material. A person does not load "clever" words so that it is difficult for you to understand what is being discussed, Nastya explained as clearly as possible and skillfully held the audience, and her examples simply stick in the memory :) I want to note one of the best databases on materials. We must say a special thank you to Maryna Melnyk. Also this year IT Weekend was devoted to Scrum time, so what can I say, you will be told much better about Scrum here. She was satisfied with the courses. I think these are not the last courses I took at SkillsUp.

I direct my talents and experience in the direction of IT Business Analysis. The guys from SkillsUp help on this thorny path, thanks to their advice it was possible to organize the ocean of information. Olga Simchak, Marina Melnyk, thank you very much!

Anna Ponomarenko

She decided to change her specialization and go into testing. I chose the courses at SkillsUp and not for nothing. She received all the necessary information, knowledge and practice. Thank you very much. Special thanks to my coaches: Dmytro Nekrasov and Anastasia Pedorenko.

Anastasia S

I recommend this school because: 1. Good, high-quality classes are held; 2. The educational material is given in English — at first it is difficult and you have to understand it, BUT it is worth it; 3. Good organization of the learning process, as well as loyalty to the payment format for classes. Thanks to the SkillsUp team!

Polina Novikova

This is my second SkillsUp event. Many positive impressions, which are supported by the knowledge gained (I hope they will be useful to me;)). In classes, there is a lot of information about how everything is used in practice, what is popular and what is not. You will not find this information in the textbook. The only thing I would like to add is the possibility to watch the presentation not only in class, but also, for example, at home.

SQL Fundamentals

I am very glad that I was lucky enough to become a SkillsUp student =) First, I got into the course "SQL Fundamentals", then "Java from scratch" and now I have "Java-practice" ahead of me and this is not the end =) A huge thank you to Denis and Lyosha for their patience and sensitivity) The information is provided easily and accessible, but the most important thing is that you start to love what you learn =) And you can only learn well because you love)))

Yulia Olexenko

Project Management Basics

Studied at the "Diving into Project Management" course. Excellent theoretical training is reinforced by practical examples. Trainers — practitioners from IT companies — share their experience. The course is not "for a tick", so you have to work constantly and a lot throughout the course. But IMHO the result is worth the effort.

Kostya Kremenchutskiy

At the moment, I have completed two courses: Java 0 and Java 1. I liked the approach of the team of teachers who know how to interest and support in difficult situations. I am sincerely grateful to coaches Denys and Sasha for their attitude and motivation to develop.

Stanislav Lentsov

Thanks to the SkillsUp team for the exciting Diving into Java. "Java from scratch" flew by with a bang, now a Java practitioner (1st level). Impressions are only positive, additional classes are also possible if necessary, a lot of practice and consultations by skype and email, everything is aimed at achieving results! I recommend

Maxim Lysenko

Software testing and quality assurance

Thank you, SkillsUp team, for the excellent organization of the educational process! Qualitative theory + real practice + interesting homework + fast and adequate feedback = SkillsUp. I recommend! She completed the Diving into Software testing and Diving into Scrum Methodology courses. After completing the courses, she got a position in a large IT company. PS: Marina, Dima, Nastya, Lina, Olya — you are great! Good luck to you!

Yuliia Zhytnia

I was very pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere in which our whole group studied. During the training process, our teachers, current program managers and project managers immersed us in the real process so much that I felt like a part of the project led by their entire team and we were really interested in the success of the future release. I advise everyone to visit the courses at SkillsUp and make sure of the quality of training, and also remember that success directly depends on your efforts. All the best and good luck.

In April, she finished the "Diving into Project Management" course. The course is very interesting, 2 hours of classes flew by imperceptibly. Many practical tasks that really immerse you in Project Management. Thanks to the trainers for their knowledge, experience, and quick feedback. The organization of the learning process is excellent, the presentation of the material is very interesting, the atmosphere in the classes is friendly and fun. Now I'm looking forward to classes in the "Diving into Business Analysis" course. Thanks to the entire SkillsUp team!

Kseniia Kashcheieva

Thanks to the team of SkillsUp trainers, for very cool and difficult homework, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the presentation of the material, all from real practice, and not just bare theory. In order to get the cherished certificate, I had to sweat a lot, it turns out that they don't give it so easily for beautiful eyes) and homework helped a lot at the interview, thanks to SkillsUp I found a job!!!!! ))))))))) Thank you very much, I think we will see each other on other courses, I recommend!!!!

SQL Fundamentals

I graduated from the SQL Fundamentals course in February 2016. I am very satisfied with the quality of the knowledge I received and the teaching method. The course was taught by Denys Skalenko, a very responsible and energetic person who explained the material very succinctly and simply, answered all questions, and paid attention to everyone. If there were problems with mastering the material, he explained with examples until everyone understands and understands the new information. SkillsUp is a place of friendly, young, active and purposeful people. As soon as you enter the walls of SkillsUp, the head of the training center, Misha Chokan, surrounds you with attention and is eager to help in solving all kinds of issues. Candy and coffee with tea before class is a nice compliment for all SkillsUp students ))))) Thanks to the SkillsUp team for the knowledge gained!! I recommend it to everyone!!!!!!

Marina Guglia

Project Management Basics

In August, she completed the "Diving into Project Management" course. It was difficult and difficult. But he is worth it! The knowledge and skills presented in this course are simply necessary for a Project Manager. Now many issues are solved faster and easier. A huge thank you to the SkillsUp team! I recommend it to everyone :)

Julia Saltanova

My son finished the "Immersion in Android" course, on his behalf I thank Dmytro Ilchenko, who led this course - he gave the necessary base, then you have to develop yourself. Thanks to admin Mykhailo for organizing the courses (in shaga, such courses last 12 months, in level up - 6 months, in skillsup in 2 months without water and unnecessary lyrics).

Alexander Savin

Fundamentals of Business Analysis in organizations

She completed the Skills Marathon and "Diving into Business Analysis" courses. A huge thank you to the SkillsUp team! The guys give a huge amount of knowledge, practices, "live cases". After the courses, I not only increased my productivity, but also increased the efficiency of the team. I highly recommend SkillsUp to everyone who wants to develop and move forward!

Olga Kalinina

Fundamentals of Business Analysis in organizations

Completed the Diving into Business Analysis course. I want to share my impressions about participation in Skills Marathon: Scrum. In the Scrum marathon, there was an understanding of how it works in reality. The theory was superimposed on the practical experience of using Scrum in life by our teachers. It was very informative that the speakers were different people who lead different roles in projects and usually use their individual experience when working with their teams. We analyzed specific practical things that do not seem to be related to Scrum, but help to do Scrum, not "scrum, but...". And these are practical things that you take and apply. Some comparisons and explanations that made it possible to look at Scrum from a different angle were very memorable. I think it is very telling that our meetings were regularly delayed, but at the same time it was interesting and exciting, there was lively communication and involvement. It was like reading an interesting book before going to bed - as if it's time to go to bed and get up early tomorrow, but you still keep reading :) Thank you very much for holding such an event. For me personally, my knowledge was upgraded and I reached another level of understanding of the Scrum framework. Well, of course, these are specific things that have already made changes in my current work.

Oleksiy Bublyk

Finished Skills Marathon "Scrum". It is a very comprehensive course, its main advantage is the experts who work according to this methodology in various positions and know all the details and subtleties arising from its application. I recommend the course to everyone who needs to really understand this topic and apply Scrum in practice, evaluate its advantages and disadvantages. A condition for successful completion of the course is SFC SCRUMstudy certification

Aleksandr Huslistyi

Finished Diving into Java: Beginner. I had programming experience, and I thought it would be very easy, but it is worth noting that the presented material greatly expanded my knowledge in OOP, and the homework helped me learn the material from the lectures even more. I would also like to note that if the homework turned out to be not enough, the teacher (Lev Sivashov led our course) will give additional very non-trivial tasks. Moreover, the tasks are really very interesting to solve. I really liked the fact that almost at any time of the day or night, the teacher was on call, very quickly checked the homework and gave detailed feedback, forcing me to brainstorm on my own if something was unclear. Thanks in large part to the courses, I received a favorable offer for the position of Automation QA Engineer. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to start programming, as well as to those who have experience.

Yevgeny Krotanko

I took two courses at SkillsUp: - Java from scratch; — Java practitioner 1; At first, I came to the course without any knowledge of programming (except that I started learning Basic as a child) and before that I did not work in IT at all, but in ZED. However, after the first course, I already understood the basics of Java, could write console programs and simple desktop programs on JavaFX. In the second year (Java-practice 1), attention was mainly paid not so much directly to the code, but to tools and frameworks (Git, Maven, Spring, Hibernate, etc.). This confused me at first. At the end of the course, we each wrote our own web application, passed the exam and received certificates. I am satisfied with the results of the courses — I received basic knowledge and skills that can be used as a starting point and to move further in this field. I recommend it to everyone. However, I would like to note a few points that I think are important for understanding: - No one will give you a magic injection, after which you will immediately begin to understand everything. The trainer only directs in which direction to dig, explains the basics and answers the questions that arise. But you need to work a lot on your own. No way without it. - If you think you know the topic, still listen carefully - if you went to the courses, then you do not know everything, and any gap in the basics - can cost you dearly later (like a defect in the foundation when building a house). - The more you learn, the more you will understand that you know nothing. In this field, you need to learn constantly, and it is impossible to know everything. — The most important thing you will learn on the courses is to study. Such matters =).

Anton Kalmykov

Project Management Basics

I took the Diving into Project Management course — I was generally satisfied with the results. On the one hand, there was a very large group at the beginning, since we listened to the first part of the course together with business analysts, but on the other hand, it was not bad, since we practiced tasks with them in the future, dividing into pairs and simulating real situations that could arise at work. The course provided a lot of useful information, which, it seemed to me, was developed according to the standards of the best companies on the market, but here's one thing - when I got a job, I encountered the fact that in small companies everything is structured more simply, or in a different way, and the knowledge gained in the courses is quite difficult to put into practice :) As in principle and in many courses, the bet is on homework, and the fact that you will not be lazy, but will read and study something in parallel with the materials that are given on lectures In general, I really liked the course, I would recommend it to everyone who is going to work as a PM, or who is already at the beginning of their career and wants to improve their qualifications, for employment in a more profitable position, for example.

Stas Morgun

Just a few weeks ago, I finished the Diving into Java: Beginner course. I am very grateful to the SkillsUP team and our trainer in particular (Anton, hello to you!:) ). I will not say that it was easy, the volume of information was quite large, questions often arose, but our sensei was ready to answer any of them practically 24/7. Of course, homework and practice played a very important role, without them the knowledge gained in lectures and independent work would quickly evaporate. I was also pleased with the friendly, positive atmosphere during the series of lectures. Personally, I got a good base on Java Core and now I am going through Java practice 1, which promises to be no less interesting and informative :)

Denis Berezanskii

I finished the course Diving into Java: Beginner and now I am taking Java practice 1. I am very satisfied with the quality of the training, as the trainers have a perfect command of the material and are ready to answer any question. It is also worth noting the high quality of educational materials, which were prepared by the school's trainers based on their own many years of work experience. It is also impossible not to mention the friendly administrators who are always ready to help and advise. I am grateful to the SkillsUp team, thanks to whom I have gained a lot of knowledge in the field of Java development.

Ivan Syniukov

I took a Java course with Oleksiy Pedorenko, here's what I can say: 1. Semester zero was wonderful, everything was clear and transparent... 2. The second was scary, HOWEVER, it was my childish imagination then, now (after a year of work) I understood the whole meaning of that semester! The main thing is to tell what technologies there are, to give direction... and to teach students to figure things out themselves... Otherwise, you will not survive in this field :-) Now this skill helps a lot to move on...

Ivan Bolshak

I passed the Diving into Java: Practice 1 course. After the first Java course, it was really difficult, but if you try, you can do everything. Trainers do their best to help this. I was very pleased that the course covers not only programming, but also opens up for you the basics of a full cycle of product development; tells how everything works in real companies. Of course, we don't forget to prepare for the interviews that excite us all :) In general, students are prepared in every possible way for "adult" life, and this, in my opinion, is great.

Oleg Kolomoiets

I have been familiar with SkillsUp since 2014. I took the Diving into Software Testing and Test Automation courses at SkillsUp, I was satisfied with the knowledge I received, which I still use today. Trainers are always open and ready to help. Can I recommend these courses — I have already recommended them)) moreover, I am also taking my next course here)

Dasha Osipova

I enjoyed the course SkillsUp — Diving into Java: Beginner (Java from scratch). Densely (although, looking at the amount of material under the hood, I realize that I don't know that much) I got acquainted with the new for me Java language. The coach came across as very qualified and knowledgeable, explaining a lot. Therefore, learning was pleasant, interesting and useful. The acquired knowledge is enough to ask the right questions and understand the received answers. I believe that this course is very suitable for a beginner in programming, which I am. I recommend! And Artyom Guzychenko should be given a prize for a quality approach to teaching his students :)

Vitalij Horbatenko

I finished the course Diving into Java: Beginner (Java from scratch) at SkillsUp, the feeling after completing the course is very positive. At first, when I was looking at training centers where you can learn the basics of the Java language, I had to study the reviews of former students about the most diverse organizations in which they studied, the most interesting thing is that I did not find negative content about SkillsUp, and here at the most crucial moment, when the time came to decide, I heard a tip from a friend, a former student of the SkillsUp: Diving into Java: Practice 1 and android development courses, now it works in a large java developer. And I decided, and I never once regretted it, coach Artem Guzychenko taught me, I am very grateful to him for the answers I received, for the well-systematized presentation of the material, and for comprehensive support throughout the course. I am already a student of the course Diving into Java: Practice 1, even before the start of this course I already managed to apply the knowledge gained in practice at my work, and earn from it. It is very inspiring and empowering to deepen one's knowledge. All I can advise you to study the course as effectively as possible, do not wait for manna from heaven, knock and it will be opened to you, in this case the SkillsUp trainers, they always come to meet you, do not hesitate to ask questions if you do not understand something, look stupid because of your lack of understanding of the material in front of your fellow students, the main thing is to go forward and not stop, spend time studying at home, no one will put knowledge in your head without your diligence. Work and your efforts will be justified.

Maksim Lukin

I came to SkillsUp on the recommendation of friends and did not regret the choice I made. I recently finished the Diving into Java: Beginner course and am currently taking Java Practice 1. The trainers know their business, the material is presented in an accessible manner and is explained clearly, another matter is that not everyone can absorb all the material presented at once. The course program is quite dense and each lesson is saturated with a lot of new information, therefore, my advice to you is to avoid brain explosion during the lesson — try to familiarize yourself with the material of the upcoming lecture in advance, since there are enough resources for this (Google and YouTube will help you). In general, impressions from the courses are positive. Thanks to the coaches for the interesting training and the organizers for the buns and coffee in each class! There will be more

Software testing and quality assurance

Took the course "Immersion in software testing and quality assurance" in 2017. I was very satisfied. Trainers Oleksandr and Yulia are at their best. Information was provided easily and very clearly. After completing the courses, I was able to apply the acquired knowledge at work and improved the quality of the testing process. I highly recommend SkillsUp. At the moment, I am studying the course "Immersion in Java" with Artem Guzychenko. The material is provided just as easily and clearly. Thanks to the SkillsUp team!)

Artem Maximov

SQL Fundamentals

I study at SkillsUp regularly. My first course was "SQL Fundamentals" - learned some new knowledge, despite the fact that I had a base. I also tried the "Automation of software testing" courses, unfortunately, I was unable to successfully complete them due to weak technical training. Teachers try to understand the material and work with each student. SkillsUp has democratic prices, a flexible system of discounts and an individual approach to each client. SkillsUp is located in a convenient location, on the territory of the "Kyiv National University of Culture and Arts" - it is easy to get to. Among the shortcomings, only the temperature problems of the university itself can be noted - it is cool in winter (the university does not heat in winter, and stationary heaters sometimes do not cope with the volume of the room), and in summer it is hot until 19:00, despite the windows and doors being open.

Edgar Hajtuk

At SkillsUp, he completed the course Diving into Java: Beginner (Java from scratch). Before that, he had some idea of the Java language, but his knowledge was not systematized and had many gaps. After the course, everything fell into place in my head. Naturally, the main work in education falls on the person who studies and sometimes it is difficult, but the coaches help a lot with this, thanks to Artem Guzichenko (very active and positive, shows everything with examples, which is a huge plus for me). Now I started taking the course Diving into Java: practice 1, coach Oleksiy Pedorenko (extends the material very coolly). Several of my friends and acquaintances have already completed the Diving into Java courses and are already working, which can be a good indicator of the effectiveness of the courses.

Roman Litvinenko

SQL Fundamentals

I finished SQL and Project Management courses at SkillsUp. Excellent courses for everyone who wants to master these directions in the IT field. Classes at SkillsUp are rich, informative and interesting. Teachers inspire during the learning process, the material is presented in an accessible way and with examples. Lots of homework and practice — all this helped me systematize my knowledge and gain new ones. She has never once regretted connecting her life with SkillsUp. I recommend these courses to those who care about their professional future.

Anastasiia Bochelenkova

Project Management Basics

I recently finished the "diving into project management" course. I really liked the teacher. Explains clearly and consistently. Gives examples from real projects. It will always help to figure things out if you are stuck on a question. And they also help with employment :)

Danny Kaibulaiev

Java 0 courses are good for a start. Recently graduated. It should not be forgotten that Beginner (Java from scratch) is a work not only in the classroom. Without fixing the material during homework, the acquired knowledge quickly evaporates. I liked that the study was on the computer, and not according to the synopsis :-)

Oleksandr Tsyb

I passed Java 0 and Java 1. In general, the impression from the company and teachers is very good. Mykhailo, the head of the company, is a very open and sensitive person who always "comes to meet" and is ready to help. If there are organizational issues or difficulties, you can safely go to him and a solution will be found, or maybe several, to choose from)) I would like to personally thank Oleksiy Pedorenko, he taught the Java 1 course. He is a professional and an excellent teacher. The whole course is very rich in information - just have time to digest and practice. Of course, the understanding of everything does not come immediately, but if you do not understand, Oleksiy will explain and clarify the nuances. An open person and a professional in his field. You want to learn from such a person and it is probably very pleasant to work with him. I could write a lot about him for a long time, but I will limit myself to a BIG THANK YOU and hope to work under his leadership in the future. Thanks SkillsUp. If I look for IT courses in the future, I will go here first. And I recommend it to everyone!

Ihor Shulha

Recently, I took part in the online training format "Agile Certified Professional". My goal was: to structure knowledge, to find additional approaches and methods of effective team work, to get tips on how to develop our team. And I got what I wanted. To be honest, I didn't expect much from the online format, but it turned out that it wasn't a problem for coach Denys Ryzykh and he was ready. The presentation of the material was structured and seasoned with examples from one's own practice. It is clear that a person has cooked in this kitchen. In addition to the approaches and practices known to me, alternative, quite interesting and effective ones were worked out. As a result, the next stage of process transformation in our team began. As always, colleagues are extremely happy about it ;) So, my feedback is positive. I took away useful information and practices from this training. Formed a vision of changes in the team. Of what could be better... I didn't have enough time. Two days were busy and flew by quickly. Due to the fact that the topic is extremely broad, it is impossible to process everything in the allotted time. I would like to. Especially since the coach was ready to answer. Denis would have enough material for at least as much time. Obtaining an international name certificate was a bonus. +1 in the piggy bank. Thanks to Denys Ryzykh, SkillsUp and Maryna Melnyk for the opportunity to participate in this course. It was useful and interesting.

Fundamentals of Business Analysis in organizations

Hello everyone. I came to SkillsUp on the recommendation of friends. I had nothing to do with IT, but in just a few classes of the Diving into Business Analysis course, I completely immersed myself in this world. I want to say thank you to our trainer Maryna Melnyk for the in-depth presentation of information in an understandable language!

Valentin Zaitsev

Project Management Basics

In 2020, she took the Diving into Project Management course at SkillsUp with Maryna Melnyk (online format). In the online format, she worked exclusively by appointment due to the peculiarities of her personal temporary schedule. Yes, indeed, the material itself is complex. Homework after each lecture is also very difficult. There were 28 classes, a rather strict time schedule. But it is valuable that the cases, a set of material, topics and tasks are taken from real practice. SkillsUp's loyalty is valuable both in terms of the training regime, and in terms of payment terms, and in terms of the terms of preparation of tasks. Of course, having coped with these tasks and understanding their practical application, you feel much more confident. Special thanks to manager Svetlana for quick response to any question/request. Special thanks to the lecturer Maryna Melnyk for effective communication: during the entire course, with any unclear question (I repeat, I listened to the lectures and then did the homework exclusively on the records) I contacted and they explained to me in detail and helped me cope with all the difficulties and they supported me in any way and were ready to help.

Human resource management (HR management)

Recently completed the HR and talent management course. I immediately felt a huge difference compared to another speaker. Marina explained everything in a very approachable and easy way, and most importantly gave practice, a lot of practice. I received invaluable experience and knowledge that I use in my work. Thank you very much for your professionalism. I recommend the courses to everyone I know, and I will be glad to take them again and improve my skills.

Fundamentals of Business Analysis in organizations

Just completed the "Diving into Business Analysis" course at SkillsUp. Without exaggeration, I will say that I am very glad that I found and chose this particular school to study. The course is very high-quality, meaningful, rich, but at the same time very interesting and clearly presented. Many thanks to the trainer and founder of SkillsUp Marina Melnyk for this. She really motivates and fascinates with the wealth of her knowledge. I would like to single out the actions of SkillsUp during the war - they opened access to the most popular courses completely free of charge, and training with a certificate was provided to everyone who wanted it at a huge discount. It means a lot to me! Therefore, if you choose a school in which you will really get high-quality and comprehensive knowledge, go to SkillsUp without hesitation. Here, you will definitely be in the safe hands of experienced trainers and you will complete the courses with a full package of knowledge for further career development. And I want to wish SkillsUp prosperity, growth and confident movement to the dream heights. Thank you for your work!

Software testing and quality assurance

Thanks to the "Skillsup" company for the "Diving into software testing and quality assurance" course! It was interesting, fast and productive! All the coaches are great, but Marina Melnyk is a fantastic speaker! In an hour or a half, she told a lot of interesting information and explained the nuances using real examples. Everything is very dynamic, without water and without reading from a letter. It is very good that, in addition to the theory, there were stories about how it actually works and what are the subtleties. The teachers are well prepared, the presentations are made with high quality! Looking forward to your next course!

I completed the course “Diving into Project Approach in Life and Business,” taught by Marina Melnyk. Thank you for the incredibly valuable information, which was presented in a structured and easy-to-understand way. The homework assignments were well-designed, helping me immediately reinforce what I’d learned and giving me the opportunity to make progress on my project. Thank you, Marina, for your fantastic lectures. It was quite easy to stay engaged and interested despite the large volume of material. Your energy, professionalism, and ability to hold our attention made this learning experience both interesting and useful. Thank you so much for your work!

Data Analyst

I took the “Data Analyst” course from SkillsUp, taught by Maxim Fedorov, and was very satisfied! The course gave me a clear understanding of the role of a data analyst and how data work is organized within a company. I had previously been introduced to various analytics tools, but didn’t know how to apply them correctly to solve real-world business problems. The course curriculum was very well-structured: we covered analytics systems, product analytics, metrics, cohort and RFM analysis, A/B testing, data handling, and learned how to use Tableau. The combination of theory and hands-on exercises was particularly valuable—it helped me understand how to use data for product development. After the course, I felt more confident working with data and understood how to take a systematic approach to analytics in real-world projects. I recommend this course to anyone who wants to become a true data analyst!
