Our team includes dozens of specialists from various fields, all working together to produce quality educational content. Practicum courses incorporate professional knowledge that you won’t find in any textbook, and finally bridges the gap between short-term MOOCs and full-time bootcamps.

We offer intensive online courses in data analytics, data science and software engineering. We believe that with dedication, perseverance, and support, anyone can master the skills required to enter these fields, and we’re here to make it happen.
