Our Programs
Learning features
Challenge Based Learning
In simple terms, each successive task is more difficult than the previous one. The further the student goes, the more difficult and fascinating the tasks become. CBL is practiced at Apple - for those who are just mastering the programming profession.
Peer-to-peer
This approach is used at Google. Don't know anything? There is always a student who knows. The constant exchange of information teaches you to remember what you've learned better and to work as a team.
100% of practice
We have discarded boring lectures with a lot of unnecessary theory. All the knowledge obtained is immediately used in practice, and tasks are based on real cases of IT companies.
"Developer" starter pack
In addition to knowledge of the code, a good specialist has the skills of self-presentation, English, understand the stages and features of creating projects - these and other skills, students can additionally develop in ucode.
How will the academy help a student find employment?
During the training, we hold workshops, lectures, and consultations with experienced specialists from the network of partners. You learn how to write a resume and behave at interviews to please even the pickiest recruiter.
After graduation, we organize interviews with partner companies: Ubisoft, Cisco, Squad, ITernal. We also add you to the chat, where we publish vacancies from the network of partners.

At the end of each stage, students defend projects and receive a certificate confirming the knowledge gained.

Testimonials about the academy

ucode is one of the best places I’ve ever been. I entered the very first intake and at the moment I am already doing an internship in one of the companies. Here, in addition to knowledge, I have met a lot of good, smart, and interesting people and made new friends. And if you are lucky you can meet business partners) It’s exactly the place where you wake up in the morning and go with pleasure. And of course, for the sake of what actually all go here – knowledge. Yes, I’m not going to lie, it all depends on you. If you want to learn – you’ll learn, there are all conditions for that. But no one will run after you and make you do the same. Total freedom, effective peer-to-peer training is about ucode. As I said at the moment I already have an internship with one of the companies, you can find my complete training history on the ucode website.

Enrolled in August 2019 in the C Track program and then in the direction of web development. Chose this place because of the unique training system. Currently working as a front-end developer. The place is very cool and comfortable)) The community is very friendly and helpful. Most of all I liked the method of training. At that time I was studying at the university and it was unusual for me, but it turned out to be very effective). I met and made friends with a lot of good people here)). The place is very inspiring.

Ucode is a fairly good program, which by its methods is close to the real conditions at work. The training is based on Challenge Based Learning. The intensity is very high, if you try hard and spend your nerves and health, you can squeeze 2-3-4 years program of regular courses or universities into one year here, but you have to work really hard 💪😌. Gives in-depth knowledge of programming from the very basics. Programs were developed by partner companies in today’s IT market. I’ve been studying the program for a year and have a very positive impression) not the least plus that ucode is also a community, here you get free gym, mafia on Thu and Fri, table tennis and volleyball tournaments, consoles, free seminars and meetings, constant entertaining events, English courses and much more) join in, it will be fun 😉

FAQ
How can I study without teachers?
One of the features of ucode is the peer-to-peer approach, which assumes that students are constantly sharing knowledge and experience. Students become teachers and students at the same time.
In addition, each program has a mentor – a developer from a partner company who helps in difficult situations and shares experiences. Tasks are checked by other students and an automatic-check system.
The Academy helps to structure the learning process: to understand the sequence of necessary knowledge, highlight the most important, and leave secondary and irrelevant information.
Is it possible to combine study with work or university?
Each student has their own work schedule, lifestyle, and effective hours. Therefore, the academy has a free schedule of visits, and the campus is open 24 hours a day. However, for the successful movement through the program, we recommend devoting at least 20 hours of training per week.
Are there any age restrictions?
The lower threshold is 16 full years. There is no upper threshold.
What level of English is required to pass the program?
Recommended level of English — Intermediate.
All materials, tasks, and interfaces of the training system are provided in English. Take the test to check your English level. If it does not meet the recommendations, contact the ucode team.
Will I receive a diploma upon completion of the program?
The certificate is issued by ucode IT academy and the partner company for each stage of training. These are such companies as Ubisoft, Cisco, Squad, ITernal – leaders of Ukraine and the world in their fields. However, our graduates claim that the knowledge gained during their studies is more valuable than any diploma.
