My son attends a two-year course here. He really likes it, they explain it in an accessible way and so far everything is being discussed. If you go to find out something, then everything will work out.
The child studied for 3 out of 5 years and dropped out. Teachers give grades and reviews from a fool, even if the child did not attend classes or exams. There is no real picture. Additional material in the personal account stopped being given at all (although it was stated and it was the first year). The lessons are given so superficially and generally that in any case the child will have to study a specific direction or program on his own.
The child studied at a similar computer school - AI Light. The disciplines are similar, but the learning process is different. They left IT Lite, because they have to adapt to their learning process. One year you go on a day off, the other year you go on work days. It is difficult to control the results of studies - there are no grades or homework. The educational part does not pay attention to these shortcomings. We moved to a Step. The approach is individual. In the academic part, the girls were offered a choice of a work or weekend group. The payment was prescribed. When paying for several months, we received a discount, it turned out to be cheaper than in IT Lite. We started an electronic diary in which you can see the child's academic performance and news at the academy. There are homework assignments, according to the results of which you can see what the child has achieved. We have been studying for three months, so far we are satisfied with the result.
There are no complaints about the teachers. The only thing they keep silent about the situation of the IT market is that it will be extremely difficult to get a job or even almost impossible, because there is simply no demand. I think you can understand why they are silent about this...although they can tell ... at the end of the course ))). If there is a vacancy for an internship, then the competition is huge, it can reach up to 1000 people per place. I completed a 7-month course in Java and this program is not enough.You will still need to study a lot on your own in order to reach the market requirements. Therefore, think again, study the market, look for vacancies for beginners, see how many responses they have already received. Before signing up and giving money, really evaluate your chances, if you want to study for employment, of course, and not for tourism. Teachers will say that everything depends on you, partly it is, but only partially. You can learn everything, but without real experience, you won't be needed right now. Seven months of experience is not enough already.This is not ten years ago, when they took internships with basic knowledge. Try now even just to find an internship) and if you do, what are the requirements. Then think about whether the experience that these courses provide is enough, provided that you pull through at least these courses.
We were unlucky. They threw off the "advertising": a trial lesson. Each participant will create a game. The date was postponed, okay. But today, a group of small children, and they are just mumbling in a monotonous voice the text from the presentation about the computer device. Tired. Children are not at all interested in either the case, the hard drive, or other spare parts. And to introduce the power button is super! Children who have come to create their own game!!! At least it's a maze!
It's not over yet, and the child has already said several times: "Let's get out of here."..
The child has been attending the academy for the fourth year! He really, really likes it! We started with Child Prodigies, now in a small academy for three years of study. There is definitely a result, computer ownership, not only as a gamer, but also learning the basics of Photoshop, website development. The price-quality corresponds to the declared one.
My son is 10 years old, he is studying at the courses for the second year. Very pleasant, qualified teachers. It is almost always explained in an accessible way, judging by the fact that the child does his homework on his own. But there were tasks when I couldn't complete them, it was necessary to read a large amount of material and figure it out. I don't have time, and I couldn't explain anyway. I would like them to only consolidate the programs and topics they have mastered in the classroom at home...
Recently, the teaching staff has deteriorated very much.
The frontend development block was given completely without the experience of a teacher, as a result, the course turned out to be not very exciting, although this frontend development is the creation of websites and applications. Many began to skip classes and go on academic leave. During a week of free Internet intensive training on the Frontend, we managed to learn more information and get so much delight when we manage to create a beautiful website, we came to understand how the script works in practice and what a powerful thing frameworks are. FOR A WEEK OF FREE INTENSIVE, and the 2-month course at the academy is REALLY not that interesting AND EXPENSIVE!!! There is practically no practice, just a bare theory, which is FULL of free on the Internet. We have not made a single normal functioning website with the teacher. Although time allowed it to be done. But at least there the teacher tried, answered questions, and prepared. It was obvious that he was trying.
But when Andrey Anatolyevich Deryushev, a database teacher, came to us, the whole group drooped altogether. Well, a completely incompetent teacher. The feeling that he is not preparing for classes at all, he gives information very fluently and not professionally. Even there are no presentations, just without straining, broadcasts a tutorial in English on the projector. He knows the material poorly on our topic, as he often cannot answer the questions asked or spends hours trying to find it in the program using the poke method. It looks something like this: where is it done? Oh, it didn't work out, but it learned earlier. And let's keep looking - right in class. We spent an hour in one of the classes, and I didn't really explain anything. He just wasted our time, which we pay for. And he is regularly late for classes. No presentations, no expert analysis, no answers to questions. In parallel with his explanation of the topic, it is worth launching the Internet, Googling, and there the information will be much better presented. We pay a lot of money a month, but in fact we study, thanks to the Internet. That is, money is wasted!
Perhaps these are experienced programmers, but their teachers are not all competent, alas.
I advise everyone, if you choose this school, carefully study who exactly will teach. And don't pay for the entire course at once. If you are unlucky with the teacher, the academy does not return the money. It is better to pay monthly. It may turn out that you will be given beginners and no teaching experience at all.
In reality, the quality of teachers has deteriorated greatly in Step. Friends say the same thing from parallel streams. The pitch positions that they have a lot of practice. It is not true. Mostly theory. In other IT schools, people manage to do several projects, you won't find time for this in a step.
An excellent educational institution in the field of IT. Excellent teachers. A convenient schedule of classes that allows you to conduct training without excessive workload. Interesting educational materials.
I'm just warning the class, the computer academy, you can choose what you like before starting training robotics or programming teachers explain everything clearly and clearly is located on the 2nd floor under some kind of lounge bar
Hello, we have been studying at the Academy since October. The child likes it very much, looking forward to the next lesson. I really liked the rewards program. Super motivation for a child to go only forward! We will continue our studies, but we will look at the result in the future. I advise everyone, be sure to come and study!
I am currently studying the Internet marketing course. And I will stop this training.
I thought that online learning involves practicing with a teacher.
In fact, it turned out that the whole group of us are watching videos "that you just can't find on the Internet", we do practical tasks at home, and the analysis of these d/s takes 20-30 minutes.
The teacher says that he will give a lot (well, a lot) of literature, but in fact, when you ask the teacher for literature, he says that you are "not ready".
The "Copywriting" section did not give any knowledge at all - lost time and money.
==My opinion is that something needs to be improved ==
!!!The educational materials that the teacher speculates on are not appropriate!!!
In general, it is not a pleasant impression at all.
I would not recommend it .
We have been visiting for two months, I really like it.Looking forward to the next lesson.I really like the teacher, he explains it in an accessible way.He already understands a lot.
My son graduated from elementary school in a Step, after graduation we decided to take a 2-year course of study, because we really liked the learning system and the quality of knowledge. Excellent teaching staff, qualified specialists who find an approach to children
Even in individual courses according to an individual program, they constantly deviate from the tasks set and do not teach what was agreed upon in full and agreed upon volume
Hello everyone, I have been studying at the Step Academy for 3 years.And during these 3 years I have gained a lot of knowledge, learned how to use some programs. The equipment there is good .Thanks to the Academy Step)
It is not clear where the negative towards the Academy comes from, especially about infocyganism.
It is always possible to find information on the Internet, but, admit it, it does not provide systematic training and the opportunity to gain experience from teachers who work in IT.
I wish there was an opportunity to put 6 stars. Because they deserve it! I'm talking specifically about Gomel, I can't vouch for other cities.
Good afternoon, everyone! Don't see each other for these courses, if you want to become IT specialists, Google it. The entire course program is publicly available, all that is required of you is to look for information yourself. You have to learn for yourself, especially in the IT field, the ability to Google is a big plus. Regarding admission, there is an item on the site - work in Windows 7 OS. Windows 7 are you serious?? The year 2020 is on the street, Windows 10 is about, I haven't heard of it. Another joke, the point is the age from 15 to 55, they came up with an interesting idea, that is, an elderly person can safely pass an interview, pay off the course from his pension and become a java programmer, funny! Infocyganism.
I went there for six months and I can say with confidence that this is not what we were promised. Terrible teachers who sit on a good salary and do not teach anything. A couple of times, several students fought over the computer. The price is unjustified, I have been taught absolutely nothing in these six months. At least we were supposed to learn some language, but no, it's better not to do anything. We're just doing exactly as we're told. Only the first three months were interesting and then there was only one routine. People profit from the fact that people believe that if they give their son or daughter there, they will learn something, they give erroneous information. If you have no place to put money and a child, then I advise you to kill two birds with one stone by sending their child to this under-school. I've said it all. Make only conclusions, gentlemen.
The child really likes studying at the Academy. Favorable environment for future IT specialists, friendly staff, good location.

Here you will be taught adaptive layout. To the question in the chat - "why is the Start of classes on November 25 in the header, despite the fact that it is already March... " several managers answer at the same time, while giving different answers. There are non-working links to nowhere on the site, there is a programma-obucheniya-soft-odessa.pdf - the case when you live in Minsk. Win7 support ended on January 14th (if memory serves)... WHAT'S GOING ON HERE ANYWAY?
Computer akkademia is good . The teachers are kind and explain clearly. Computers are good and don't slow down. The staff among the students is good . If there are problems, the staff always helps.
