“I gained confidence in my skills and a deeper understanding of testing processes”
The Software Functional Testing course provides all the necessary theoretical foundations along with practical assignments to start a career as a QA Engineer. The material is delivered in a clear and, most importantly, structured way, making the learning process accessible even for those with little or no prior experience in the IT field. One of the most valuable parts of the course was the final project, where we formed a team and worked on a real-life project, which we later presented to experts for evaluation. After each session, we were required to present our homework to a mentor, which helped us better understand the material and receive personalized feedback. Thanks to this course, I gained confidence in my skills and a deeper understanding of testing processes.

“The course was an excellent starting point for me in the world of software testing”
The Tech Orda program course was an excellent starting point for me in the world of software testing. The program lasted 9 months and included theoretical modules, practical assignments, and a final Capstone project. Each stage was thoughtfully structured, which helped me gradually dive into the profession. The mentors shared real industry experience and were always ready to help. What I especially appreciated was that homework was reviewed by practicing QA engineers from EPAM, who also shared their insights. After completing the course, I felt confident in my knowledge and realized that I want to grow in this field.

“The prime benefit of the course is interaction with mentors”
A key advantage of the Node.js Development course is its suitability even for beginners. Thanks to clear self-study materials, you can slowly comprehend each topic, starting from simple ones and ending with real production cases. But the prime benefit is interaction with mentors. If you ever have a question, you'll promptly receive a response from real experts in the field. If you encounter difficulties, they're there for you. This is often missing when self-studying outside of a course.

“The Capstone Project was particularly valuable: we used new skills to develop our own solution”
The EPAM Business Analysis course blends theory and practice. I studied software development, delivery methods, and BA tools via materials and lectures. Experts provided examples, answered our questions, and advised on the best practices. Weekly homework mirrored real BA tasks, and we received feedback from mentors.
The Capstone Project was particularly valuable. We used new skills to develop our own solution, from market research to prototype and its presentation to mentors and peers.

“Mentors who are genuinely invested in our growth”
I learned about the EPAM course under the TechOrda program from friends — they had completed it, and thanks to their feedback, I decided to give it a try too. Before that, I had already done a bit of mobile development and even had an internship, but I felt I lacked sufficient knowledge. The course provided me with a strong foundation, lots of hands-on practice, and confidence in my skills. I especially appreciated the mentors — they were genuinely invested in our growth and always ready to explain anything unclear. I got more out of the course than I expected, and after passing the interview, I’m happy to now be working as a Junior Software Engineer at EPAM.

“The most valuable aspects of the course for me was its academic approach and the logical”
I have been studying in the Java Web Development program from November 2023 to June 2024. This course became a solid foundation and a well-structured plan for my academic journey into Java development. It covers almost all the fundamental topics and areas and has been my first step toward becoming a Java backend developer. To gain a deeper and more comprehensive understanding, I complemented the course with self-study, thoroughly reviewing all the topics and materials included in the program. One of the most valuable aspects of the course for me was its academic approach and the logical, consistent way the material was presented. It gave me a clear learning path — something I had struggled to achieve through self-learning alone. Another important advantage was the support and interaction with experienced mentors throughout the course. It was a great opportunity to ask questions, discuss interesting topics and learn directly from professional developers working on international project.

“The biggest advantages of the program were the large number of interesting and challenging tasks”
The Java Web Development course was very intensive and rich in content. There was a lot of theoretical material, along with live sessions where instructors answered questions in real time. However, I consider the biggest strengths of the program to be the variety of engaging and complex tasks, as well as the support from mentors who helped us until the very end. We also had the opportunity to create and present our own capstone project, which can now be added to our portfolio. I'm very grateful to the Tech Orda program for providing such an amazing opportunity.

“The practical assignments ranged from algorithmic tasks to full app development”
The Frontend Development course from TechOrda helped me move from theory to practice — I learned to use React and TypeScript, and explored the broader ecosystem, including Redux. The material was delivered in a very convenient format: instructional videos and additional self-study resources. I especially enjoyed the live expert sessions where we could ask questions and see how to apply the tools in real work scenarios. The practical assignments were diverse — from algorithmic challenges to assembling applications. Mentors regularly reviewed our homework, and extra meetings helped clarify complex topics. Despite the intense workload and deadlines, the course gave me a strong foundation.
