After successfully completing all program stages, you will gain market-oriented skills that you may further apply at EPAM or elsewhere in the IT industry.

What do we offer?
  1. Industry-focused education with EPAM, a leading software engineering company
  2. Intensive, hands-on learning through a wide range of practical assignments
  3. Free access to top-notch educational materials and resources
  4. Regular guidance from seasoned mentors throughout your advanced training
  5. Deep dive into your specialization and emerging technologies such as GenAI and Cloud
  6. Opportunity to join the EPAM team upon successful completion of all stages
Training process

The program is divided into two progressive stages, allowing you to gradually advance to more profound topics:

  1. Stage 1: Fundamentals (~3 months, ~10-12 hrs/week)

You will explore self-study materials at your convenience and complete assigned tasks with immediate automated feedback. To move forward, you will need to demonstrate good results and successfully pass four parts of the final test and technical interview. We will assess your knowledge of Git, Python, DevOps, CI/CD, DB, SQL, DWH, and ETL.

  1. Stage 2: Specialization (~3 months, ~20 hrs/week)

We will offer you a mentoring program with one-on-one meetings with production experts. Your learning will become more intensive and practice-driven, with a focus on advanced concepts and tools.

Upon successful completion of both stages, we will consider you for open positions based on your demonstrated skills and available opportunities at EPAM.
