We know everyone can become a programmer! And we have the track record to prove it. But we do have requirements to achieve the goal: desire, diligence and discipline. Bring those and we take care of the rest
We have developed a comprehensive training program that equips you with professional IT skills through real practice.
IT STEP Academy has been working in the field of IT education since 1999. Working closely with the leading software companies allows us to develop the necessary training for a professional start in IT. Our authored techniques and project-oriented approach teach you how to solve the real problems your company or clients are facing.
The effectiveness of our “Software Development” course is confirmed by thousands of STEP graduates who have went on to become successful developers, in some of the world’s largest companies in 36 countries.
Relevance, Professionalism, Excellence
Education at IT STEP Academy is based on three essential components of active learning.
Up-to-dated Curricula

Education at STEP is organized so students can immerse themselves in their specialty as much as possible without being distracted by unnecessary materials. We do not have written exams, and tests for learning — only standard tests for self-mastering the subject. Representatives of IT companies are present at the defense of graduation projects, and a diligent student can immediately find a good job.
