In general, if everything is from scratch, then the training is good, good curators, webinars tell you in detail about the material, you can ask a question. I'm surprised that it's not really a bot that checks homework, but a real person and individual comments (I thought they had some scripts and template answers there, but no) I am pleasantly surprised. The group that is created in the messenger, where all the students are, also helps well when there are some training plugs (either the curator connects, or someone from the students who has figured it out better) in general, this is such a good community. Plus, if for some reason I didn't get to the webinar, then I wrote it down in my personal account, missed it a couple of times - I thought I would have to catch up like at school myself, but no - I looked at night and OK, I didn't miss anything) Of the cons, it is probably that sometimes training is postponed (once a month), but personally it is not critical for me, although some of the group were outraged. Another of the disadvantages, I would like to study a little later, now it starts at 19.00, but again, who knows, I work on average until 18.30, I started studying a couple of times in transport) It would also be nice if you could study on weekends (well, in the sense of webinars), but this is as soon as possible. But in general, I can note that the quality is at least good (there is something to compare it with, I studied at the it academy before, I had to return the money, as there were doubts about the teachers), there is no such thing here, at least for now (I have been studying for 6 months, 3 left) Therefore, those who really want to learn something, it is possible here, the teachers of the norms, check the homework with all the comments, etc., but the completion of the course strongly depends on your motivation (summer, the sun does not add to this)))

I took the Graphic Designer course at GeekBrains and was very pleased with the result! Thanks to the clear structure of the program and experienced teachers, I learned how to create really attractive layouts, ranging from business cards to full-fledged brand books. Practical tasks were of particular value, which helped me consolidate my knowledge. One of the most pleasant bonuses was that I was able to start taking freelance orders already during my studies. The knowledge gained during the course allowed me to feel confident in the market and quickly find customers)

I want to express my gratitude to the Geekbrains team! He started his studies as a student, not wanting to work in his specialty. I chose the Geekbrains programming course because of the convenient online format. The program turned out to be accessible even for a beginner. Thanks to Geekbrains, I not only got a new profession, but also found a job in IT. They helped me compile my resume, portfolio, LinkedIn profile, and conducted a rehearsal interview. I recommend Geekbrains to anyone who wants to change their field of activity and start a career in IT!

As a novice programmer, it was important for me to find a course that would be both understandable and informative at the same time. I have looked at more than one course on the market. I also considered offline training. And that's what I want to say… The course from Geek exceeded my expectations. And I just expected to get some basics in programming. Absolutely all tasks, tests and development projects were aimed at the real application of knowledge and skills from the lessons. During the training process, we not only learned the basics of Java, but also created real applications. Communicating with other students through the forum and chats has always helped to solve problems and keep up with the course. There are special chats with students. After completing the course, I feel much more confident. While I am working at the same place and have not asked for help with employment, but at least one other student whom I met explained that this service includes consultation, resume, cover letter, portfolio, rehearsals, access to a closed channel with vacancies. Maybe it will be useful for someone. I want to mention the work of the curator. Sometimes I got the impression that I was at school because he was like a homeroom teacher. I also want to note that during the training, representatives of Gikbrains wrote to me asking me to share my opinion about the training and the platform in general. It's nice that they get an opinion and then try to improve.

Having no experience in the field, I was very worried about starting my training as a business analyst at GeekBrains. Thanks to the structured program, as a beginner, I easily learned complex topics: analysis methods, data collection, case solving. The teachers explained it in an accessible way, but sometimes I wanted to study the material more deeply. In case of questions, I reviewed the webinars or wrote to the curator. Working on real cases has given me invaluable experience: I saw what problems business analysts work with and how to solve them. The final project became part of a portfolio created with specialists. They also helped with the resume and the rehearsal of the interview, which led to the internship. Thanks to the GeekBrains team!

Hi. I recently completed a course on editing directing from Geekbrains, and I want to share my impressions. Previously, I was engaged in amateur photography, but decided to delve into the profession. The course program was well structured and covered all the key aspects of installation. I especially liked the practical classes where we worked with real materials. This allowed me to put theory into practice and see how editing affects the perception of a story. I learned how to use various mounting techniques, such as parallel mounting, contrast mounting and others, which greatly expanded my toolkit. Now I am ready for new projects in the field of cinema and video. I definitely recommend the course.

Python Software Engineer - how I was employed /employed / helped to write a resume and pass interviews I would like to thank Gikbrains for their training and help with employment. Everything is fine, I continue to work. I took a big course "Python Software Engineer". In general, there are no complaints about the course program. I liked the way the learning process is organized. In the lessons, everything is explained in simple language, there are many practical tasks that really help to consolidate the material. But the most important thing for me was getting a job after the course. Gickbranes promised help. Immediately after completing the course, they helped me to write a resume, prepare a portfolio and a LinkedIn profile. Thanks to this, I had a clear idea of what and how to show a future employer. They gave career advice, taught me how to present myself. They gave access to a closed channel with vacancies, there are only graduates and current students of gikbrains. There I saw an internship for myself, and then a full-time job at one of the partner companies of gikbrains. There was a vacancy and gikbranes offered it to me. I agreed because I really wanted to go into development. I can recommend the course. Thanks!

I also want to thank gikbrains for studying at the course "Manager of work with marketplaces". The most important thing I got from the course was a complete understanding of how to work on any marketplace. The training program was so extensive and clear that now I feel ready for anything, probably. We have learned everything from the basics to advanced sales strategies and product line management. This is knowledge that I am sure will help me in real work. But one of the most pleasant discoveries was related to the Gikbrains referral program. After learning about it, I immediately decided to try it and shared a special link with a friend who is also interested in marketplaces, but usually she just buys there. She bought a course not on marketplaces, but on marketing, and I received 13% of the amount of her purchase to my account. And according to my link, she also had a discount. In general, I plan to stay in the referral program, because I don't really need to do anything, and extra money is never superfluous. moreover, the amount is not small. It was a nice bonus. In general, I am very glad that I chose gikbrains. Thanks! If you do not plan to buy a course, you can still participate in the referral program. It's not just for students.

She has acquired a course in Interior and Public Space Design. The request was to learn new things, find a new hobby. Instead, the number of homework assignments is like in full-time training (although I specifically chose the online format in order to calmly do + study for fun without interfering with the main work), tasks that even teachers do not have time to check on time, lack of feedback from teachers and answers to questions, no help in installation programs (everyone searched for themselves on torrents, etc.), in addition to watching a video lesson for 2 hours, then watching another 30 minutes of video on YouTube how to do DZ, because many questions remain unanswered and you do not understand who to ask these questions to (1.5 people in the chat know the answer and cannot always answer in time to you). Then, when you want to get feedback from the platform, you have to wait 20 days for 3 seconds to get a call and you couldn't communicate. I am very disappointed with the service, I am making a refund, which is also very unpleasant and difficult to do, because they are trying to convince you otherwise. Read consumer rights and be prepared for all this if you have agreed to study.

Прохожу факультет Разработчик- Проджект менеджер. Экватор) Преподаватели шикарные, особенно Игорь Зуриев. Профессионал !!! Подача материала удобная, учится легко в удобное для себя время. Немного напугало программирование в начале курса, но всё, оказывается, возможно- даже кодить на сишарпе))) Не уверена, что пойду прям по профессии, больше для расширения навыков.

В целом все хорошо, учусь тут. информации много, плюс дают ссылки на дополнительные и полезные ресурсы. Расписание занятий подбирают относительно пожеланий учащегося. После обучения дают документ об окончании) Кураторы работают хорошо. Также есть возможность приостановить обучение, если в жизни что-то пошло не так и соответственно можно потом начать с того, на чем остановился) Можно получить полезные навыки на семинарах) Пока не жалею, что учусь тут, с преподавателями пока везёт))

I have been choosing an online school for a long time. My son interrupted his studies at the university for health reasons and I wanted to try to study online so as not to waste time. When communicating with the manager, I described our whole situation, that we might be forced to interrupt training for health reasons, and she assured me that they have everything set up with refunds, the procedure is very simple - you write an application and the money is returned, and I specified in what amount - in proportion to the unused training period. I had no doubt that such a well-known company, which is one of the leaders of online education in the Russian Federation, could turn out to be a fraudulent organization. A month after the start of training, it became clear that after all, my son could not study and I tried to contact the manager. There are zero reactions! When we were doing the registration, she kept telling me endlessly - calls, messages to the Whatsapp, the deadline is coming, the discount is ending... and so on, after the payment, there was no interest in me. I wrote to support and received a reply that I would be contacted within 20!!! working days) When I did get a call, I found out that I could get something back in the region of 20 thousand rubles, and everything else was their actual expenses incurred, I was furious! I paid 86,000 rubles. What, I wonder, are these expenses??? I understand that they have a legal service and everything is written in the contracts that you can't dig in, but purely humanly???? we are now spending a lot of money on the treatment of our son and this money would be very useful to us, but, apparently, they need it more. Be very careful, make a balanced decision to deal/not deal with this company. I am very disappointed! In our case, they re-registered the course for me (I hope that the training is sensible), I will do it myself so that the money does not disappear! I am an entrepreneur myself and adhere to other principles and values in my business, I regret that I managed to deal with a business that builds its mission on training by FORCE SO AS NOT TO LOSE MONEY. There are a lot of ads on avito - I will sell / reissue the course for half the price of the same victims as us. Only these ads are not even viewed by anyone. It seems to me that if the product is really high-quality, then there are always enough people willing to buy it, and it is fundamentally wrong to teach by force or to profit from those who decided to study, but due to circumstances cannot do it, paid 100, 200, 300 thousand rubles. But the saddest thing is probably paying a 3-year loan for training that you don't pass.... A real fraudulent scheme. So write honestly - it doesn't matter to us whether you will study or not, your results are not important to us, the main thing for us is to sell! It's kind of sad.

29.05.2023 the Developer purchased the course. I want to note right away that the only star I have set refers to the manager who led me to the sale. Since there was no such amount right away, I decided to take an installment plan to the Savings Bank, the bank refused, and after finding out this, the manager called me and told me how to make it better, what to indicate, etc. He called not even during his working hours to find out if everything worked out for me or not. This is the end of the positive!. Like many, having started training, I faced a number of questions: 1. Paid - wait and watch motivational videos, of which there are quite a lot. What are you waiting for? The set of a group that can be recruited is unclear when, 1, 2, 5 weeks .... 2. The content of the above videos, which the company positions as carrying important information that costs 19K, but to this later. In fact, all these videos are cuts from various interviews of the CEO of the company and other specialists who are struggling just to say that it's cool, it's important, everyone can do it, etc., etc. So a month passes, I have a busy schedule at work, I found out that I was going to become a father, I decided to optimize expenses, and I began to understand that it was not mine at all, and my level of knowledge was never enough even to solve basic tasks. I decide to terminate the contract and that's where it started ...... I called support, explain the situation, ask for a refund, to which I receive an answer: "We do not deal with these issues, we have registered your appeal, wait for 10 days." Surprise, there was no contact in 10 days. I managed to get in touch as early as 13.07. Everything seems to have gone more or less, they sent me a refund application form by mail, they told me by phone that they could only return 60k, since they had already spent money on me, and a full refund is only possible within 14 days. To my question: "How is it possible to understand whether a product or service is suitable for you if you try it out after more than 14 days?", I did not get a clear answer, already a pun, right? So, I think, okay, God be with him, I will return at least some of the money, filled out the application, sent a copy by e-mail, reported that they accepted, they say, wait now. SPOILER - I'm still waiting!!!! So, I started to get tired of waiting, and therefore decided to call the Rospotrebnadzor hotline for consumer protection. The nicest people, I was really shocked, explained everything and told me that you can wait like this, in principle, indefinitely. The application sent by e-mail has no legal weight, that is, they are not subject to the requirement of Article 32 of the Law on Consumer Protection to refund money within 10 days. They recommended sending the application by registered mail together with a request for a refund within the specified period. Further, from the moment of receipt of the letter, more precisely, receipt of the delivery notice (and the company may not pick up the letter, not accept, etc. in general, it doesn't matter, now it's their business), we wait 10 days and if the money is not returned, you can and should write a complaint to the RPN. I hope this review will help all those who find themselves in the same situation, I know there are many of them. P.S. It is pointless to feed in support at all, they are generally on..I'm looking at you, especially if you don't want to deposit money but want to return it. to my last letter that it had been 10 days since they received the letter with the application and that I had drawn up an appeal to the RPN, I was answered with an unsubscribe: "We are sorry that you are upset — we ourselves are interested in a quick refund. We'll try to hurry up." Good luck to everyone!

The Developer bought the course in March 2023. The course is annual! By May, I realized that it wasn't mine and I didn't like it. The company indicated that they would refund the money if the courses were not liked. I applied for a refund, I was refused. It turns out that the money is returned only during the first month of training. And although I still had 10 months of training left, they refused to return at least part of the money to me. I asked to be transferred to the SMM course. I have been writing to the post office for more than a month with a request for a transfer, they answered me every week "wait, they will contact you." Today is October, no one has contacted me. There is no training, because at the end of May there was supposed to be my distribution for specialization, and I did not pass it. There is no money either. And this is a thousand CU for a minute. Disgusting company, disgusting approach to customers. All they know is that they're wasting money. I highly do not recommend contacting them.

I will also add my review about this office. In general, the scheme is designed only to siphon money and systematize and automate your expenses as much as possible. I faced exactly the same thing as the previous students, when studying on the course I realized that I was not pulling at all and no one was going to help and solve this issue, I wanted to terminate the contract and return part of the paid funds, it turned out that no one was going to return anything and I did not understand how to do it yet.

My story began in 2021. I paid for the developer course, and a month later I realized that it wasn't mine at all. Then I transferred to business analytics and made a mistake again. They offered to freeze the money, otherwise they will burn!!!!!!! (well, you know) The support service communicates only after threats and scandal. As a result, I decided to return my blood money. I wrote - they are silent. I wrote again, then again and again. They are silent. Dear management, how can I get my money back, can you tell me?

Взял обучение на три года, обучение мне не понравилось, если первый год еще хоть какая-то программа была, второй год и третий год программы не было от слова совсем, ничего толкового предоставить не могли. Решил отказаться от обучения, я за обучение оплатил 200 тыс. они готовы вернуть только 39 тыс. Объясняя, что они понесли затраты на сайт, личный кабинет и т.д. Я обучился всего 9 месяцев из 36. Никому не советую, просто в пустую потратите деньги.
