I was driven by my desire to make a career change – after years working in technical support, I decided it was time to fully dedicate myself to something I’d long been drawn to: programming.
The program helped me primarily to master front-end programming and build real applications with JavaScript, which gave me a solid technical foundation. I also met peers and worked together on projects, which taught me effective collaboration. The soft skills trainings were equally valuable – emotional intelligence, resilience, and teamwork skills that are essential in any profession.
The program significantly developed my technical thinking, and learning JavaScript gave me a deeper understanding and confidence in my work. Thanks to that, I was able to start a new position where I apply what I’ve learned daily and have much better prospects for growth compared to my previous role.
Don’t be afraid to make this change – the Academy will give you valuable knowledge, better professional opportunities, and real satisfaction from your work. It’s important, however, to fully dedicate yourself to the program, because it’s demanding but ultimately extremely rewarding.
