Testimonials

Claudiu Dinu

The training was the cornerstone of my Java Developer career. Although the complexity of the projects increased exponentially after that, and the technologies changed according to the context, I was able to identify all the time the fundamental aspects learned during the training period. Technologies are constantly changing, but abstract concepts remain valid.
Adrian Rebega

I liked that the training was from ground zero, starting with basics and gradually going to complex things. It was way over anything I did at the University, in terms of where you start and where you end up, as well as the quality of information. This training made me decide that what I truly want, I got further with Java and I have a career in this direction.
Robert Dumitru

I enjoyed the approach very much, because we have always been motivated and helped to overcome our limits in order to gain as much experience as possible in this domain. For me it was a very useful course, because after finishing it, I was invited to an interview in Brașov and more than 80% of the questions were studied at this training. The interview was a real success.
Iulia Iscru

The training period has opened new horizons for me. Although I graduated Mathematics faculty and never thought that software development is for me, now I wonder what I would have done if I had not applied. Basically this training helped me to start building my career and made me want to write code.
Dan Rățoiu

This training helped me overcome the level of knowledge gained in the University and gave me the opportunity to work with people who made me raise my personal level of ambition and motivate me to keep up with them and get up to a training level in the IT field that allowed me to get hired and granted me a well-paid job in the shortest time.
Matei Șuică

When I applied, I already had a career based on C++ and the training made me realize that Java was better suited for the future. It was very well structured, following a Java certification preparation model. I would say that this experience was a career changing moment for me.
Dan Nemeș

The aspect that I liked the most about the training was the fact that it was mainly focused on home study and practice. The training greatly influenced my career path by proving me that what I was learning in school (or by myself at home) was just a very small part of the skills needed to succeed in this domain.
Ioan Tiba

I can simply say that this course has changed my life. Most likely, if I wouldn’t have followed it, I wouldn’t be a Software Developer now. I hope that in the future many other people will go through this training and I am sure that it will change the future of many generations.

Beyond this point, learning becomes more difficult as you get into more advanced areas of coding. If you want to reach a professional level, you need to consider attending a more advanced and intense classroom training. You will benefit of live presentations, workshops and interactive discussion with specialists in software development.
