Meet some of our previous graduates

  • “Computer languages were completely alien to me, however, the lessons I had with CTA provided me with many skills in a short amount of time, like understanding basic programming and test automation. The trainers were incredible and helped solve many problems I had.”

    Gunes

  • “I learnt a lot of useful and interesting information. I feel that my English has improved and I know a lot of previously difficult terms. Creating my website was a very interesting task and I remembered Agile and Scrum methods well.”

    Svitlana

  • “The training is very intense but rewarding. Even if we learn only the core information of some themes, I'm feeling encouraged to find additional information and learn something by myself.”

    Dariia

  • “I've found the training very interesting, challenging and fulfilling. Knowledge is presented in a consistent and structured manner. Working in groups additionally helps and supports. The highlight for me were the practical tasks. During the study of SQL, I really enjoyed creating a database and writing SQL queries.”
