Courses
Every course states how long it runs, how many hours a week it takes, who it suits — and who it does not.
Design
Interfaces and brand identity. We work in Figma, hand in a layout every week, and by the end you have a portfolio you are willing to show.
Answered by: Design curators
Interfaces from Scratch
Level: from scratch16 weeks8 h/weekMost enrolled84,000 RUBInstalments: 14,000 RUB a month, 6 months
How a digital product is put together, and how to draw screens people can actually use. From grids and type to a clickable prototype and a handoff a developer can build without asking questions.
Who it suits
For anyone who has never opened Figma and wants to change careers steadily rather than in a month.
Who it is not for
Not for you if what you want is feedback on layouts you already have — this is a long programme that starts at the beginning.
What you need beforehand
Nothing beyond a laptop: Figma runs in the browser, there is nothing to install.
How a week works
Every week: two recorded lectures, an exercise and a live review on Tuesday evening. Homework is due by Sunday, and a curator from the direction responds during the following week.
What you take away
- Five pieces in your portfolio: a landing page, a mobile app, a dashboard and two redesigns of existing services.
- A clickable prototype you can walk an interviewer through screen by screen.
- A portfolio review with a curator in the final week: what to lead with, and what to drop.

Identity and Brand Systems
Level: intermediate10 weeks6 h/week60,000 RUBInstalments: 10,000 RUB a month, 6 months
A mark, a palette, a type pairing and the rules around them. How to build a system someone who has never met you can still use correctly, with nobody left to ask.
Who it suits
For designers who can already produce work but start every new project from a blank page, from scratch.
Who it is not for
Not for beginners: we do not explain what guides are or how the Figma interface works.
What you need beforehand
Confident Figma: you can build a layout from a reference unaided and you know what a component is.
How a week works
One lecture and one assignment a week, live review on Thursdays. The final project is a fifteen to twenty page brand guide, defended in front of a curator and the group.
What you take away
- A finished brand guide for one identity, from the mark to the rules for social media and signage.
- Three concepts, each defended out loud: you practise explaining a decision instead of saying you like it more.
- A client presentation template the next project drops into in an evening.
Next cohort
7 December 2026, enrolment until 4 December 2026
Engineering
Front-end and Python. You write code from week one, and reviews go past whether it runs to why this particular approach will hurt in six months.
Answered by: Engineering curators
Front-End Development
Level: from scratch24 weeks12 h/week132,000 RUBInstalments: 11,000 RUB a month, 12 months
HTML, CSS, JavaScript and React, taken to the point where you build an application yourself and understand what the console is telling you.
Who it suits
For anyone who has tried free courses and stalled in week three: here there are deadlines, and a person who reads what you actually wrote.
Who it is not for
Not for you if weekends are the only time you have: the load is spread across weekdays, and catching up in batches does not work here.
What you need beforehand
A confident computer user. English only at the level of reading documentation with a dictionary; you will not have to speak it.
How a week works
Three modules back to back: markup, JavaScript, React. Each week brings recorded theory, a coding task and a live review on Wednesday evening. A curator reads your code line by line without writing it for you.
What you take away
- Three projects on your own GitHub: a shop, a dashboard, and an idea of your own for the final review.
- Code that has been read: every review is line-level comments, not a pass mark.
- A development setup you assembled yourself and can repair, rather than one you downloaded ready-made.
Next cohort
18 January 2027, enrolment until 15 January 2027
Python for Everyday Automation
Level: intermediate12 weeks8 h/weekNew course78,000 RUBInstalments: 13,000 RUB a month, 6 months
Scripts that take over what you redo by hand every week: assembling spreadsheets, pulling data off websites, producing the same report again.
Who it suits
For analysts, managers and anyone with a spreadsheet they rebuild by hand every Monday.
Who it is not for
Not for you if the goal is a developer job: there are no frameworks and no architecture here — this is a course about your own tasks, not about a profession.
What you need beforehand
You need some contact with code already: macros, spreadsheet formulas, or an introductory Python course behind you. We do not run a Python-from-zero course.
How a week works
A task from real work every week: an export, a parse, a report. Live review on Mondays, homework accepted until Friday.
What you take away
- Five finished scripts that stay yours and keep running after the course ends.
- A project of your own: we take a routine from your job and automate it in the review, not on invented data.
- The ability to read a script somebody else wrote and see where it will break.
Next cohort
11 January 2027, enrolment until 8 January 2027
Languages
English for work: correspondence, calls, interviews. Groups are small, up to eight people, and you speak more than you listen.
Answered by: Language curators
English for Work
Level: intermediate12 weeks4 h/week36,000 RUBInstalments: 12,000 RUB a month, 3 months
Correspondence, calls and presentations in English, without stalling mid-sentence or keeping a translator open in the next tab.
Who it suits
For people who read and understand almost everything but lose the words the moment they have to speak.
Who it is not for
Not for absolute beginners, and not for exams: we do not prepare anyone for IELTS or TOEFL.
What you need beforehand
Roughly B1: you follow written work threads and the gist of a call. Before the start there is a short conversation with a curator so that nobody ends up in the wrong group — the chat is where you arrange it.
How a week works
Two live classes a week in the evening, with a short piece of homework in between: a written message, a call, or a recording of yourself speaking.
What you take away
- Ready phrasing for the situations you actually face: a status update on a call, a refusal, an argument about deadlines, bad news.
- Two recordings of yourself, at the start and at the end. You can hear the difference, which beats taking a curator at their word.
- The habit of speaking unprepared: every class opens with five minutes of unscripted talk.
Next cohort
16 November 2026, enrolment until 13 November 2026 A morning group: classes at 08:00 Moscow time, for people who would rather study before work.
English for Interviews
Level: advanced6 weeks4 h/week24,000 RUBNo instalment plan: the price is paid in full
A short course aimed at one situation: introducing yourself, handling questions about your experience, and not freezing on "tell me about a difficult project".
Who it suits
For people whose interview is already scheduled, or will be within a couple of months.
Who it is not for
Not for you if the goal is better English in general: the course is short and drills exactly one situation.
What you need beforehand
B2: you speak freely, but your phrasing falls apart under interview pressure.
How a week works
Two classes a week: the first works through a block of questions, the second is a mock interview with a curator plus a review of the recording.
What you take away
- Recordings of every mock interview, reviewed answer by answer.
- Your own introduction at two lengths: two minutes, and thirty seconds.
- Answers to a dozen behavioural questions built out of your own words, not a template off the internet.
Next cohort
24 November 2026, enrolment until 21 November 2026
Every course carries a line about who it is not for, and none of them is boilerplate. If you recognise yourself in one, do not take that course — the chat will tell you the same thing.
Who answers what
A team answers, not someone assigned to you: whoever is free picks it up.
