Trustworthy service, free intro classes
It’s an amazing platform if you want to get practical knowledge. Practicum by Yandex is a trustworthy service that helped me gain skills that I believe will be useful for my future career. Every course contains free intro classes as well as a full paid option. A trial run is a good way to find out if this course is right for you.

thanks to Practicum for showing me that coding is such a creative thing
My name is Jordan, and I am a writer. Or a travel blogger. You name it :) I mostly post on Instagram and Facebook. And even though I've been thinking about a personal website for a while, the idea of building it myself has never even crossed my mind. That's a lie. I tried wix one time but gave up pretty fast. I've always been a humanities kind of kid, so everything that had to do with IT seemed unspeakably boring to me.
When my roommate started taking a course on Practicum, I began to be curious. Naturally, I thought I'd only take a peek at the free part of the course. But the method of practice-driven learning that comes along with the entire program made me enroll full-time. Plus, I was taken aback by how similar can coding be with creative writing! FYI, in my case, full-time meant studying for somewhat 12 hours per week for six months. The emphasis on hands-on experience is how I prefer to learn. And it's still hard to believe, but during the course, I actually built a site, a landing page, and an app! What started as an attempt to scratch an itch of my permanent curiosity (he-he), turned out to be a whole new path to pursue.
Huge thanks to all instructors for your continuous encouragement throughout the course. Thanks for being so gentle when delivering feedback. And lastly, thanks to Practicum for showing me that coding is such a creative thing.Overall4.0Curriculum3.0Job support4.0Instructors5.0 -

Excellent professional development option. If you are in search of one, look no further.
As part of the professional development program, my company encouraged everyone on our team to choose and complete any certified IT course. They offered $1000 to cover the costs and a shorter workday for the time of a program. I'm a software tester. But my hobby is designing plots and worlds for board games. I've been meaning to learn web development for a while now because I've always wanted to create websites for the board games I design. So it was perfect timing.
When I came across Practicum by Yandex, it seemed very appealing and affordable. And now, after completion of the course, I'm confident to say my expectations were fully met. I was devoting around 10 hours per week to studying. This included practical part — we've all completed 3 hands-on projects during the training. The things I loved the most about the course were the structure of the feedback and the quality of interaction with my mentors. And I definitely enjoyed the fact that it wasn't too pricey, so the company I work for could cover a hundred percent of the expenses.

the course structure and material gets the job done really well
I was on the hunt for some web development online courses when I stumbled upon Practicum by Yandex. I wasn't sure I would be able to complete it at first, but in the process of learning, I gained the self-confidence I needed! In my opinion, the course structure and material gets the job done really well.

Feels like I'm going to love it
It feels so amazing to see the immediate result of your work and so satisfying to create the entire code by yourself! Even though I don't know everything yet, the logic of the code is very clear to me now. The fact that I've studied HTML in college definitely made the experience even more engaging.

thanks for the course, guys
Some tasks were unclear; however, the hints were a great help along the way. I’d probably prefer to have more tasks where I could write the code from scratch. It would help students enhance their skills even faster! Thank you for the course! Great job!

It's a very well designed course.
It's a very well designed course. It may feel like a lot to handle to begin with, but you get the hang of it soon enough!. Learning is best done with practice! Also, remember that it takes time to digest new information, so don’t worry if you don’t get something straight away. You’ll get there in the end!

The course is very well organized! It's definitely a 10 out of 10! I'm hoping that the free part won’t end soon because, unfortunately, I am unable to afford the full version for now! Anyway, finishing up the comment and continuing my learning journey!

exceeded my expectations
It all started with my dorm friend getting an internship with the Yandex office in Boston. By the time he recommended Practicum to me, I already had my Data Science AAS from Austin Community College and honestly didn't care about the theory at all. I also started working for one of the smaller supermarket chains here in Texas. So the main appeal of the training were hands-on projects of the course. I hoped they would enhance my portfolio. The fact that all the practical assignments were based on the real stats of "Russian Google" and its most significant projects' seemed really attractive. I wasn't mistaken. I spent eight hundred dollars total for the course. And as an outcome, I now have 15 new projects in my portfolio.
Obviously, the theory was a bit basic in my particular case, which also saved me a lot of time. But I reckon it is a great start for beginners. The course shows off an impressive array of widgets and gadgets and gives much practice with tools that are very useful in the day by day of a data scientist.
I had a great experience, and the outcome far exceeded my expectations.Overall5.0Curriculum3.0Job support3.0Instructors4.0 -

Thanks to Yandex Practicum
Hello, and thanks to Yandex Practicum for showing me the world of limitless possibilities. I never was a computer geek, so limiting my experience to just playing video games was kind of a natural thing to do until I took my shot and signed up for your Web Development courses. First week was tough, but as I got a general understanding of HTML, started putting efforts into homework, tests and new projects - I got captivated. Practicum is a very user-friendly project, both in its interface and approach to teaching. I’m loving the team here, and hoping to stick by your side throughout my journey as a newly made web developer.

Very good so far
Yandex Practicum has literally been a life-saver for me! I was scrambling, looking for solutions - my job interview was coming up in two months, and I was walking through the wilderness, just getting started with Data Analysis. Since then I have passed the introductory course and scored 89/100 on my job interview test, all kudos to Practicum for a very well organized course. I knew I could count on it to at least help me get a perspective on this subject pretty fast.

definitely recommend
I think this is the best source for Data/Business Analysts who would like to learn how to use SQL for analyzing data sets. They take you step-by-step through the learning process and engage you with practical assignments to review and test your understanding of what you've learned. This course takes up a lot of time, which is great because it means you are learning a lot!
The most outstanding thing is that you can chat with mentors, and they are very supportive when commenting on your work and are accessible via the learning platform chat. You can also chat with the learners' community via Slack, which was very stress relieving for me at times.
I recommend this course, although the exercises require more time than the average online course. But if you take it seriously and complete it on your own, you'll learn a lot to apply it at work. Excellent course for big data and playing with real (anonymized) data.Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job support4.0Instructors4.0 -

shotout to Yandex !
The first time I tried web development, I took the old-school approach: a thick heavy book on HTML and CSS. I read everything thoroughly, doing every single exercise in the book, but by the time I finished it I still wasn’t capable of putting together a working website. My knowledge wasn’t practical or systematic, and Yandex Practicum gave me just that. I was skeptical at first, but I thought I’d give the online courses a try, and if I were to compare it to a book, it’s a much better approach to learning. The way your course is structured makes sure you constantly engage with your mentors and classmates who are always there to help when something doesn’t make sense, which makes the course highly interactive. HTML, CSS, and especially Java are taught in a much more exciting manner, excluding all the unnecessary theory that I thought should be left out when I was reading the book. Overall, it has helped me fill up my weak spots and really step it up, so shoutout to Yandex for making a very helpful and polished educational platform.

the best :)
I’m truly grateful that I decided to sign up for this platform, because it’s an experience like no other. I’ve tried multiple educational courses, but Yandex Practicum really brings something different to the table. Practical and systematic teaching approaches that keep you educated and entertained, with an ever-growing community of like-minded people engaging with you to further boost your learning and social skills necessary in a new working field.

I really enjoy how well written and challenging the course becomes. I have taken other courses and all of them are written to where the user doesn’t have to use their mind. Well here you have to and that makes you a better learner!!!

Best self-learning project
This is the best self-learning project I’ve ever come across. Practicum by Yandex is an opportunity for growth and learning, with practical knowledge pure and undiluted by the dry, sleep-inducing webinars you get with other platforms. It’s a mainstay for anyone beginning their journey toward work as a web developer. It can be a challenging road, one traveled with trepidation and in fear of making a false step, though now there’s the safety net that is Practicum by Yandex!

Great program, great people
One of the best things about Practicum by Yandex (an online training program where great people can pick up new skills in programming, data analysis, and other modern professions) is the live community. Why is that so important to me? 1. The feeling of not being alone. Sure, they aren’t teaching you rocket science, at least not at the very beginning, although the topics can sometimes still be pretty challenging. Realizing that you aren’t the only person dealing with them helps you keep thinking—I’m not stupid; this chapter is just a tough one. 2. Teaching each other. Sometimes you’re the one who understood a new topic, while a coursemate didn’t. Explaining the matter helps you have a better understanding so that you’re not just spewing nonsense.
