About
Who We Are
We went through MFF, CTU and years of industry practice so YOU don't have to.
We are a team of developers who turned complex knowledge into courses designed for complete beginners. Our teaching is clear, practical, and step-by-step, without unnecessary academic overload.
Our courses make sense even for people who have never programmed before. We use real examples, explain everything simply, and teach only the essential foundations you truly need to start in IT.
Our instructors have experience in cybersecurity, cloud systems, backend engineering, and application development, yet we teach in a simple and approachable way. We show you the same principles we use every day, without stress and without academic pain.
Our Goal
By the end of our courses, you will program confidently and independently.
Starting is the hardest part. We'll handle the rest together.
Our Team
Lecturers
Our lecturers are experienced professionals with practical experience in IT.
