Step IT: About the Institute

What’s the secret of success?

We are often asked how we managed to become the leader on the markets of Brazil, Mexico, USA, Cambodia, Georgia, Romania, Bulgaria, Switzerland and Ukraine.

There is not a secret, actually. We know exactly what is on demand on the labour market. We are convinced, that quality IT education is based on 3 pillars: professional tutors, up-to-date curriculum and well-designed infrastructure.

Higher IT degree

IT STEP University Is the first licensed higher IT degree in Ukraine. Our students are taught programming, graphic design, network and security.

We focus on practice, so from the very beginning students work on actual practical cases. For our students’ start-ups pitching we invite our partners in IT industry.

Starting from the second year in “Dual training” our students can combine studies and internship in the leading international IT companies, such as Epam, Eleks, Softserve, Nix Solutions and Sigma. The best students are offered jobs there.

Online studies

Online branch in Kazakhstan Is distance learning program that is also developed by STEP Academy

The main difference between our online classes and those of other online schools is innovative approach and gamification. Online learning is very similar to actual classrooms, having the same lesson structure with 80% of time spent on practice. Students see their teachers, actively communicate and watch the whole process, while the tutor can see the students working and is able to assist. All of it is live, not pre-recorded. As a result, there is no boundary between the students and their teacher. Those who study well get crystal bonuses, which they can later exchange for various gifts.

Online studies are very suitable for people who are determined to be a part of IT, but nit able to attend the Academy.
