Creating equal opportunity through free education

Yes, all our education programs are completely free. As a non-profit organization, the association operates through government programs, grants and sponsor funds, so no fees are charged to participants.

Anyone over the age of 16 can take part. No special knowledge is required — only basic computer literacy is recommended for some digital fields.

Fill out the form on the "Apply" page: provide your name, phone number and chosen field. Our specialists will contact you within 1–2 business days and explain all the details.

Pick any field in the application form and mention in the comment that you are unsure. Our specialists will contact you within 1–2 working days and help you choose a programme that fits your interests and circumstances. Before that, you can read the guide to choosing a profession in the «Useful articles» section.

A stable internet connection, headphones and a quiet place to study. In the digital programmes practical tasks are done on a computer, so a computer or laptop is recommended; some theory sessions can also be followed on a smartphone. If you have no basic computer skills yet, start with the «Computer literacy» programme.

The site has a «Glossary» that explains terms about computer basics, the internet, security, data, programming and job searching in plain words in three languages. If you still have a question, ask your instructor in class — never be shy about it.

Yes, all participants who successfully complete a program receive a certificate from the association.

Classes are held offline (at our training centers) and online, depending on the group schedule. When applying, you can choose the format that suits you.

Our work is carried out through state education programs, international grants and the support of sponsor organizations. Our annual reports are published openly in the "Reports" section.

No documents are needed to apply — your name and phone number are enough. Once you are placed in a group, a copy of your passport may be requested to issue the certificate.

If you miss a session for a valid reason, the instructor will provide additional material. However, missing more than 30% of sessions may mean no certificate is issued, since practical assignments are done together with the group.

It is technically possible but we do not recommend it: each program takes at least 6 hours of classes a week plus the same again in independent study. We suggest finishing one first.

Yes. Online programs are open across the country, and short mobile sessions are also run in district centers. Schedules are announced in the news section.

There are three routes: as a volunteer instructor, as a partner organization (offering a venue or internship places), or as a sponsor. See the "Get involved" page for details.
