Frequently asked questions
Each course is labelled beginner, intermediate or advanced. If you are unsure, book a free consultation and we will help you choose.
Flexible payment options are available for most programs. Contact us to discuss the right plan for you.
We mostly hold trainings with a Project Based Learning approach. Thanks to this approach, the students gain practical knowledge and develop their proficiency in the most efficient way.
After each training the students pass exams. Thus, both students and trainers have the opportunity to clearly assess the effectiveness of the training. Based on the results of the exams the students get certificates.
Upon completion of the training we give certificates to our students. Moreover, those whose performance is above 80% receive certificates of excellence.
We have developed a partner network that includes current best employers. In cooperation with them we do our best to assist our students in finding jobs. This network also helps us to organise internships for our students after the trainings.
Payment for the courses is made after the first lesson until the second lesson, in cash or by transfer. Payment for each stage is made for a fixed amount of 8 lessons.
Our courses are held in 2 main formats: online and offline. We believe that maintaining the format is very important for the effectiveness of the course.
BDG classrooms are technically equipped, and if necessary, we also provide students with laptops.
There is a break during each course, during which you can have a coffee and tea break.
HR consulting is carried out with our Career Development Specialist. With him, you can discuss your CVs, make corrections and finalize them, ready to apply for jobs.
All course materials, including recordings, books provided by trainers and other educational materials, are constantly available to our students during the course.
Individual courses are not currently designed, based on market needs and demands. During group courses, participants are also actively involved in teamwork, develop their communication skills, and learn to work in a team.
There is no age limit as such, as we value the spread of education to all age groups. It is especially important for us that people who already have experience and knowledge and want to acquire a new profession also go into a new educational direction.
Admission to each course is carried out through an interview or a test, or both at the same time. The choice of admission method depends on the requirements and specifics of the course.
We provide technical support to all our students related to the operational work of computers, as well as technical issues. The support is provided by our employee within the framework of the course.
Our team is in constant contact with students to provide the information you need, if necessary.
