This course is designed for those who want to change careers and become highly paid professionals. It’s suitable for working people who have little free time.
In this course, you will learn to create real projects, with the same level of complexity as in the industry. And you will do them correctly, so that after the course you can deliver high-quality results that companies are willing to pay for.
To achieve such training quality, we use the professional triad "criteria-projects-mentors":
MentorsMentors, who are professional developers, check your projects for compliance with quality criteria.
Quality criteriaWe develop professional quality criteria together with companies and the professional community.
Real projectsDuring the course, you complete real projects.
During the course, you complete real projects.
It’s exactly in this triad. In exercises, you study the basic language constructions, while on the professional course you learn techniques and methods for solving real-world professional tasks.
First, you study the theory: go through exercises, watch lectures, experiment with interactive demos, and read the textbook.
Next, you complete homework assignments, work on your project, and consolidate the material you’ve learned.
A mentor will check the quality of your assignments and share advice on how to improve.
The course is designed for beginners. To start, it’s enough to complete HTML and CSS exercises. You should also have basic computer literacy to install and run programs.
The learning process is structured so that you can comfortably study regardless of your work schedule.
Up-to-date quality standards: no need to relearn after the course.
Understanding the full workflow of a front-end developer.
Fundamental and structured knowledge of necessary technologies.
Experience working with deadlines and planning tasks.
We believe that students should receive feedback from experienced specialists who are currently working in the market, solving modern problems, and using up-to-date approaches and tools.
To select such specialists, we built a unique recruitment and filtering system.
Together with your mentor, you will develop a project in an ecosystem familiar to professionals. The workflow is very similar to real development in large companies.
We check where the mentor candidate worked, what experience they have, and also review their code.
We conduct a one-hour interview to assess subject knowledge, the ability to explain clearly, and other personal qualities.
Candidates who pass the interview start working with students. This is just the beginning of their mentoring journey. After each course, we collect feedback that helps mentors improve.
During the course, a mentor will accompany you. They will review your code, check your assignments, answer questions, and share their expertise.
Code review is a common practice in large companies when a more experienced developer checks the code of a less experienced one. Most of the feedback you’ll receive from your mentor will be in the form of code reviews.
When code review isn’t enough, mentors use voice consultations, often with screen sharing. During these sessions, they analyze complex issues or demonstrate advanced techniques.
In the course, you will work on the project “Sedona.” In the individual training format, you will also have access to additional projects “Device” and “Gllacy.”
We have long established ourselves in the professional community. Both developers and large companies know us and our graduates. Here are some reviews from companies about our courses and graduates.
Overall, the training program at the Academy is well-structured for a start. It helps prepare a universal professional who can work effectively both in an agency and in a large product company. If someone defends their project 100%, it shows that they are capable of learning, motivated, and have the personal qualities needed for future work. After that, everything depends on their activity and ability to prove their skills in practice.
As a mentor in the courses and a former student, I know the Academy’s quality standards and how the work is organized. Everything is as close to real conditions as possible — Git version control is used, projects are divided into stages (iterations), mandatory code review by mentors, and strict deadlines. Much attention is paid to accessibility, which is beneficial for the entire industry.
At Avito, we don’t have layout designers, only frontend developers of different levels. To join us as a junior developer, a person must have certain skills: confident knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, understanding how the browser works, knowledge of cross-browser compatibility, API, DOM, and other key basics. In addition, we value responsibility, teamwork, the desire to grow, and initiative.
When it comes to layout and creating web pages, our team is very attentive to semantic markup, the ability to write clean CSS, and systematic thinking in a developer. Pages should not only look good for users but also load quickly, be well-structured, and of course, convenient for teamwork. With the volume of projects we have, this is very important.
We also value an understanding of accessibility principles, since caring about people who will use the interface is simply good practice. A person joining our team should not be afraid to tackle unfamiliar tasks, look for creative solutions, and take responsibility.
In this sense, the Academy’s approach to training seems adequate: code reviews from experienced developers prepare students well for work. It is especially valuable that all project work is done through Git — in our company, all work also goes through mandatory reviews.
Currently, a graduate of the Academy, Pavel, works in our team, and I am satisfied with him. The necessary basic skills, understanding of semantics, working with clean CSS — all of this is at a good level. As for JavaScript — he quickly adapts if he has done something similar before. He was ready to get to work right away.
Sometimes, when a new junior developer joins, mentoring has to cover even the smallest details. With Pavel, integration into the team was almost effortless.
As a manager, I don’t care about certificates and diplomas; I look at the code a person writes, what drives them to work in this field, and why they chose frontend. If I see that a person is self-developing, taking courses, and determined — for me, that is a good indicator of their motivation.
At Ostrovok.ru, we are constantly looking for talented people: our product is developing rapidly, and extra frontend hands (preferably “golden ones”) are always needed. Finding a good specialist is not easy, so we have turned to the Academy several times when recruiting juniors.
The guys came with a solid foundation and enthusiasm, quickly integrating into our processes and team. Currently, three graduates of the Academy work at Ostrovok.ru — all in junior positions and doing great.
Thanks to the Academy for well-prepared specialists.
We regularly send our employees to trainings, seminars, and intensives and are always open to educational programs — this is how we got to know HTML Academy.
Employees who completed the courses said that the material in the lectures and assignments was presented clearly and engagingly. They also noted that after the training, thinking shifted to better understand the specifics of the language, which helps in their work. The training required a lot of time, but it was worth it.
For our company’s tasks, the training program covers all the necessary fundamentals and even some tricks. That’s why we send both experienced developers to the Academy to structure their knowledge and beginners to bring them up to the required level.
HTML Academy is the best thing that has happened to IT education.
If you’re afraid you won’t understand or think “programming is not for you,” then HTML Academy is perfect for you. There will always be someone to ask and someone to support you.
They worked a lot with the community to understand exactly what knowledge is needed at work. It’s amazing how close everything is to real development.
A graduate of the Academy applied for our frontend developer position. The knowledge gained in the JavaScript and layout intensives helps him solve tasks with minimal effort.
Overall, the training at the Academy gave our employee the opportunity to grow as a good developer and approach problem-solving professionally.
A huge thanks to HTML Academy for amazing graduates! We hired three interns, and later two of them stayed with us full-time. Great guys with solid backgrounds! The Academy trains strong specialists!

I started taking interactive courses to pass time at work. During the process, I realized that changing my career path wasn’t far off. I was a bit afraid of the intensive course, thinking it would be much harder than just taking courses and I might not cope. In the end, everything was much easier than I expected.
The most exciting part is working on a project from scratch, gradually understanding how websites are built, and when pressing F12 doesn’t scare you with a jumble of code. And the best part is seeing your work gradually resembling the design. The course is structured conveniently, giving much more knowledge than regular interactive courses. Special thanks to the teachers for clear explanations and interesting lectures, and thanks to the Academy for the opportunity to study from your couch.
I came to the intensive course with almost zero knowledge, having completed several interactive course sections. I learned a lot and gained practical experience working on my personal project. The mentors are excellent, responsive, and, most importantly, always available.
The material delivery and lectures are excellent. The instructors are true professionals, everything is clear and accessible. Just listen carefully and gain knowledge. Now I’m confident I will continue learning and reach my goal—to get a job as a junior developer. I wish all future students of this amazing Academy success in passing projects and landing their dream job.
HTML Academy is a fan of their craft. If you want to learn frontend development, the Academy is your best friend. Thanks to the course, you can learn in a month what would take six months on your own—and not necessarily correctly without someone checking your code. The Academy gives every student a personal mentor.
I hesitated whether to take the course. I read reviews and comments, but after attending, I have no regrets. The course is very good; coming in as an inexperienced beginner, you leave confident that you can already create a decent website.
Mikhail MoskvinThe course is amazing! It gives a huge amount of knowledge, even though it’s just the introductory course. Yes, it’s challenging, yes, you have to work hard, but it’s worth it. There were moments I wanted to quit, but thanks to the mentor and progress already made, I pushed through and passed with 100%. Overall, highly recommended!
Very grateful to the Academy for the intensive course “HTML & CSS. Professional Layout”. Not only for the structured knowledge, many useful articles and links, but also for the time saved by not self-studying.
Balancing work and learning was not very difficult; plan your time wisely and you’ll manage. Special thanks for working with a mentor, which is a key part of learning and contributes greatly to project success. Planning to continue learning at the Academy.
Alexander LezovIt was an amazing month. Learned a lot of new things, previous knowledge from interactive courses fell into place. The way information is delivered, lecture recordings, and individual planning with a mentor help you successfully complete the course, even with limited free time.
My impressions of the course are only positive. I’ve never learned anything so fast. The teaching is excellent. Knowledge gained this way stays with you for a long time. I even learned more than expected. This course is perfect for people who procrastinate.
The material is presented in an engaging way, interactive courses allow hands-on practice, and lecturers are true masters of their craft. Opportunity to ask questions during online lectures is great.
At first I was unsure if the first level would be easy or boring. I had some prior experience, so I was curious. The answer came quickly—definitely not boring. Interesting lectures, well-selected material, top-notch teachers, humor, and positivity—this is the Academy.
But that’s all background. What exactly did I gain from the intensive?
The Academy is, without a doubt, the best thing in learning. I signed up for the next course while taking this one, and I recommend you do the same. Best wishes to all!
Roman YurlovIt was an interesting, challenging, exciting, and very intensive course. Sometimes I wanted to quit. Sometimes it seemed I wouldn’t succeed, once I even deleted everything and started over. Sometimes I forgot to sleep, and sometimes I coded in my sleep.
The most exciting part is when you see a complete website appear from scratch and start understanding how everything works. I didn’t regret it at all. There’s still much to learn, but the beginning is laid. Next courses are ahead.
