What makes Hyperskill different is the combination of learning by doing and tight integration with community features, like checking the most popular answers from others and the ability to ask questions. It's the best learning experience I've had so far!

It has all the necessary theory, lots of practice, and projects of different levels. I haven't skipped any of the 3000+ coding exercises because I know that in the end I will benefit from solving them. I also like that the entire program is well-structured and divided into stages. It all helps make me more and more confident in my programming skills

I have thoroughly enjoyed going through the Python Core track. I have learned a lot and the documentation is very good, I highly recommend it - it really helps when you've come to a jam and need to refresh your understanding of the topic.

It was an interesting learning process. The absence of any kind of schedule provided the opportunity to study at my own pace at any time of the day. I liked the systematic presentation of the material and those small jokes throughout the content that gave a bit of rest for the brain.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the prerequisites to start this program?

No prerequisites are needed for Hyperskill’s Kotlin Backend Developer program. Beginners will start from scratch, while those with experience in other JVM languages like Java can further enhance their skills. This means the program duration can vary based on your experience level.

Does this program mean that I can get a job at JetBrains Kotlin team?

We don’t provide job opportunities or internships at JetBrains: your career ultimately depends on you and your efforts. The skills and knowledge you gain here will put you in a strong position to apply if that’s your goal, but getting a job at JetBrains will depend on their hiring process. Who knows—you might end up there someday!

How long does it take to complete it?

We estimate that this program can be completed approximately within 7 months, even for learners with no prior programming experience. However, we recognize that everyone learns at their own pace. We recommend dedicating 5-10 hours per week to studying. To ensure you have ample time, we've added an extra month to the timeline. If needed, deadlines can also be adjusted individually.

I already have a premium subscription. Can I join?

Yes, absolutely! This program includes premium access to the platform. Follow the steps to switch your subscription and recalculate the base price.

What’s the difference between the Kotlin Backend Developer course on Hyperskill and this program? Will we learn any new content here?

This program is built on our existing content, but we’ve curated and structured it into a guided path, designed to be the optimal way to expand your stack with Kotlin. You’ll work on selected projects and topics alongside your teammates in a synchronized manner, with mentor guidance. Plus, you’ll be the first to access any new content we’re preparing for Kotlin developers!

Can I take a look at the program?

Will there be any webinars or other events?

We will hold only one webinar to explain this program to our future learners. During your studies, there won’t be any additional webinars or live events, but we encourage you to connect with peers in the same time zones and team up!
