Expertise and quality teaching

Our experts are founders of agencies and companies, speakers in business schools. They’re more than professionals in their niche — they’re successful instructors who can explain anything in plain language.

Online classes

All lectures with instructors are online. You can get answers to your questions during the stream or whenever it’s convenient for you, after watching the recording, in the chat.

Personal support

Our students get 3 types of feedback: from the instructor, the instructor’s assistant and the curator. It makes the learning process more meaningful and comfortable and the student gets help with their issues on various levels.

Direct contact with instructors

You don’t need the VIP tariff to talk to the expert. Throughout the course, you can discuss topics and tasks with them during classes and in chats without additional payments.

Cases

During the course, students create a portfolio with assignments and present a final project. When looking for a job, you can show your portfolio and prove that you have positive work experience.

Learning comfort and speed

We develop courses with a team of marketers, methodologists and experts, so that a student could gain skills quickly and at a comfortable pace and we’d be able to help them become an independent specialist.

Imani’s Story: Left Banking to Become a UI Designer

I worked in the banking industry for 15 years, but 10 years ago, I went on maternity leave and was there for a while. Now, I have three children. I started thinking about part-time and remote work.

I read about the Sigma Academy on the Internet but never paid much attention. Then my friend said she’d started studying there, so I also applied. I chose the «UI Designer» course because it was different from what I knew and used to do.

We studied for two months only; the education was intense. I successfully completed the final project and started looking for a job. For some time, I worked for free to get experience. However, six months later, I got a job offer from a web design agency located in Germany.

I wish future students to choose an interesting specialty and find practical application for their knowledge.

Makena’s Story: I’m Working as a Software Tester from Home

I used to work in trade, but I’ve been on maternity leave for two years now. I found out about the Sigma Academy on the Internet. Initially, I wanted to take the course organized by a university, but it was too costly, so I looked into other options and the Academy came to mind.

I went to the «Software Tester» course. It’s a high-demand profession, which gives the opportunity to work from home. I liked the training, everything was clear. The instructor answered all my questions. The advantage was that you can watch lessons in the recording. After a while, I found a job in my new profession.

I wish future participants success in learning. Don’t get discouraged if something doesn’t work right away, like finding a job, and don’t compare your beginning to someone else’s peak.

Omari’s Story: Closed My Business and Plunged into Data Analysis

I had to close my business and started looking for a remote job. I came across the Sigma Academy on the Internet and took the «Data Analyst» course, because I heard many positive reviews about the work in IT.

At first, I didn’t think it was what I wanted. But I finished the course, I liked it, and I got an internship. The internship was great! When it ended, I was offered a job at the company.

I wish everyone persistence and perseverance. Don’t be afraid, with such instructors you’ll succeed! Keep learning, it’s an excellent opportunity to change your life.

Nia’s Story: From Lawyer to Graphic Designer. I Devote Time to My Family & Live Off 5/2 Schedule

I decided to start training while I was on maternity leave. Before that, I worked as a lawyer in a government agency. The job was OK, but I wanted more, especially in terms of salary. During maternity leave, I took a great interest in design. I took part in free marathons and a couple of paid courses, cooperated with a blogger, and created visuals for her social media. I wanted to study this subject more deeply, so I signed up for the «Graphic Designer» course at the Sigma Academy.

By the end of the course, I already had two clients. Two months later, I came back to my job, and applied for the position in the project channel — an online yoga school was looking for a graphic designer. I was invited to an internship and then hired. I’m still working there. When the level was equal to the salary at my main place of work, I quit my job. I want to devote time to my child and live off the 5/2 schedule.

I wish everyone to take advantage of this opportunity to get a new profession and choose a specialty that you like!

This Shouldn’t Stop You

I’m too old to start my career all over again

You have over a dozen years left if you plan to live until you are 90-95. If you want to make good money in an interesting job, now is the best time to start your career. Employers don’t care about your age, they care about your skills and portfolio. And we can help you with these.

It’s hard to combine learning with my job

The training is online, and you need 2-3 hours a day to study. Students watch lessons before/after work or on the weekends. Even if you don’t make it to the lecture, you can watch the recording. There’s 1-year access to the materials.

Digital professions are complicated

Each profession has its challenges. But thanks to the practice-oriented approach and our instructors, even beginners can easily gain skills. The courses spiral from simple to complex topics, and each module is reinforced with extensive practice.

There are few digital jobs in my city

If there are no jobs in your city in the profession you want to learn, it’s not a problem. A digital professional can work remotely from anywhere in the country or the world.

Competition in the labor market

We’ve analyzed job search sites — the demand for digital professionals is only growing. Some employers are ready to pay high salaries, but can’t find workers. If you solve business problems, you’ll become a valuable specialist. The competition won’t be a problem, and companies will be happy to invite you to the team.

Lack of free time

Online courses are a concentrated essence of theory and practice. You don’t have to spend 2-5 years, just 2-3 months is enough to start in a new field. You can study at a convenient time, you’ll need just a couple of hours a day. Attend the class online or watch the recording — the choice is yours.
