TripleTen is an online career accelerator helping busy professionals transition into AI-ready tech roles. Their programs feature an AI-focused curriculum, hands-on practice, flexible learning format, and dedicated career coaches who guide you through the job search. Students won't just learn up-to-date skills — they will learn how the work is actually done, so they can step into their first tech role with confidence. TripleTen offers part-time programs in AI & Machine Learning, AI Software Engineering, Data Analytics, Quality Assurance, Cybersecurity, UX/UI Design, and AI Automation. They also offer full-time tracks for the AI Software Engineering and Cybersecurity programs. Upfront prices range between $7,050 and $14,000, with affordable installment plans available.
TripleTen's programs are designed to be beginner-friendly, and 80% of their students come from non-STEM backgrounds — so they don't need any coding experience, a tech background, or even a degree to get started. They offer a money-back guarantee: we will refund a student's tuition if they follow TripleTen's proven job search roadmap, but don't land a new tech job within 10 months of graduation.
Most of their programs are part-time and run from 4 to 9 months, with an average commitment of about 15–20 hours per week. TripleTen programs are designed for busy people: most of their graduates completed the program while working full-time, since the programs don’t have mandatory meeting times (just project deadlines).
As of 2025, every TripleTen program is updated to include AI tools and workflows to reflect employer needs reshaped by this new set of technologies. Backed by Nebius Group, a global leader in AI infrastructure, TripleTen’s curriculum reflects the impact of AI on the workplace and prepares our grads to succeed in this new reality.
TripleTen offers career and job search support as part of each program (including AI tools to accelerate the process). We’ve also ensured that each student can complete an externship (on-the-job training) project with a partner company. That means every student graduates with the hands-on experience that employers look for in 2026.
The AI and Machine Learning Program by TripleTen is a 9-month program designed for people from diverse backgrounds to enter one of the fastest-growing tech fields. You will learn everything from the foundations of Python and statistics to advanced topics like Neural Networks, Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, and Large Language Models. You’ll learn to use industry tools such as Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, HuggingFace, Scikit-learn, Keras, AWS, Docker/Kubernetes, Pandas + NumPy, and PySpark, among others.
By the end of the program, you will have 15 projects in your portfolio to show employers the exceptional specialist you have become. And while mastering technical tools, you will also develop the soft skills that ensure success. You’ll practice time management, teamwork, and problem-solving, as well as industry-specific abilities like working with documentation and building an online presence to stand out in your job search. The program includes externships for students to gain hands-on experience, as well as career support (including creating a resume and LinkedIn profile, improving networking and interview skills, career coaching and job search support).

I am a student in the Practicum Software Engineer course. In this course I have learned HTML and CSS, JavaScript, and I am currently learning React. The course also includes Backend programming, which I will get to soon.
I am extremely pleased to have chosen Practicum to learn web development. From day 1 the Practicum team has been very supportive, and their learning environment is excellent. The course is web based, and Practicum has a very well designed and implemented environment. After completing theory sessions in each section or sprint, you will use the Practicum IDE to complete exercises that are included with most theory lessons. After completing the section you will complete a project designed to put your new skills to use. It is extremely satisfying to see the web pages come to life!
One other exciting skill I have picked up is using GitHub. All of the Practicum projects are done using GitHub, and this is a very valuable skill for web developers/software engineers to learn.
The lessons and projects are extremely well done, and the people are even better. Practicum has global students, and they have a global team of community managers, code reviewers and tutors. The Practicum team really is top notch and they do show a lot of care about my progress, and there is always someone to help me when I need help.
Multiple different courses in a 9 month program. Each course gives you 2-3 weeks to complete it and includes lessons along with a project to help improve your skills.
I started my journey to become a data scientist with no experience in coding. I tried using online sources but was quickly overwhelmed by the bulk of material and things I needed to know. More than anything, I was looking for a structured program. A kind of road map to becoming a data scientist. I decided to start the course on Practicum and I am glad I did.

I started my journey to become a data scientist with no experience in coding. I tried using online sources but was quickly overwhelmed by the bulk of material and things I needed to know. More than anything, I was looking for a structured program. A kind of road map to becoming a data scientist. I decided to start the course on Practicum and I am glad I did. The program is very structured and there is a definite road map that you can see. The lessons are quite understandable too. Even with no prior experience in coding, I was able to understand different coding concepts and practice them on the website. And even times when I felt lost, all I had to do was ask questions and the tutors would give solutions to whatever problems I was facing. The support is really great. Also, with this program, you don't have to go through long installations of different software just to get you up and running. All tasks can be coded and solved on the platform and so no need to worry about getting a new PC due to heavy software requirements. I'm currently training and using machine learning models and algorithms on different real life projects. That's a huge step up from not knowing how to code when I first started. In all, it's a great course, real value for your money.
The data science program offered by Practicum is very well structured to help you succeed. I enrolled this program knowing nothing about programming, and the lessons offered in the platform offered enough practice, examples, and projects to practice the skills that I learned in the program.

I would highly recommend this program if you're a beginner and want to master the skills needed to become a data scientist.
Amazing learning experience for all skill levels and stages of life

Software Engineering Bootcamp with Practicum-Yandex
Here are some of my thoughts about the P-Y Software Engineering Bootcamp. I’ve been involved for about five months since the beginning of 2022. That’s almost half-way through the nine-month, part-time program. I find this bootcamp to be a very powerful learning platform. The course is a combination of online course material, interaction with an experienced tutor, online coding videos, projects with rigorous reviews and interaction with other students. All of this provides an opportunity to learn and prepare to enter the job market. The program is comprised of sprints with two- to three-week duration, with enough flexibility to allow self-pacing. Twenty hours per week is the minimum effort; more if you want to dive deeper.
Since my goal is to work remotely, the day-to-day experience of this bootcamp has been a good model for what lies ahead. Often, it’s too easy to keep my head down working. I’ve learned how important it is to recharge by stepping away. It’s true that short breaks bring solutions by letting your brain work in the background. Longer breaks help with maintaining balance. When entering a bootcamp, it’s important to keep this in mind!
Another aspect is the enormous body of knowledge. My guess is that I’ll have acquired ten-percent of the available knowledge when I’m done with the bootcamp. Together with an attitude of continuous learning, I believe that ten-percent will be the right amount to get started. With so much information, so many different programming languages, and so many different specialties, I think it’s important to think of the bootcamp as a launching pad.
You must be willing to search out information on your own. The course will take you only so far and then it’s expected that you will be creative and inquisitive to find answers on your own. Use internet search to find not only solutions for the project in front of you, but also to learn how to promote yourself in the job market, and to learn what your future path might be.
Finally, a hats-off to both our Community Manager who helps to keep everything afloat from making sure we know deadlines, online workshop schedules and upcoming seminars about networking and finding jobs, and our Tutor who goes out of his way to explain how your code may be great but what you did in twenty lines of code could be done in two.

But nothing major that cant be worked around. The curriculum is top notch and the Community managers and tutors are excellent. They are very hands on and involved with their students. And are very accommodating as well. I work a more than full time job where the term weekend does not apply and over exhaustion is a real pain to deal with. And piling the workload from the program on top of that has not been easy. And because of this they have been really accommodating for my tuff schedule and that is something I highly value about their program. They truly want you to succeed.
Learning Software Engineer with Practicum by Yandex

I started the data science (DS) Bootcamp with Practicum by Yandex during the first week of October 2021. I choose to attend a DS Bootcamp because I want to prepare myself well for a career in DS. The cohort and community manager, Ana, is always very responsive and supportive of any questions during the learning process. The instructors and tutors are very knowledgeable, and they actively answer any questions that I have within 24 hours and usually within only a few hours. The interaction on the Slack channels is very smooth, responsive, and engaging. If some tough questions are hard to explain by typing in Slack, tutors will happily hold 1-1 Zoom sessions with any questions. I found the personalized support very motivating and beneficial.
The DS Bootcamp has 17 modules/sprints on essential data science topics: basic python, data preprocessing, exploratory data analysis (EDA), statistical data analysis, integrated project 1, data collection and storage (SQL), introduction to machine learning, supervised learning, machine learning in business, integrated project 2, linear algebra, numerical methods, time series, machine learning for texts, computer vision, unsupervised learning, and the final project. Each module/sprint has chapters to study and interactive exercises and lessons. At the end of each module/sprint, an assigned sprint project requires applying the knowledge and skills in that module and some previous modules to solve problems. It is a cumulative learning process. Modules and projects in later modules require the skillful application of skills learned from previous modules. That also means that as one progresses, the project feels harder. So if you start off feeling, "Wow, these are too easy for me!" Then wait for a while, you will realize, "Wow, these are not that easy for me!" I like to be challenged and grow, so the progression of the complexity of the modules/sprints feels excellent!
It is a flexible learning process. There are deadlines for each module and project. A certain level or amount of extension is possible if one falls behind. If you want to finish faster, that is possible too. As long as you can complete the modules' lessons and projects and pass the project code reviews, you can continue and move forward. Speaking of project reviews, the reviewers are sharp at picking out mistakes. The perk is that they also offer more efficient code or approach to solve problems if my code is too bulky or output looks too "ugly." The community manager will coordinate the process and facilitate your needs, whether you are going fast or slow.
Now, 16 weeks into the program, I am at module 11. I spend a few hours learning and flexing my DS muscles each day. I am feeling stronger. This journey with many like-minded friends, peers, and data scientists is super enjoyable. I like the journey more and more. My heartfelt appreciation goes to everyone I come across on this journey. Thank you.

Studying in the ‘Data Analyst’ program conducted by ‘Practicum by Yandex’ was a nice experience for me to learn lots of new things in a sequential and well-organized way.
A basic introductory course, Python and Basic Data Analysis has been provided for free where anyone can get an idea of the style of the program. Almost everything that is necessary has been included in the mainstream in an organized way and explained in a nice manner so that it has become easier for students from different backgrounds to learn and gain a deep comprehension. It should be mentioned that it's not possible to unlock the next topic without completing the current topic. This approach has given the platform a new dimension so that students are supposed to complete the task with good knowledge.
There are several communities of students, support teams, community managers and well-knowledged tutors. All are there to help with any kind of problems; therefore, it has been a nice way to learn and discuss across the time zone. It’s just awesome to see that twelve projects (guided) are also completed within the duration of the original program.
In a nutshell, theories, tasks, projects, community and platform all contributed to make the program outstanding. Finishing the course will boost any students’ knowledge, confidence and implementation power as well.
Well, the first 2 weeks seemed great at Yandex-Practicum, then I discovered that their program is full of bugs which hinders understanding of the practical exercises. You have to message customer support who, in some cases, just give you the answer, and unlock the next lesson for you. So you may not understand the practical tasks because you didn't even get a chance, but you'll need them later, for the project they ask you to submit every 2 weeks.

Well, the first 2 weeks seemed great at Yandex-Practicum, then I discovered that their program is full of bugs which hinders understanding of the practical exercises. You have to message customer support who, in some cases, just give you the answer, and unlock the next lesson for you. So you may not understand the practical tasks because you didn't even get a chance, but you'll need them later, for the project they ask you to submit every 2 weeks.
Lessons are locked, even though they say in their guidelines that they won't prevent you from learning while they review your projects. For example, you can't actually study any of the lessons in a chapter unless you complete today's lesson. Even if you don't understand it and want to tackle a different lesson to not waste time, all other lessons are locked so you're forced to complete today's lesson. In a book, if you have 5 chapters to study and are having a hard time with one of them, you can always study another, so you don't waste time, and get back to the hard one when your mind is clearer or can get some help understanding it. That brings me to another issue: you can't afford to wait or do extra research to understand confusing concepts in any one lesson because the entire course has very strict deadlines so you have to complete the lesson even if you didn't understand any of it.
The time pressure is enourmous and even though they advertise the course as a 20-hour per week course, it's actually not like that. It requires way more time, expecially for beginners who have no prior or very little experience with coding. I spent almost double the time in some instances and seriously thought of hiring someone outside of the course to help me. That while actually paying Yandex to help me learn.
One huge problem is the discrepancy between the level of the lessons and practice (which is very basic, for beginners) and the level of the project required at the end of each sprint (at least intermediate level to advanced). I told one of their reps once: the way you're doing this is like giving me the alfabet of a new, foreign language then asking me to write an award-winning novel. That's how big the discrepancy is. The level of expertise and perfection required for the project exceeds anything taught in the lessons. Not to mention that if you had a lesson with bugs, and customer support just fed you the answer without you even having to figure out the task, you're basically in the dark when you have to incorporate that in the project.
This brings me to another issue: the way they tell you that you need to ask for help for your projects. You're supposed to exhaust all possibilities on your own, then ask your fellow students, and only then contact a tutor. You could spend hours and hours scouring the internet for answers, before you can ask your fellow students. But your fellow students are not allowed to give you the answer either, only to direct you to other resources. If those resources don't work or are incomplete, only then you should contact your tutor. And the tutor doesn't give you the answer, but usually directs you to yet more resources, which then you have to decipher yet again. Every once in a while, you might get the right answer because someone takes pity on you, but very rarely, even when it's obvious you've been running into a wall and tried everything you could think of. This system only promotes waste of time and energy when you could just get straighforward help for some things.
Another huge issue: we're supposed to complete a project every 2-3 weeks, but the instructions contain confusing, inconsistent information, and once you submit the project, it can get rejected at least 4 times, and the next sprint/module starts immediately, in some cases. But the lessons in that next module are not available because Yandex-Practicum keeps them locked until your project gets approved. They have 4 official rejections for your project but they may reject it for some mistakes in the beginning, which doesn't count towards the 4 official rejections. The reviewer almost never gives you a straight answer about what you've done wrong, just that you need to correct '[insert issue]'. He/she only respond once every 24 hours so if your project gets rejected one or two times (without review) because of some mistake, which doesn't count towards the 4 official rejections, then 3 times with review, before your final rejection, that means you've wasted 1-5 days. That's a whole week during which all you can do is wait for the reviewer to decide what else is wrong with your project. In the meantime, you have no acees to the next lessons. And the next sprint starts per the schedule, for which you're not eligible and you can't access because , again, they haven't approved your project. Even though their guidelines say lessons will not be locked while you're waiting for review (as I've mentioned).
The whole review process is messed up. It's almost like a mind game, like a relationship with a toxic partner who tells you that they're upset with you, but they won't tell you what it is. But they're upset so you have to figure out what's wrong and fix it. This is the strategy Practicum employs for projects, which is just not healthy, and it's constantly demoralizing. For every project submission (I've done two), you see your project getting rejected again and again with barely any indication as to why. Then you submit it for the third of 4th time, after trying to figure out what's wrong, knowing that if it doesn't get approved, you'll have to leave your current class and wait to join the next one. Which puts you behind your class and your own deadlines to finish the course. It's in their guidelines: after the 4th rejection, you have to wait for and transfer to the class that started after you until they catch up, while your current class continues advancing.
I'm not a stupid person, but they make it so hard to get your project approved and actually help you feel satisfied that you did a good job. My last project got rejected 3 times, 2 of them because I didn't remove comments in the code, even after I manually removed them all and checked every single line at least twice. No instructions as to how to find all of them or where the elusive comment might be hiding. In the meantime, my code is solid, the website works, but there's one comment or a minuscule character that was part of a comment somewhere, and I'm on the verge of the fourth and final rejection because of that. Which means I'll fall behind again because I'll be demoted to the next class.
They make you have a constant feeling that you're on the verge of falling behind after every sprint, and it makes you miserable. And you have many sprints before the end of the course so living with that all the time, every 2-3 weeks, is just not right. And definitely not necessary. Negative reinforcement much?
They advertise this as a 20-hour per week course, for 10 months. This is grossly misrepresenting the time you have to dedicate to this. It says it's beginner-friendly but it's not. It requires perfection from the students but the organization of the course is a mess, their software has many bugs and the support you receive seems minimal, with very few exceptions, and definitely doesn't bolster confidence in the process. I've never felt so discouraged in my life, after working like crazy and ignoring everything else in my life. Even when I tried to start early, so I get a head start, I still fell behind because of the way the course is structured. When I tried to study harder every day to finish the lessons early, so I can start on the project early, I still fell behind, again because of the way the course is structured. Psychologically, my last 2 months with Yandex-Practicum have put me off learning to code. This is like the worst possible situation to be in when you're learning something. Your growth and development as a student is stunted.
I'm done with the course and I can't actually recommend it to anyone. I feel like it employs some bad teaching techniques which seem akin to toxic mind games, and which make the learning process torturous. Which is not how it's supposed to be. It's supposed to be hard work but not to break you mentally after every sprint. And this was just the beginning sprints, with many saying: it'll get harder. If they make it this hard now, what am I supposed to expect over the next months?
Obviously, this is my opinion, and maybe other students are having an easier time. But like I said, I'm not a stupid person, and I like math and logical thinking so if it's this hard for me, I can't imagine what it's like for others who come from other backgrounds. I guess I'm not willing to put up with the unhealthy system they have. Maybe others are.
Yandex-Practicum has notified me that they're giving me a partial refund.
Irina, hi! Thank you for such detailed feedback. We are very sorry that you had an unpleasant experience while studying with us. Our team has read your review and would like to respond to a few of your points:
We will definitely look at the practical tasks you were mentioned, check them, and improve them to deliver a better educational experience for our students. We are also looking into the issue you raised about not being able to access new material until your project has been accepted.
Our program has a linear structure, and the tasks gradually increase in complexity, and are designed assuming students have mastered concepts introduced in earlier lessons. This is why students are required to finish a lesson before moving to the next one. 20 hours is the average amount of time our students spend studying per week. Some need more, some need less; the exact amount depends on previous experience, background, and other such factors.
There are Slack channels available to all students to post their questions. These channels are monitored by tutors, and there are no restrictions on when or how often you may ask questions. Additionally, our tutors are always ready to provide individual help via 1:1 sessions when students are struggling. We believe the immediately giving straight answers is not an efficient way to become a self-driven web developer. In your career, you'll constantly need to independently research new concepts, and we want to prepare you for this.
During code review, professional developers review projects, leaving suggestions and comments throughout the code. They target items to fix and areas of potential improvement. If a reviewer's comments are unclear, our tutors are available to clarify them. We believe code review is a very valuable experience.
Finally, we will provide you with a partial refund for the part of the program you did not complete. We are very sorry that our program was not a good fit for you, and we respect your decision to leave. Again, thank you for such comprehensive feedback. We wish you the best of luck in your future studies!

Practicum by Yandex's Web Development Curriculum is quite comprehensive and very well structured and updated according to the current technology stack in the market. I have been learning Web development by myself but this bootcamp has given me a proper structure and time-line to my journey. The learning platform does a great job in laying out the theory and hands on. The bootcamp not only trains you on technical stuffs but also supports you with mentors who are professional Web developers themselves and always ready to help you out in projects and even side projects. The bootcamp also have community managers who are like our shock absorbers and a great emotional help. Apart from everything else, I like that the bootcamp promotes healthy learning environment and gives us many opportunities to work in real-world like scenarios through its various initiatives.
Pros 1. Very supportive community of students, mentors and community managers. 2. The curriculum is comprehensive and always getting updated. 3. The bootcamp's vision to provide students an exposure to the real world situation, is commendable.
The online platform of the course is really great. In each chapter the beginning is learning the theoretical material, in this part there are plenty of examples and code parts to make it practical. Sometimes when the material is really hard, I think they should have add videos which is not so common. But they do refer to extra reading webpages or other explanations. Afterwards, there are projects (first about small portion of material and then integrated). They are awesome tool for s...
The online platform of the course is really great. In each chapter the beginning is learning the theoretical material, in this part there are plenty of examples and code parts to make it practical. Sometimes when the material is really hard, I think they should have add videos which is not so common. But they do refer to extra reading webpages or other explanations. Afterwards, there are projects (first about small portion of material and then integrated). They are awesome tool for studying because you don't only get "Pass" or "Fail", you get some recommendations on things that were not in the theory and can improve your project (inc. visualization, using another methods/ functions ect.). One disadvantage is that the "community" feeling is not so strong, there is a "forum" where anyone can ask questions, but no one answer other students, just the tutors are doing it. In general I would totally recommend the course for lone learners.

I've always wanted to break into data analysis because it would be a great boost for my career. I did my research and decided to go with Practicum by Yandex. Going forward, I have no regrets! Currently, I'm in the middle of the Data Analyst program. So far, I like that Practicum has a good and detailed course structure. The material is well-written and easy to understand. There are 12 projects that become part of your portfolio once you finish. I completed 6 projects so far and I found them engaging. Of course, they were challenging, but believe it or not, this is the real deal. I'd also like to highlight the dedicated support team. My cohort is guided by a professional tutor and a very friendly community manager. Also, there's a senior student who makes sure that my questions and queries are answered promptly. I got lucky with my group mates, and it's a great feeling when you can discuss stuff with them. Every two weeks our tutor organizes live coding webinars where upcoming projects are explained and there's a Q&A session as well. At the end of the program, there's going to be the career acceleration part and I'm so excited about that. One thing that I'd like to say though is that the work of the platform could be improved because sometimes it can be slow. But it happens rarely and it gets fixed pretty quickly. The Practicum team are always improving the course and they are very open about the feedback they receive! They are there for you throughout the whole journey, so you won't feel alone! I highly recommend the Practicum by Yandex Data Analyst program if you're looking for new opportunities to kickstart a career in the field of data analysis.
Landing a new job is not just a dream anymore. Thanks Practicum

I have been teaching high school English since I graduated from my university. A few years ago, I started to think about switching my career and seriously considered coding. The idea of building something from scratch and being beneficial to online businesses at the same time had been stuck in my head for some time. I chose data analysis because I wanted to challenge myself and see how my humanitarian mindset could perform in the analytical field. While researching different boot camps such as GA, Galvanize, Fullstack, I discovered Practicum by Yandex. I was impressed by the curriculum, study approach, and most importantly, the Career Acceleration Program upon graduation. And you get all of that for a very reasonable price. I graduated a month ago and am now taking part in the Career Acceleration program. The study process was great, as I managed to acquire all the needed skills for an entry-level job —Python, SQL, ML, working with databases, and building with them from scratch. In just six months, not only did I obtain those skills, I got to see how they are implemented. Currently, I've completed two mock interviews, provided by Practicum's team, and have built my professional portfolio, filled with the projects I had completed throughout the course. In fact, I already have several interviews with companies scheduled for next week, and I am beyond excited about what lies ahead. To sum it up, I would highly recommend Practicum to people who want to make a career change. Practicum works with you every step of the way, from helping you understand what coding is and how the industry works, to landing your first position.
The intro course was very clear, very well made, and even fun. I only encountered one issue with while completing the intro course and the help chat was able to get me set correctly within minutes.
