I especially liked how the course material was presented: it was easy to understand, even for newbies like myself, and with a lot of examples.

It won’t be easy. You’ll be constantly searching for information and staying out of your comfort zone. But don’t be afraid to give it a go, it’s totally worth it.

When I started working at Mercury, I realized how closely Academy reflects the day-to-day work! What you are learning here is what you will actually be doing at work.

The internship is designed for those who want to work in IT or are already in the industry and want to change direction. After an internship, analysts are undergraduates and graduates, designers and support specialists, as well as people not from IT at all, for example, from banks and logistics.
The basis of the internship is the practical part, which is as close as possible to the real work of a business analyst at Mercury.
In a short time, you will be able to master all the main aspects of business analysis - from getting to know the customer of a potential project and ending with the preparation of requirements for the final product; design a ready-made interface and conduct its demo presentation; improve business writing skills and English; learn about functional and non-functional requirements and prepare a specification based on them.
The internship will take place in 2 stages. At the first - lectures and a lot of practice. The second will be individual work with a curator on educational projects with real tasks from the world of commercial development.
The duration of the internship is 2.5–3 months. Employment from 10 hours a week, but more if you have a desire and free time. The schedule is flexible and takes into account your personal schedule.
We pay scholarships to successful interns, and we invite the best ones to work at Mercury.

Mercury Academy enrolled its first students back in 2012, and we were very impressed with the outcome.
After the end of the course, we selected the top 8 students out of 134, and invited them to join our company. In no time at all, Academy graduates became lead developers in our company, and some of them are still working at Mercury.
Somewhere around 2014, we decided to slightly change the learning format to give more emphasis to self-learning and take a more individual approach to our trainees through dedicated supervisors (the role taken on by our very best engineers).
After completing their training, the most successful trainees will be invited to join our team. Hours are flexible: we can work around your schedule.
After completing our training program, all graduates will receive a certificate, and the best trainees will be invited to join our team. We keep in touch with all our former trainees, and, based on the information we have, those who did not receive a job offer from us for some reason, in most cases found work at other IT companies within 1-2 months, without any problems.
As a rule, two to three months. It really depends on how much time you can afford to spend on it.
The training mostly relies on self-study. You will be assigned a supervisor who will be helping you to learn theory and will check your practical tasks. Most of the training can be done from home, with the exception of iOS training (if you don’t have a Mac at home, you’ll have to come to our lab). You can do the training in your free time. The only thing you need to schedule in advance is your meetings with your supervisor. On the average, the training will take 10 hours a week.
Training at our company does not mean that you have to work for us.
We cannot guarantee that you will get a job. Everything will depend on the situation. If we have an opening at the junior level, candidates who successfully completed our training will be given a priority. However, if we don’t have any openings at the time, we cannot guarantee that we will hire you.
Yes, you will. We give certificates to all trainees who finish the program.
