By joining MIC’s courses, I was able to improve my knowledge and build new skills. The classes were organized in a very effective way, combining both theoretical and practical parts. The optimal number of participants in the group created an interactive and productive learning environment. These courses are open to anyone interested in programming whether you want to become an in-demand professional or turn your innovative ideas into reality.

First of all, I would like to mention the warm atmosphere at the center, as well as the kindness and professionalism of the staff. The course was led by Artyom Tonoyan, a competent and highly professional specialist in this field, to whom I am very grateful for the knowledge I gained and the engaging, comprehensive lessons. To start a career as a programmer, it is enough to actively participate in the classes and follow the instructor’s guidance and advice. After completing the "Back-End Development / ASP.NET Core MVC" course, I began my professional journey at Revalcon as a .NET Intern Developer. Currently, I work at ServiceTitan Armenia as a Senior Software Engineer, and I can confidently say that Microsoft Innovation Center Armenia played a very significant role in the knowledge and confidence I have today.

I started learning coding when I was 22 and thought that maybe it was too late, as I was learning from books. At the innovation center I passed several courses and realized that coding is not just reading. It requires lots of practice. To become a good developer, one should find its passion in programming.

Programming is not easy to learn, it requires lots of commitment and patience. If one doesn't like coding, it will be extremely hard. One of the motivations is that there isn't an end point in programming, you learn new things every day. At the innovation center I took a few courses, participated in the coding bootcamp and learnt not only C# but worked with databases, acquired basic skills in front-end web development.
