Programming education in Uzbekistan is becoming more and more accessible!

The year 2020 is notable not only for its historical events that shook the whole world but also for the development that took place and continues to this day. Elon Musk, for example, launched a rocket and sent two astronauts into space, returning them safe and sound, began launching 5G antennas into space, thanks to which shortly, high-speed Internet will appear around the world. The development has not spared Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan has started to develop the IT sector in the country very closely and actively, which has borne fruit in the form of the great demand for IT specialists, IT companies, and courses where they teach IT specialties.

Today, we can see how more and more companies in almost all fields of activity are rebuilding their internal processes and functions, automating them, thereby increasing the demand for programmers and developers. But where to find them? And where to learn this if you want to keep up with the future, keep up with the development and become the right IT specialist? This can help courses which have recently become quite a lot in our country. In this article, we have selected some of the most profitable, affordable, paid and free, online, and offline programming courses available in Uzbekistan.

We'll probably start with the courses on IT Centers. Thanks to IT Centers located in almost all regions and Tashkent, today, absolutely everyone has the opportunity to learn relevant professions of the future, regardless of their age and location.

And for those who don't know yet, IT Centers are training centers accessible to all segments of the population, where you can learn digital technologies. In IT Centers, you can study such specialties as:

- Computer literacy;
- In-depth work with MS Office;
- Web programming languages;
- Basics of graphics and design;
- Creating mobile apps;
- The Python programming language;
- Mobile robotics based on Arduino and LEGO Mindstorms;
- Cybersports: CS: GO, Dota2, FIFA20.

One year of training in an IT Center will give much more than a few years of training in a higher educational institution.

One Million Uzbek Coders is our next source of even more affordable programming courses. So accessible that they are free in both Uzbek and English. OMUC is an online platform created for people who want to learn programming, for those who want to start somewhere and don't want to waste their time looking for good teachers. OMUC includes courses in 4 areas: Android development (in partnership with Google), Front-end development, Full-stack development, and Data Analysis.

The One Million Uzbek Coders project is aimed at developing local IT education, thereby providing the population of Uzbekistan with opportunities for affordable and high-quality training in IT specialties in the Uzbek language.

Moreover, in case of successful completion of courses on the OMUC platform, graduates of the forum have a chance to win the Udacity Nanodegree grant, which will allow them to take classes on the Udacity platform for free. The Udacity platform is a leading online learning platform focused on IT specializations. Training programs and course content are developed in collaboration with leading IT companies such as Google, Facebook, Amazon, Autodesk, and others. And all this can be achieved without investing absolutely a cent. All you need is to know English or Uzbek and have a desire to develop in the IT field.

The next equally effective and affordable courses are courses for IT Park residents. There are many residents of the IT Park who provide high-quality services in the field of IT education. And one of these residents is the PDP IT Academy. PDP IT Academy is an academy where you can learn such relevant IT specializations as Android development, Python development, frontend, flutter, iOS, and others. All courses are available only in Uzbek, allowing the majority of the population to get into the IT field without having difficulties and language barriers during training.

The main feature of training at PDP IT Academy is that students choose how and at what pace they study. There are two learning modes; the first is the normal mode, in which students learn at a speed and time convenient for them. This mode is suitable for those who study at school or University, or for those who work and want to learn programming at the same time. Training in the normal mode will not affect the work or educational activities because the student himself regulates the time and pace.

The second mode is the intensive training mode. This model includes 8 hours of classes, at least five days a week. With intensive training, you will get more knowledge, tasks, practice, experience, and, most importantly, you will achieve great results.

During training, mentors and course teachers will help students create their portfolio, create a resume, and even find a job. Teachers will be happy to help their students in solving various difficulties, give clear and detailed answers to all questions of interest to students.

Learning to swim in the sea of these opportunities is a must, especially for those who want to become an IT professional and earn a decent amount of money. Do not miss the chance and jump into the water; you will not drown; IT Park will take care of this!
