You don’t need a computer-science degree, an expensive laptop, or flawless English to start a career in IT from Batumi. You need one decision and eight focused weeks.
The people who stall aren’t the ones who lack talent — they’re the ones who try to learn everything at once, alone, with no feedback. Here’s the route that actually works, from zero to your first portfolio project.
What this guide gives you
- Which of three tracks fits you — and how to decide in a single afternoon
- Why in-person learning beats the online courses people abandon
- Exactly what it costs, and what you walk away holding
Step 1. Pick a single track
The most common beginner mistake is trying to learn everything at once. Choose one of three clear paths instead:
- Programming — Python and SQL. A universal foundation for development, automation, and a path into analytics.
- Data analysis — Python, statistics, dashboards. A fit for people who enjoy numbers and patterns.
- AI and Vibe Coding — building content and apps with AI tools, without deep coding.
Step 2. Study in person, and study consistently
Online courses get abandoned for two reasons: no discipline and no feedback. An in-person format in a small group fixes both — you come to a coworking space in central Batumi, ask questions live, and never sit alone stuck on a bug.
A foundational course runs 8 weeks and 32 hours. At one or two sessions a week, it slots comfortably around work or university.
Step 3. Build a portfolio on real projects
From the first weeks you write code that solves real tasks: scripts, small apps, and dashboards on real, messy data. By the end you have two or three projects worth showing in an interview.
Employers care less about a certificate than about what you can actually build.
What it costs
The foundational courses — Python + SQL and Data Analysis — are paid monthly, with no obligation to pay everything up front. That’s noticeably cheaper than private tutoring, and comparable to a couple of months of a gym membership — but with a far more tangible result.
How to start right now
Don’t try to “learn it all on your own first, then sign up.” The fastest way to find out whether this is for you is to show up to a class and try. Pick the track that resonates — and take the first eight weeks seriously.
