There is no other tech-ed organization in Bulgaria like Telerik Academy. These are not only my words. I know a lot of expats who came back to Bulgaria and people who quit their jobs or put their university studies on hold to be able to fully dedicate themselves to the Academy.

How is a Sprint different from an Upskill?

Sprints are 2-week, hands-on programs where industry leaders share practical, ready-to-use knowledge that's immediately applicable at work. Upskills, on the other hand, provide a comprehensive, 3-month journey to bridging skill gaps in a specific domain, helping you advance to the next career level.
