CodeAcademy

What CodeAcademy does

CodeAcademy is a privately held Lithuanian IT education academy founded in August 2016 in Vilnius and operated as UAB CodeAcademy (also referenced as UAB Programuok). It delivers programming, data, cyber security, DevOps, UX/UI, and digital marketing training through four interlocking formats: short IT courses (2–9 months, 160–1,060 learning hours), Advanced Studies for career changers (6–8 months), corporate training programs (Verslui), and 100% online international bachelor degree programs delivered in partnership with European universities including Amsterdam Tech (Netherlands), SSBM Geneva (Switzerland), Digital College and aivancity (France), and ENAE Business School (Spain). A dedicated Career Center provides CV, LinkedIn/GitHub optimization, and job placement support, while a separate CodeAcademy Kids sub-brand serves school-age learners.

The platform is built around a learning management system with virtual classroom delivery (Microsoft Teams for live sessions), a Qwasar experiential IDE for bachelor students, and AI-integrated course content covering generative AI tools (ChatGPT, Gemini, Midjourney, Canva AI, GitHub Copilot), business automation platforms (Zapier, Make.com, n8n, UiPath, Power Automate), and predictive analytics with Python/scikit-learn. The academy holds a formal vocational training license from the Lithuanian Minister of Education (January 2018), ISO 14001 environmental certification, and a Guinness World Record for the largest programming lesson (September 2016).

CodeAcademy operates a hybrid B2C/B2B revenue model. Individual learners pay €89/month subscriptions or €500–€5,000+ per course; bachelor degree students pay €199/month or €11,000 one-time; 112 corporate clients have used business training programs; and recruitment services monetize a database of 8,500 mid/senior IT specialists and 200 freelancers. Pricing is augmented by flexible installment plans, a pay-after-employment option at 10% of net income, and 100% government funding via the Lithuanian Employment Service (Užtarnumo Tarnyba). Distribution combines a self-serve website, direct enterprise field sales, university partner channels, and an employer network. The company is closely held by co-founders Andrius Laška and Jonas Žilys alongside CEO Edvinas Šumskas, with no disclosed external funding.
