How will you benefit?

  • You will know Linux like no one else. 
  • You will be able to debug and trace anything you need. 
  • You will have a huge playground in which to put your skills to use. 
  • You will be needed. Always. Even AI won’t replace your role.

  • Fast learners;

Tomas Ramonas

Production Support Engineer

Meet Tomas, the undisputed master of turning learning into a game—literally. When not immersed in the fantastical realms of Baldur's Gate 3 or strategizing in World of Tanks, you can find them escaping from the chaos of Tarkov or dealing out the most hilariously inappropriate cards in Cards Against Humanity. This walking, talking encyclopedia with a joystick has a knack for making complex situations as clear as a character in 8-bit graphics. They're like the Dumbledore of explanations, minus the long white beard (unless it's a gaming avatar customization option). A self-proclaimed pun enthusiast, Tomas may not always catch every pun, but when they do, expect a laughter eruption that could rival a boss fight. With honesty as their superpower, they're the friend you need when you want the unfiltered truth—whether you're asking for it or not. Need help? Tomas is your go-to problem-solving sidekick, armed with a keyboard and a readiness to assist. Just don't challenge them to a game unless you're prepared to lose—both in the virtual world and in the realm of dad jokes.

Testimonials

We have different testimonials

The Maintenance course program was varied and extensive — I learned a lot of new things, some of which I had only heard about before, and during my training, I got the chance to experience them firsthand. The course was really interesting and covered a wide range of topics.

FAQ

What is Maintenance?

Imagine a building. Our building has all those shiny windows, oak doors, and a fancy weathervane on top of the roof: these are our websites, games and shops. The rooms inside the building are our internal services, but the basement (with all the water pipes, fuse box and supplies) – that is the maintenance. Every building up top run because of the basement. We provide the very core software and hardware solutions for the company. 

Can I apply if I'm not based in Vilnius, Nicosia, or Belgrade?

Unfortunately, no. We will be able to offer paid internships only to successful graduates who can legally be employed in one of those three locations.   

Is the course in English? Can I apply if I'm not fluent in English?

Yes, the course will be held in English. Please make sure your level of English is sufficient to understand the course material and complete practical tasks. 

How many hours do I need to spend studying the materials during the course?

It depends, but we expect you to spend at least 8 hours a week reviewing the tutorials and completing the practical tasks. 

Will I get a certificate after finishing the course?

A course completion certificate will be issued to you if you complete the course and successfully pass the final test. 

What do I need to do to get an internship offer?

You will need to demonstrate the ability to learn quickly, receive a high grade for your final test, and show your passion throughout the course. You should also be legally eligible to be employed in one of the countries mentioned above (i.e., Lithuania, Cyprus, or Serbia).
