I paid for one year, now after 2 months I can say it is not worth it. They make the questions like that on purpose so you would buy the monthly / yearly subscription. Doing the python course and it is mainly just randomly organized theory that has no proper connection to each other. Theory doesn't even cover for everything you get asked, so you still need to google. Projects on the other hand are even more annoying. You start doing it, then it throws you to theory you need to know, which is good, but that part you cannot finish as you do not have knowledge of the previous ones. I did basic university coding course and it was so much better. More practical use cases, not just all theory. Organize it better, give projects a meaning to theory. Go with mastery learning method not randomly jumping. Projects are horrible, they say basic stuff but wants you to learn state-machines as second project without explaining what those are or even give enough theory to cover it. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE.

I have no objections regarding the training content, but I strongly dislike the company’s policy on granting licenses for their products. Among the incentives for purchasing a Premium subscription is the promise of licenses for JetBrains products. In practice, it works like this: after completing a few tasks, you receive a code that you can use to purchase the All Product Pack. However, this purchase is only for one month, with auto-renewal enabled by default. If you don’t notice this and don’t disable the auto-renewal, your account will be charged after a month. As you can see, it’s not enough for the company that you’ve bought a Premium subscription on Hyperskill — they look for other ways to get more money out of your pocket. I am currently in a situation where I requested a refund for the subscription, but it was denied, even though I submitted the request the day after my account was charged and I hadn’t used the product during that time. I do not recommend working with this company — their mentality is clear to see. A very underhanded move.

If I knew I would get blocked after getting questions wrong five times, I'd never try it. So I blacklist it and won't open it anymore.

1. 50 bucks it's too expensive for this tool 2. When you complete a project or any stage of the project, you are not given a reference solution, so you are forced to write bad code 3. Expensive!

It is just stealing money, it is not a scum but they do not teach you anything, you have to learn all by yourself, They provide you a documentation in a regular manner. You are reading docs and trying to solve project stages, there are no main solution for project stages, they provide only other users solutions if you pass that stage. I ve just bought it for my perfectionism. All kotlin subjects available as a doc here, that is why I ve bought. It is definitely not worth to give 50 dollars, i still can't believe it is that much expensive.

Hyperskill is extremely expensive and it's not worth it overall. They don't necessarily provide anything unique. Things take too long to load and it's not very beginner friendly.

I kept having to google answers because there was not enough help in the materials. I would get stuck on a topic and there was no way to move forward. While searching other resources, I found better explanations and just started using other sites.
