Cindy:
I have been a QA engineer for over 10 years. I have experience testing manual and some automation. I needed to upgrade my skills with updated practices and industry standard tools.
I found Portnov online and went to the school. I met with Sofia. She and I discussed what I needed to bring my skills to a more marketable level. The classes I took were exactly what I needed! The school offered instructors who are working in the software development industry as QA managers. These are instructors who are recognized as industry gurus. My instructors were able to give me new best practices and upgraded tools that I was able to parlay into a well paying position.
Stan:
I personally wasn't the brightest student and intern, but still was able to get what I needed from them -- professional knowledge, practical advices, internship experience, as well as useful tips for the job search. Now I work full time at a great company, and I'm sure that this is substantially thanks to Portnov school.
Masha:
I am one of the folks who graduated from the Portnov School back in 1996. These were not the easiest times to find jobs in the IT field, and I was no where near my twenties. However with the invaluable job-related skills I acquired through Portnov School and through the school's job placement program, I was able to relatively quickly find a job in the Bay Area.
I have heard about this school from my friends when I was living in San Diego. The school's reputation motivated me to enroll in the program despite its distant location away from my family. Looking back, I believe that was one of the smartest choices I've made. Misha Portnov, the school, and its staff became my second family. They provided me with knowledge, support, encouragement, and 24 hours a day unlimited access to their computer lab equipment.
Since those days I consistently maintain contact with the school. On several occasions I have turned to Misha Portnov for advice in making a challenging career decision, and every single time he has been there to help me. Now once more I am at the cross roads in my life on my way to visit the Portnov School and Misha and I know he will not refuse to help.
