QA EXPRESS (ONLINE)

QA Express

QA Express is a daytime career change program. QA Express takes 16 weeks to complete and involves 3 sessions each week from 10 am until 2 pm.

Imagine learning a new skill from scratch — no matter your current background — and getting a job that has plenty of potential for advancement. That’s QA. It requires no special background and can be done in person or online. In fact, your current background will probably help you be a great QA tester.

While many other jobs are getting outsourced, tech jobs are so much in demand that companies can’t hire fast enough.

Most programming jobs take years of education — but you can become a QA specialist in just a few months. The industry is growing so fast that people are often getting hired right out of our courses at $35+/hour. People who previously worked minimum wage jobs in factories, grocery stores, etc., people for whom English is not their first language, people with zero programming skills or IT background — everybody can become a QA specialist and be ready to ace the interviews (and get a job) after completing our QA course.

Portnov Computer School is known as the pioneer in QA education. It is not only the oldest one in the U.S. (over 26 years) but is the only one backed by the U.S. Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education.

Our graduates have an unheard-of success of 79% placement rate. That’s partly because we take care of our students like no other computer school. Every student goes through an internal internship and then can do one of several external ones (working in real IT companies) to be ready for a good-paying QA job.

The secret to our program’s success is simple: we don’t pack 300 students into each class — every class is limited to 40 students, with 1-on-1 teacher attention to each student. Students learn to work in small groups of 4-5 (just like in a real job), discuss topics in class, and can always privately ask the teacher any questions.

Each student gets 400+ hours of QA education, interview prep, and job training, including:

160 lecture hours of in-classroom education plus over 240+ hours of instructor-led HANDS-ON practical activities and training. This is not memorization or copying what the instructor does but actual practical learning that you remember, that teaches you how to be good at QA. These are the skills employers look and hire for.

Here is how the lesson hours break down:

40 hours of Software QA Fundamentals, including:

  • Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
  • Software Development models: Waterfall; Agile: Scrum, Kanban, Extreme, and other methodologies;
  • Test Documentation; Bug reporting and tracking; JIRA, Confluence

40 hours of Frontend Testing and Information Technologies: Web Technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript); Web Services (REST API); Networking)
24 hours of Backend Testing: UNIX/LINUX OS; SQL & RDBMS
40 hours of Mobile Testing plus 40+ hours of hands-on live project testing activities
40 hours of Test Automation (Selenium WebDriver)

This way, you can work on any device and any part of the tech stack — making you more valuable to employers than hiring separate people for each.
20 instructor-led hours plus 20 hours of practical hands-on activities on Software QA Testing Live Projects. This will be similar to the work employers require. After 26 years in business, we know exactly what most students will encounter in the job.

20 hours of interview preparation: most common interview questions; detailed review and best practices with examples for answering each question. We want our students to get the best jobs available ASAP. That’s why we make sure that you show up to an interview ready and confident.

65 instructor-led hours plus 140 hours of practical hands-on structured activities in the internal Internship/Bootcamp that every student completes after the main course to get a good feel for how QA works in the real world and be ready for doing QA in their job once hired by an employer.

15+ hours of the job market and latest industry trends review and analysis, knowledge & skills evaluations. Because we want our graduates to be ready for the best QA jobs both today and into the future.

Portnov students always get the best support, including:

  • Unlimited hours of personalized Job Interview Coaching: Mock Interviews for graduates so they are ready for any question a hiring manager throws at them.
  • Unlimited hours of Navigating Job Market Services: Job search webinars; placement assistance; resume preparation; etc. You are never alone in your job search. The reason we have such a high job placement success percentage over 26 years is that we are like a big family: taking personal care of each student while also making sure that you learn the newest QA testing instruments available on the market. The goal is for you to get a well-paying QA job no matter your previous background. And no other school has the expertise and learning environment that’s so perfect for getting you the skills you need to get that QA job.

    You are in the right place! Portnov Computer School is the best institute in the Bay area if you are looking for a job as a QA Engineer, with/without prior experience. Their curriculum is well structured. After the course is completed, an internship is provided where you can put your new skills to practice and gain experience by working in a team of professionals. Portnov teachers and the entire staff is very professional, knowledgeable, helpful and cooperative. They not only teach you how to be a good tester, but also prepare you well for an interview and gives you a lot of inspiration and self-confidence to crack the interview. I am extremely grateful to them for their efforts, teaching and patience. I thank Portnov Computer School and wish them success and prosperity!

    Portnov Computer School is the Best Computer School in US! If you would like to change your career to an IT-related one, or gain new IT- knowledge to get a dream job in the IT market with a high-level salary I would like to recommend you Portnov Computer School. My experience with the school as a SQA student has been a very educating journey and I am grateful to Mikhail Portnov who was making this possible. The quality of lectures and lessons is top-notch. Portnov Computer school has very well structured and thought out courses, with their instructors being professional at their craft, they are eager to teach and are eager to help students understand the subject, as well as prepare you for your upcoming interviews in the IT industry. My special appreciation goes to Sofia Pravdina who helped me with an internship, as well as greatly sped up the background check process with the company that I am working at now. Joining the Portnov Computer school is the greatest investment you can make!
  3. Max LJune, 2023

    Joining Portnov Computer School in June 2022 has been an incredible journey that I am truly grateful for. The teachers at the school were exceptional, providing excellent instruction and creating a supportive learning environment. The classes struck a perfect balance between theory and hands-on practice, equipping me with a solid foundation in QA. The internship program offered by Portnov Computer School was a standout experience. It provided invaluable practical training, allowing me to apply my knowledge and gain real-world experience. Thanks to the internship, I was able to secure a job in the QA industry within a couple of months. I highly recommend Portnov Computer School to anyone looking for a transformative learning experience and a fast track to a successful career in QA. The quality of education, dedicated teachers, and impactful internship program make it a top choice for aspiring professionals.

    My father became certified here a long time ago when we came to the United States from Russia, and has been working in the field for more than a decade. I too have followed in his footsteps. I started my journey in June of 2022 and have completed a very comprehensive course, as well as an internship with the school. The covers all the bases, which included understanding test methodologies, creating test cases, using web technologies for testing, API, command line, database verification, introduction to automated test scripts, mobile app testing and most importantly: the course offers a look into a real software development environment, with necessary resources to make you job market-ready. I have completed the course and have started working at a company in the medical/biotech field called Lighthouse Worldwide Solutions and have been there since February of 2023. I believe that PCS offers the most insight to become a certified Software QA and your success story may just start here too, same as it did for my father and same as it did for me!
  5. Sofia K.June, 2023

    The Course covered so many subjects – from Manual to Automation and was the best overall study material I could find online – I tried Udemy and LinkedIn before and was just confused and overwhelmed. The School provided a comprehensive structure and real teachers who currently work in the field and went through what I am going through – having a live tutor so that I can ask questions and hear their first-hand experience is simply priceless. The best part is that they also teach you how to pass the interview itself – there are so many parts to getting a job in the field that you are exploring, and a lot of times we don’t concentrate on that part – the School knew that we would need guidance and was happy to provide it to us.
  6. AlinaJune, 2023

    I recently completed the QA course at Portnov Computer School and I have to say it was an excellent experience. Before I started the program, I didn’t have any knowledge about software testing and IT in general. However, the program was so well structured, the curriculum was well designed and comprehensive, and all the instructors were very knowledgeable and experienced. I want to thank all my teachers and office administrators, who helped me, supported my path and motivated me. Special thanks to Janna Spektor and to Sofia Pravdina who helped tremendously with my job search. I would highly recommend QA School to anyone looking to break into the field of software testing. The program is top-notch and as I said the instructors are fantastic. I am grateful for the skills and knowledge I gained through this program and I am excited to start my new career in QA. Thanks to QA School, I was able to land a job as a software tester shortly after completing the program. It was a truly life-changing experience for me.
  7. Lusine HarutyunyanMarch, 2023

    The whole career path was very very interesting. I didn't expect to get so much knowledge and information from the course. Each penny that you pay is worth. Each teacher/lecturer makes so much efforts to transfer their experience to the students. Yan, Artem, Anna, Michael, all of them has value on my learning process. I will recommend the school to any of my friend. Forever grateful .
  8. SaidDecember, 2022

    Choosing Portnov Computer School was easily one of the best decisions I made in my life; no other investment of my time and effort paid off as quickly and as obviously as the few months it took me to complete the Full Time program. The school helped me through every step of the way, solved all of my problems, gave answers to all of my questions; I personally know dozens of Portnov graduates who can say the same. I want to extend my gratitude personally to Sofia, Janna, Olga, Galina, and everybody else who helped me along the way; and, of course, special thanks to Michael Portnov himself for everything he's done for me and others like me. If you want to become a working QA professional within months, the school is by far the best choice you have, I will never miss the chance to mention the school in any remotely relevant conversation about the software industry and recommend it to everybody I can.
  9. AnaDecember, 2022

    I wanted to thank Portnov Computer School for providing all the necessary information and resources to get my first job in the IT industry. Great teachers and plenty of practice and support during the entire course. I specially wanted to mention the internal internship with Sofia - which was an amazing opportunity to experience the day-to-day tasks of a professional QA Engineer and prepare for the interview - as a result I got a job 2 weeks after graduation! Janna, Olga, Artem, Sofia and Michael - the effect you had on my life is mind-blowing and I can be more grateful. Thanks again!
  10. AlisaNovember, 2022

    I was feeling stagnant in my life and previous career path, so I decided to give Portnov Computer School a go after an acquaintance recommended it to me as a good program. As someone who came in with zero knowledge of coding and software testing, I never dreamed I would be able to get into the tech industry that fast. After just seven months learning persistently and following all the steps that the instructors laid out for us, I landed my first job as a Quality Assurance Engineer. Portnov Computer School was there for me from start to finish and I would most definitely recommend this program to anyone looking to make a change or improve their quality of life. These guys are the real deal!
  11. PrajithaOctober, 2022

    I was looking to find a job in Testing/ Automation Testing, and one of my friends recommended me to join Portnov Computer school which turned out to be one of the best decisions taken by me. Thank you, Portnov, for preparing/teaching me with really high-quality job market-oriented skills. Big thanks to Janna, Olga, Sofia, Luiza, Marina and all the school members. The school was very easy to reach out, and I always knew that if I have issues or questions, I can always call and they would help me. The most important highlight of Portnov School is that, if you have will, even if you have no knowledge of Software/Testing basics the staff members of the school would prepare and guide you well enough to compete in the job market.
  12. DepaliOctober, 2022

    I don’t have enough words about how helpful the teachers are and they teach so well. Just your hard work and lessons from this school will lead you to your dream job. Go for it!
  13. JulianaOctober, 2022

    Portnov school is a great place to start your career path! As a student, you’ll learn extremely useful tools and how to apply them to your projects and future jobs. The program provides you with real working tasks and navigates you on almost every step! The teachers are very supportive and knowledgeable! You always have a way to solve any questions even outside of your class by contacting them through text, email, or phone. I was able to find a real job right after I graduated from Portnov school! If anyone will ever ask me how I become so successful that is because I start at a well-known school where people care about their graduates. I wish good luck to everyone on their way to their dreams!
  14. Kyrylo M.October, 2022

  16. SakuntalaOctober, 2022

    I wanted to restart my career after 18 years and wanted to have good quality training which will boost my confidence. I joined Portnov Computer School and I got whatever I expected. Teachers were so good and were boosting my confidence. I am thankful to all teachers Ms. Rachael, Ms. Janna, Ms. Anna, Ms. Olga and Ms. Sofia who mentored me. I truly recommend Portnov Computer School and If you need a career change / restart a career in SQA, you can definitely rely on Portnov. It is the best!!! I am thankful to Ms. Sofia who helped me above and beyond for arranging interviews. With hard work and Portnov’s help, you can easily land in your dream career.
  17. VladimirJuly, 2022

    The school gave a clear idea of the profession of a tester and a wide range of tools used in manual and automated testing. Well-organized training system, interesting speakers, a large amount of practice. Quick help with administrative issues and support in the employment process. Ideal for entering, understanding and further development in testing. It doesn't give false hope.
  18. AnastasiaJune, 2022

    I highly recommend Portnov Computer School for people who is ready to study hard to achieve your goals. Be ready for a very intensive course, but you will be rewarded. I took the full-time classes and I happy with the results that I’ve achieved. I got my first offer while I was still attending the internal internship!
  19. SabiJune, 2022

    Amazing and friendly instructors, very well designed course, course material was straightforward and informative. Very professional staff and the facility is very clean. Rate of gating a job after completion is very very high! I would highly recommend this be the place you attend for any available training.
  20. IrinaJune, 2022

    This is the best school in the United States! Here you will be given everything you need to find your first job. You will always have feedback from teachers on any questions. Thank you all very much, especially Janna!
  21. FuadJune, 2022

    I am an alumnus from 2019.When I graduated Covid started and the market was down. In that time I decided to move far from QA for a while. Then after 2 years 2022, I went back, passed clearance, received my resume, and got an offer during the month. I want to thank Mikhail Portnov and his team; all of my teachers Janna and Olga, especially .Thanks to all of the school workers Sofia Pravdina especially , even after 2 years, they supported me as a new alumni. I recommend this school who wants to change his career.
  22. BernaliMay, 2022

    I joined PCS, unsure about the move at first, but willing to work hard and take a leap of faith. The teachers, Janna, Olga, Sofia, Michael and Artem, have solid knowledge of their subjects and have a tab on the industry as well. You will likely be helped by Sofia Pravdina who looks out for you once you start applying. The internship, offered at the end of the class, will give you sound experience that makes the transition to the real job a bit more manageable, in my humble opinion. It really came to believing in yourself, the teachers, the school and the rest of course is luck. Do your best!
  23. DeepikaMay, 2022

    I joined Portnov Computer School in Jan-2020 and my courses ended in April -2020. Due to some personal problems, I was not able to give interviews for the internship. I connected this year with Sofia, to see if she could help me with an internship. She didn't ask me a single question about why I am connecting after two years. She was able to schedule an interview for me for a startup as a 3 month internship. I completed my internship and the company has now hired me. Thank you so much Sofia, Olga, Janna etc for all your help!
  24. RussMay, 2022

    I was referred to this school by my friend and it changed my life. Portnov school taught me everything needed to land my first job in IT field within FIRST week, and now I literally get paid twice more then I used to. I'm so thankful to Portnov and teachers that gave me this life-changing opportunity.
  25. EvgeniyaApril, 2022

    QA course in Portnov computer school was my dream about 5 years. I'm so happy to be a student of the QA Express at the moment. I would like to say THANK YOU all our teachers for the great job, modern information and interesting classes. Thank you for immediately feedback from teachers.
  26. BisratApril, 2022

    The only thing I regret about Portnov Computer School is that I did not join them much earlier! I knew about that school for years before I joined them. My experience with Portnov Computer School has been very positive and well paid. Their QA is well designed with exposure to the latest technologies and tools. Their curriculums have many opportunities to practice testing in hand with real applications, updated and most popular tools in the market including numerous popular interview questions. Their teachers are very knowledgeable and outstanding in the QA (manually & automation), API, Database, basic coding Knowledge (Html, CSS &JavaScript) and mobile testing in Android and IOs. The school genuinely cares about their students and treats you like family. They really focus on equipping the students with the right knowledge and preparing them for job interviews to succeed in their dreams. I would like to thank all the staff especially Janna, Sofia, Olgac and Anya etc….for their dedication and love. I was doing it before and happy to do it again and again . Anyone to start or pursue his career in QA. I recommend that Portnov Computer School is the best place for you don’t hesitate. I guarantee you will not regret it !
  27. OksanaApril, 2022

    My admission to Mikhail Portnov's school was not an accidental or sudden decision. I found out about the existence of these courses on Mikhail's YouTube channel a few years before I moved to the United States. On his advice, I took several basic courses on programming in Java while still in Ukraine, which of course then helped me a lot in training and with finding a job. The process of studying on campus, along with internship and Job market clearance, took a total of 7 months + time to find a job. In my case, due to a delay in obtaining immigration documents (EAD), the job search took 5 months. It may not have been a quick process, but it was certainly worth the time and effort. At the end of March this year, I received a job offer (remote/full time) at one of the IT companies in San Francisco. This is my first, small victory, and perhaps it would not have happened if it were not for the school of Mikhail Portnov. I am very grateful to my kind teachers – Janna Spector, Michael Sokolov, Sofia Gerasymenko, Galina Lagunova and Olga Chekhanovskaya for their high professionalism and honest work. Special thanks to Janna for her kind, one might say motherly care for us, her kind heart and concern for us. I would also like to thank Sofia Pravdina, Anna, Irina for their always timely assistance in organizational issues that needed to be solved in the learning process. Portnov Computer School certainly gives the necessary basis of knowledge (SQA, SQL, Unix, API, mobile, automation testing), skills as well as practical experience (several web/mobile projects) that is necessary to start your career in QA. If the profession of QA Engineer is what you would like to do in your life, and you are ready on your part also make some effort, time, patience and perseverance, then you have a very high chance of success. Portnov's school is the best choice in my opinion to implement it. Many thanks to Mikhail for his great work, chance, and opportunities that he gives to people!
  28. Indira NagarajanMarch, 2022

    Invest time at Portnov School and it is fruitful.. Portnov school was referred to me by a friend recently. I have a 10 year career break and wanted to try Portnov to re-enter my career. The testing course curriculum has been molded in such a way that all the subjects are covered to be a successful QA Engineer. I truly appreciate the efforts of all the teachers - Miss Janna, Miss Olga, Sofia, Artem and Michael Sokolov.All the teachers are very patient , listen to the students input and clarify any questions. Miss Janna was the main instructor for our course and I would always reach out to her for any problems or solutions and she has always been there to guide me in the right path. This school groomed me that immediately after the course , I gave 2 interviews and I got offers from both of them. I would highly recommend this school.
  29. Alexander U.March, 2022

    If you are looking for the career change you are in the right place! Before the school I was doing completely different thing, but then I started to think what to do next and by browsing youtube I found Michael's channel (School Founder) and I just found out that become a QA would be a great start because I'm getting paid and continuing to improve myself and continue to grow. School will give you all you need to get your first job and get the ball rolling. After graduation continue to go to the job interviews, someone needs to pass 1, someone 5, someone 10-15-30.. etc so don't lose your faith, you will get the job!
  30. Misael SanchezFebruary, 2022

    Five stars!!! Industry leaders and Instructors. Thank you for the great experience. All the tools for success are giving to you at this school.
  31. AngelaJanuary, 2022

    Portnov Computer School changed my life! I got a job immediately after graduating from the school. I do not have background in the tech industry. My job offer is 2x more than what I used to be making. I am really grateful that my friend told me about this school. You won't regret going here.
  32. NilaDecember, 2021

    I am happy that I took a course in Portnov. All the instructions are experienced and friendly enough to clarify all your doubts. The structure of their curriculum is always focused/based on market needs from a QA person so that it will help each student to shine in their employment. Their support even after your course is fantastic; it even made my husband raise his eyebrow in a good way. This is something that hard to see in this fast-moving world. I appreciate all the help they are providing to all the students. My special thanks to all the good souls out there and working hard to shape every student in the school.
  33. AliNovember, 2021

    My many thanks to everyone at the Portnov Computer School who took me as an inexperienced, never trained on computer person and helped me flourish and find a job in QA. My success is your success. With the right guidance, Portnov School proved me that everything is possible with hard work. A friendly suggestion to everyone "Please do everything the instructors say and work hard".
  34. AselOctober, 2021

    They were intense, well designed and I had an opportunity to have hands on experience to practice everything I learned. Every member of the school is there for you throughout your learning journey; they treat you like a family; they are so patient and willing to repeat as many time as needed and explain it until you understand. I really want to express my gratitude to Director of Operations Sofia Pravdina, her support and advice was very valuable to me. Also, I wanted to thank Galina Lagunova, for her amazing teaching approach; she always makes sure that you understood everything and will go over everything in a very detailed way if not. She always there for you if you need help, sometimes even late nights. Her materials and classes are organized, clear and straight to the point. I’m still using a lot of her cheat sheets. I truly appreciate all your hard work; you are great teacher and mentor. Overall, Portnov is the right place if you wanna change your life and you don’t know where to start. They will give and push you in a right direction!
  35. Vlad V.October, 2021

    This school is a wonderful resource to facilitate IT-related career change. I found myself an excellent position within 6 months of my first class. However, expect to do a lot of work and selfeducation- success does not come for free!
  36. NirupamaOctober, 2021

    I am so grateful to all of you for helping me enter my first step in my career. I am totally happy for the decision I made to join Portnov school. I received proper guidance and support for getting my internship and a job now! I was so confident in the interview because of the training I received! The resources available on the school website was so useful to prepare. Over all, Portnov school was the main reason for the bright turning point of my career!
  37. Elena S.September, 2021

  38. Aleksei S.September, 2021

    The only thing I regret about studying in Portnov Computer School is that I did not join them much earlier! I knew about that school for years but I always thought that QA is not for me. I did not have a lot of IT experience and, thus, I was sure that QA would be very difficult for me. Don’t get me wrong, QA is challenging and you have to study really hard. But the Portnov Computer School provides you with everything you need to get your first job. Instructors of the school (yes, for me they were not teachers, but friendly instructors) did an amazing job providing us with clear explanations, nice communication and a lot of positive emotions. And the most important part for me is that instructors of the Portnov Computer School recommended me to a company which eventually became my employer. My first job is a little bit more difficult than I expected it to be, but I’m really happy to work there and I’m incredibly grateful to the Portnov Computer School for the opportunity they gave me. I’m especially grateful to Janna Spector and Sofia Pravdina. If you are thinking about changing your life for the better in a short period of time and you are ready to invest time in your education, then the Portnov Computer School is definitely an option for you!
  39. Viktoryia I.August, 2021

    Studying at this school opened the doors to a new world for me, they led me to all the necessary rooms. You will absolutely not regret the money invested. Don’t look for cheaper, this is what you need. And finally, you will get a great internship with practice in automation. And teach, complete assignments, listen. Ask, you will always be answered in a friendly way. Big Thank You to Sofia, Olga, Zhanna, Hannah.
  40. Sofiia N.August, 2021

    Thank you, Sofia, and Portnov Computer School! Greatest teachers, greatest knowledge, and absolute support. I wasn’t believing in myself as much as every teacher believed in me. I am forever grateful :сердце:
  41. LorraineJuly, 2021

    When you want to learn and excel you should do it from the BEST and the best is PORTNOV .Living a few blocks away from the school I would everyday take a walk down the street near Portnov not aware of what it was all about, when one day my son ran towards the school and me after him, thats when I happen to just casually ask a student what they were learning there and I was told a lot of interesting things. And finally when I decided to restart my career I knew where I had to go .. Portnov it was ! In 2019 I joined the evening classes nd within no time of completion of my course I had an internship offer in hand with one of the best company in the Bay Area. And ever since than theres no looking back , Im glad I took that leap of faith and decided to change my career . Something totally different than what I doing in my previous jobs. Portnov helped me change my career and most importantly made me realize what I was meant to be doing . The teachers here are fantastic .I have to mention teacher Janna , she is one of the best teachers I have come across so far. Very patient and approachable. Her way of teaching is fantastic! Also, each student gets personal attention and hands-on training with the right guidance . They are bang on with the latest technology and polish you well for interviews. You can expect a plethora of opportunities coming your way for you to grab on .Besides that , the door of the school is always open for all the students and ex-students. A very very special mention- Sofia who is one of the strongest pillar of the school goes out of the way to make sure that every student has a job . She’s so very supportive throughout your journey right from the moment you enroll in school till you are independent and established in your field and beyond. My experience has been wonderful with this school and everyone here. So, it’s a promise of great experiences with an excellent faculty team and administration. While you are here, build networks, take chances and compete with yourself , push yourself higher and you will be rewarded with the Best!! I highly highly recommend this school to everyone who wish to make a great career.

    Deciding to change a career and start a path in a completely new industry was one of the hardest decisions that I made and to say that I was not skeptical at first would be a lie. Like anyone who has been working in a different profession and jumping into a new path, I had so many doubts, so many questions, would I understand it? Would I ever be successful? Would I get a job? … a lot of questions. Looking back now, the decision to change a career and the fact that I chose Portnov Computer School for that is one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. This school has changed my family’s life to the better. My sister studied here 5 years ago, and she is currently a senior QA engineer in a big company in the Bay area. Up to date curriculum, flexible schedule, incredibly supportive and talented teachers, information on current market trends, guidance and follow up until you land a job is only a few of the reasons why I feel so strongly about this school. Every single one of the teachers here are skilled and know their stuff incredibly very well. I would like to thank Janna, Olga, Tanya and Sofia for supporting me through this Journey. Special thanks to Sofia Pravdina who makes wonders in matching everyone with an internship either internal or external. The school’s good relationship with a lot of companies in the Bay area and across the country is also an asset. The external internship position that I just landed on is a great example for that. I am beyond grateful for what I have got from Portnov .

    If you want to start a career in the IT field, Portnov Computer School is the place to go for training. The SQA course at Portnov has been a life-changing experience. I got a job right after my internship! All of the classes are designed to give you the best understanding of SQL, SQA, Unix/Linux, API, Automation, Mobile testing, and more. Like nowhere else, teachers care about students and they are very supportive. My basic knowledge and technical skills improved greatly. The school prepared my resume and provided excellent counseling on how to answer interview questions and ways to project myself in the job market. Great school, great internship opportunities, and great instructors (Janna, Olya, Sofia, Tanya, Hanna, Galina, Anna). It is always a pleasure to hear Irina’s voice when I call the school. A special thanks goes to Sofia Pravdina. She is an amazing, helpful and encouraging person. Another special thanks to Luiza, the director of the school, for support and guidance. I would definitely recommend Portnov Computer School to anyone looking to jump-start their career
