Lifelong Support from Portnov — Even After 6 Years at Google

Portnov Computer School has been an incredible support system for me, even years after I completed my training. What truly stands out about Portnov is that they are always ready to help their former students, no matter how long it has been since you were last in touch.

After being laid off from Google, where I worked for 6 years, I applied to more than 1,000 positions without even getting a first-round call. But the moment I reached out to Portnov, they immediately stepped in—forwarding my resume to their connections and introducing me to companies. Thanks to their support, I quickly landed my first interview with Novami, passed two rounds, and am now excited to be starting my new job.

I am deeply grateful to Lisa and Sofia for constantly staying in touch and going above and beyond to help me in this very tough job market. Their dedication, encouragement, and networking truly make Portnov unique, and I highly recommend the school to anyone looking to build or restart their QA career.

From Beginner to QA Engineer — My Journey with Portnov Computer School

I graduated from Portnov Computer School in October 2024, and now I’d like to share a few thoughts about the school. I didn’t have any IT background—just basic experience as a home computer user. Given the current job market conditions, I had many questions and concerns about whether joining the school was the right decision.

I attended a free introductory class and was pleasantly surprised by the instructor’s teaching style and the amount of valuable material covered in just one session.

Fast forward five months… I had an incredible experience at Portnov Computer School. This school is truly a gem for anyone looking to start a career in QA (Quality Assurance) or transition into the tech industry—even without any prior IT experience.

The curriculum is well-structured, practical, and regularly updated to reflect current industry standards. The instructors are not only knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in each student’s success. They explain complex topics in a clear, accessible way and offer continuous support throughout the course.

At the end of the program, the school helped me with my resume and interview preparation, which made a big difference.

What really sets Portnov apart is the strong focus on real-world projects and hands-on experience. By the time I completed the program, I felt confident using tools like Selenium, Postman, JIRA, and more. The internship placement support was a game-changer—they helped me secure a real QA internship.

It took me almost three months to land a full-time job as a QA engineer. I was nervous and sometimes frustrated during that time, but I’m very grateful to the school staff for always being there with support and additional guidance whenever I reached out.

Two months into my job, I returned to the school to take their Automation course. As a graduate of the Manual QA program, I received a generous discount. The course isn’t easy—it requires time, attention, and practice—but the school provides recordings of every session, which really helps.

Now, I’m helping my QA team build an automation framework—something I couldn’t have imagined doing just a year ago.

Last month, my wife joined the school as well, thanks to the family and friends discount. She has lots of questions for me and the instructors, and my advice to her is always the same: “Stick with the program and learn as much as you can.”

If you’re motivated and ready to put in the work, Portnov Computer School can absolutely change your career path. I’m now working in tech and couldn’t be more grateful.

I highly recommend this school to anyone serious about getting into QA or software testing.

It’s a one-of-a-kind place.

In one or two sessions you go from zero to having pretty advanced understanding of a technical skill or tool, that would take you weeks or months to learn on your own; in most cases you wouldn’t even know where to start. It’s an easy-going place, but it gives you everything you need and more. Basically if you do your work and attend the sessions you will fly through most QA interviews. Furthermore, the things you learn open doors to expand your skills in all sorts of directions, and for this Portnov offers advanced classes with some unbelievably high level pros. It’s been pretty life-changing, honestly.

An Outstanding QA Automation and Flex Course Experience

Thank you so much! The QA Automation course was absolutely fantastic. It provided a wealth of crucial information, all perfectly structured for optimal learning. Every moment felt productive and engaging. I also completed the QA Flex course, which was equally outstanding. Together, these courses offered a comprehensive foundation in QA practices. And I must say, Ozzy is an exceptional teacher—his expertise and professionalism shine through in every lesson. I couldn’t have asked for a better learning experience!

Portnov Computer School: A Perfect Start to a Career in IT

Portnov Computer School has given me a great start in my new career.

The most important thing is to stay motivated and persistent. If you keep going, you’ll get the best out of what the school has to offer.

I am very grateful to the teachers for the knowledge they gave me and for their constant support. They didn’t just teach me important skills but also showed me how important it is to never give up, even when things get hard. Their advice has been really valuable to me, and I’m sure it will help me throughout my career.

Portnov School Transformed My Career in QA and IT

I graduated Portnov in autumn of 2022 and had an absolutely life changing experience. The staff has taught me so many things about Software Testing and made it very digestible for someone like me who did not have any background knowledge in IT. When I finished the QA Express course I started the internal internship and worked really hard to become knowledgeable on all the concepts. I learned everything from the basics of networking, database manipulation, writing automated test scripts using Selenium and JavaScript, as well as the building blocks for web development.

After the internal internship the school helped me a lot with finding a paid internship in a real company, which I successfully got the offer for with all the interview training that the school provided. I worked at that company for a year and recently got a position at a very big and well known IT company, which I will be starting very soon.

I have met a lot of lifelong friends thanks to PCS and it helped me get a start to a career in QA. I am so grateful to the staff and to the people who are regularly there for all their great efforts and I cannot express enough how awesome my experience was !!!!!
