I enrolled in the course in June 2022 and immediately wished I’ve done it sooner

I enrolled in the course in June 2022 and immediately wished I’ve done it sooner. You spend 4-6 months in school learning about QA extensively and then you change your life forever. I never thought I’d end up in IT without specific college education, but Portnov Computer School made this dream possible.
The teachers are extremely knowledgable and work closely with their students. The material presented is up to date and covers the basics of different QA avenues. The internship offered at the end of the course is an extensive program that covers all your gaps from the previous classes.
Me and my husband both attended Portnov Computer School and as of today, we are both employed as QA Engineers.
Portnov Computer School is like Santa on Christmas – they make your wishes come true. Thank you, dear School, we will always be grateful to you!

In March 2023, right after Portnov Computer School, I was hired as a QA Engineer. I am very grateful to the school!

I had previous experience in the IT field, some programming skills, graduated coding bootcamp, but wasn’t hired directly as QA. Although I had good combination of in-demand skills it was the projects of the Portonov Computer School that became the final touch in getting the desired position. The structured presentation of the material without haste and leaders who gave right altitudes and directions – this what I was looking for as an advanced student. Also I met a person couple years ago who moved to my state for a new role QA Engineer – this made me sure in my choice.
Wish everyone good luck! Keep learning no matter what!

Everything I have, I owe to Portnov Computer School. I am a second generation Portnov Computer School Alumn.

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!

During the course, I’ve gained practical, hands-on experience in various testing methodologies

For several years, I’ve been contemplating a career switch and whether I should take the QA course at Portnov School, and now I’m glad that I did. During the course, I’ve gained practical, hands-on experience in various testing methodologies such as manual and automated testing that I can apply in real-world scenarios. The program is both rigorous and very comprehensive which made it challenging for me at times, but the rewards are definitely worth it!
The school staff and the instructors are very knowledgeable, patient and dedicated to ensure that their students receive the best possible education. That being said, I’m particularly grateful to Janna Spector and Olga Chekhanovskaya for their experience based insights, support and encouragement during the times of doubt – it made a huge difference. They are truly great instructors! I would like to express my appreciation to Julia for her prompt responses and assistance whenever I had questions. Also, a big thanks to Sofia Pravdina for helping me to find the internship.
Overall, I had a very positive experience with the QA course and I’m excited about the opportunities that lie ahead for me in my new career path.

The School gave me precisely what I was looking for – the necessary knowledge and experience

The School gave me precisely what I was looking for – the necessary knowledge and experience.  I landed an internship within the first week of graduation, and this is only the beginning!
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.

Crucial Decision to Change Career.

Now, when taking a look over my shoulder at February 2022, I realize how crucial the decision to join Portnov Computer School was for the change of my career. Enormous support from the school and its teachers as well as lots of studying and interaction with group mates do not leave a single PCS student behind in the learning process. Throughout the whole course, I always knew that whatever technical or course-related questions I had, I could always get clear and professional responses from the school and our teachers, who are real professionals with many years of experience in QA and IT. I’d like to extend special thanks to Janna, Olga, Mike, Artem, Luiza, Sofia, Yan, and Galina for their patience, professionalism, and support I was receiving during and after the completion of the course. So, now a year has passed by, and I work as a QA engineer, am advancing my test automation skills at PCS’ boot camp, and continue to progress with learning Java, fundamentals of which I learned in our technical classes at PCS. I have and will certainly recommend this school to my friends and those who are ready to work hard to start their careers in QA.

Great teachers and plenty of practice and support during the entire course

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!

Best Investment

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.
