Internship

The Portnov Computer School has established Software Testing/QA internship programs with tens of software companies, located throughout the Silicon Valley, and the list keeps growing.

Participation in the internship program is very important in building  marketability of our graduates. Working as interns our graduates gain confidence and real work experience. About 20-25% of internships result in job offers extended by the companies where you work as an intern.

Since many students are working full time supporting themselves their ability to participate in full-time internships is very limited or non-existent. To accommodate needs of graduates who cannot commit to full-time internship we have ongoing remote internships. The school operates as a testing site for several real life offshore development projects. That internship is available to each student in a good standing. Participation in remote testing internship does not impair student eligibility for our regular internship program.

The Intern positions could be budgeted or not. The term of an internship varies from one month to three month based on particular assignment.

To qualify for internship at least two classes should be taken and successfully completed. Out of two classes Software Quality Assurance class is required. Second class should be taken in Test Automation, Technology, or UNIX.

Based on your professional background and education School counselor will suggest you which classes to take in order to get benefited most from the internship.
