Got an offer during the month

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 joined PCS, unsure about the move at first, but willing to work hard and take a leap of faith

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!

You are the best

First, I want to say thank you to all the teachers of Portnov School. You are the best! A lot of my friends graduated from this school and got a job at top companies. Being a full time Mom with 3 kids I was a bit hesitant at the beginning but also decided to give it a try and was not disappointed. In two weeks after finishing the school I got 2 full time offers. Just do your best and study hard!

I completed my internship and the company has now hired me

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!

If you want to change your career as QA, best place to start with is Portnov

I was totally new to Technology and worried but Portnov made it so easy for me. Awesome knowledgeable and outstanding teachers, always ready to answer anytime you have question to clear your doubts. Great hands on experience, great detailed training and Material. They have most updated tools and technology. I got Job within a month. I would like thank you all staff of Portnov and specially to Jaana, Olga , Sofia Pravdina, Anya, Sofia, Julia and Mr. Mikhail. One thing I would like to suggest is do your homework.

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.

Portnov Computer School is the best decision which I did and Thank You for changing my life in a best way

I want to express a huge gratitude to School and to all Wonderful Instructors for being so professional, knowledgeable, dedicated and patient. Every member of the school is there to help you, support and guide. I am impressed and can’t believe how much I grew in several months, how confident I became and how easy was this journey in changing my career. You will have here all the support to rock any interview and get a job offer as soon as possible.

Program and all the classes are very well organized, outstanding and information is up to date. Beside the theoretical knowledge I got here hands on experience, which is a must have in finding a dream job. The school will give you a great opportunity to change your career and life in a best way.

Thank you for caring and guiding even after I finished the course.

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 !

Portnov School taught and provided the necessary skills and training to jump-start my QA Engineer career

QA Basics, SWDM, QA Testing, QA Methodologies, Documentation, Bugs, HTML, CSS, JIRA, Confluence, JavaScript, SQL, XML, UNIX/Linux, Mobile Testing, API Automation, UI Automation, Git/GitHub, Cucumber/Gherkin, Selenium WebDriver, Xpath, Jenkins CI/CD. Can you ask of any other school that covers so much testing software and tools? The most important part is that students get help in their resumes as well as interviews and any and all questions. Highly recommend would be an understatement. Thanks for everything.

I got the job in 1,5 weeks after graduation

I’m thankful to school for the opportunity to start my career path in the IT field. I’m really happy that I had this journey with Portnov computer school and as a result I got the job in 1,5 weeks after graduation!

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!
