  • Life Turning Point - Thank you!

    I've heard wonders about Portnov School, but was a bit skeptical at first. 10 weeks of training and you have GUARANTEED Internship that in half of the cases results in a job offer?! That sounded more like a Fairy Tale.

    I have a Degree in Computer Science from 2005, but I had been working in different field for years. I wanted to come back into the technical field, but was not sure how to make the transition and didn’t know how to start. Then, in January of 2013 after working for 9 years in Materials/Procurement of Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, I've got laid off. Without any enthusiasm I spent a couple of weeks looking for a job in the same field..

    And then (to the best of my luck!) my friend suggested I try Portnov School. So I gave it a try, and that was a best career decision I ever made!
    The Friendly Environment, The way courses organized and, of course, The Teachers were far and beyond my expectations! The staff at Portnov School is fantastic, you feel like you are part of the family - so much effort and care they put in every student to help him/her to get ready and successfully pass the interview. They have a very personalized approach to the educational process. They also help you with preparing your resume and getting ready for interviews. During the program itself we go through a comprehensive load of coursework. Everyone can study with their own pace. You can come to listen to courses with next group if you missed some class meetings. Live classes, online video materials of classes, resume preparation and job search assistance - those are the tools that will be available to you free of charge for years to come shall you come back later to refresh the knowledge or to search for employment change.

    While some of the material was more of a refresher for me, the majority of it was new. This is because SQA tools and techniques are a more specialized field that is often not covered in traditional Computer Science programs. After finishing my classes and going through the final exam and mock interview, I was immediately given an interview opportunity for an internship and was fortunate enough to get the job.

    While I had a background in CS, most of my classmates didn’t. It was amazing to see how the school was able to help people from all walks of life successfully transition to a career in SQA.
    I have to say that I am very impressed with Portnov School and very grateful as well. I had not expected to have such a quick and smooth transition for my career.
    Thank you so very much Mihail, Olga K, Olga C and especially Sofia!

    Sincerely,
    Former student
