Portnov Computer School

I started Portnov Computer School at the end of July. Despite all other good or bad reviews I can tell one thing, if you want to find a job and start a new career the school will definitely help you. You have to be ready to work a lot. The teachers will give you tons of information, but it more

I began to attend Portnov Computer School 2.5 months ago. And now I'm very happy because of this my decision. Classes take place rapidly and interesting. You has to do a lot at home, because of the large amount of information and it is very important to spend most of your time for studying every day. Teaching process is constructed in such way as to maximize preparation of each person for an interview. In each course lecturers spend much time for explanation possible questions, which is very helpful, because if you try to learn everything - it will take years, but in school you learns only what is really needed. As a result, I will start my internship this week! Of course, I want to say thank you to Mikhail - for me who decided to come to the U.S. and who decided to start his new life, Portnov Computer School provided an opportunity to get an interesting job in good company, that gave me very tangible hope that soon I will be able to adapt and integrate more or less into American society - it is very important for me! Again, Mikhail, thank you so much!!! more

I had great experience with this school. Their instructors are outstanding, all working professionals in software industry. Their curriculum is very practical and oriented to provide the maximum knowledge to the students in the short time frame (about 3 months long classes). Knowledge they share is always up to date and is adjusted in tune with new industry trends, which I find very valuable. School provides the wide range of technology trainings, so I keep coming back to obtain new skills that I can apply at my work! I can recommend this school as a great destination for those who are interested in advancing in their careers or those who is thinking of career change. more

Portnov is in the business of career change rather than classes per say. That is not the only, but very important factor. That is why: - They allow students to audit classes at no extra charge if student needs to repeat the class. - They guarantee internship placement upon graduation. Could be paid or unpaid, but it is guaranteed. - They place graduates ""under counter"" using their own network of QA Managers most of whom are graduates of the Portnov When it really comes to having 3 things in place at a time: - making it fast - making it without spending a fortune - making it if not guaranteed but close to that there is no alternative. It simply does not exist. more

Portnov promises much, but really anything isn't present. Internship is long to wait. \r On 1 internship place more 10 graduates of school apply.\r Estimate Portnov’s promises critically.\r more

Taking this opportunity I want to express my gratitude and satisfaction with Software Quality Assurance Testing Course offered by Portnov Computer School. I was greatly impressed with the expertise, professionalism and the personal attention I received from the instructors. Only couple of days after completing the program, I was hired. I feel confident, as the school has provided me with sound foundation in the field. A special ‘Thank You’ to Mikhail and Sofia for their assistance and advice in my job search. They not only helped me with my resume but also provided me with useful market information. I specially liked Mikhail’s class aiming at improving interview and job search skills. I would like to highly recommend Portnov Computer School to anyone who is interested in learning and expanding their knowledge in the field of Software Quality Assurance. Thanks again for your support and guidance. more

I came to America a few years ago. I had to start my live from the beginning. Again have to do difficult choice about profession. \r \r I started to take English classes at City College and take some computer classes at same time. I got a certificate. I was happy. And started my job search. But no luck there. Nobody wanted to hire me without experience. \r \r Some how, I find out about Portnov Computer School. After I finished classes I got my first job interview. …….and job offer! I am so happy, couldn’t believe myself. All my life begins to change in America!\r \r This is about Portnov School and people who work there. It is their help, their classes helped me to get a job. Thank you so much Michael, Sofia, Irinka and everybody. This school is different from others especially because people care if you get a job. I had before a bad experience when school just wants to take your money, and don’t care what you will learn there, and if you find job after it. \r \r I found the real help at Portnov school. They help with writing a resume, teach you what to do and what not to do on an interview. After that you feel pretty comfortable to go on interview and meet your future employer. \r \r I met new friends there (Hi guys! ). We help to each other during the studying. And I hope we keep our relationship after school. You have to believe that you can do it too. And you will find real support at the School. \r Thank you so much to everyone!\r more
