Portnov Computer School is the perfect place if you are looking for the job in the tech industry.

Portnov Computer School is the perfect place if you are looking for the job in the tech industry. They have organized and structured courses for Software Quality Assurance. Everyone (including Teachers and Management) are super nice and helpful. They will give you all sort of ideas how to work in companies and their expectations. They not only prepare their students with technical knowledge but also prepare them for interviews.My journey was super exciting and awesome. I made few good friends and got a job in a good company without internship luckily. I will suggest following the given direction from Portnov Computer School but at the same time do more preparation on your end.(helped me a lot). They schedule interviews for their student's plenty of times.(no counts). In my batch, all most everyone got some sort of internship or job. Portnov Computer School was a life-changing experience for me. Thanks to my husband who helps me to get enrolled. I will highly recommend for those who are looking for a job in the tech industry or looking for career change, to start a career and start a career after a long break. Portnov Computer School is the right place to make your dream come true

Portnov computer is the real deal school.

Portnov computer is the real deal school. I had doubt when I read negative reviews but I attended the school and tried it myself. Every staff in the school including Mikhail are very helpful and kind. The school provides all kind of technologies that QA would need. But people especially who have no technical background, you have to also study hard and put your time on it, this is a professional level. You can't just wait for the school feeding what you want to know but you also have to do it and commit the work. I had really great professional internship and gained a lot of knowledge from it. Now I am confident to enter the job market. Wish me a good luck.

If you want to kick start a career in the IT field, Portnov Computer School is the go to place for training.

If you want to kick start a career in the IT field, Portnov Computer School is the go to place for training. I was a bit skeptical about a career change, however taking up the SQA course in Portnov has been a life changing experience. The instructors (Olga C & Marina G) are very friendly and patient. The projects we did in school gave us good hands on experience on software testing. The best part for me was their intense interview training (Thanks to Janna, Olga K & Anna). They prepare your resume, conduct a couple of mock interviews and provide excellent counseling on how to answer interview questions and ways to project yourself in the job market. Everybody is given an opportunity to get into an internship program. I landed a really good internship and hope to find a job very soon. Special thanks to Sofia for helping with the internship interviews & job searches. I would also like to thank Mikhail for his support and guidance. I would definitely recommend Portnov Computer School to anyone looking for a jump start to their career.

This place is really wonderful if you are looking for a career change.

This place is really wonderful if you are looking for a career change. I completed all my classes and started my internship with a wonderful company in bay area. 'Portnov' is the best place to go if you want to  get a good training of QA. They have wonderful instructors who have very good knowledge and extensive years of working experience in QA field. So they know well what they are doing. I am really thankful to my instructors Olga C, Olga K and Janna. They are really wonderful instructors. Of course they are very strict and will not let you go unless you are very well prepared and have good confidence as a QA engineer. I really admire their mock interview and clearance process which allowed me to learn a lot. The most critical part is finding an internship and Sofia is the one who will come to help you. She is very kind and helpful person and I am really grateful to her for all the support she gave me through my internship interviews. I am really thankful to all my friends I met there. You will meet people from all over the world and will find lifelong friends. I really enjoyed the time I spent at Portnov and made bunch of good friends. This place did the magic for me.

Portnov is an amazing place for someone who is looking to change their career.


Portnov is an amazing place for someone who is looking to change their career. It has been a blessing for me to be honest. I went to High school here in the USA. I got my degree in B.S psychology from San Jose State University in july 2015. I tried to find a job in this field, but it was not to be. Those who are currently taking any social science major, they know what I am talking about when I say that all these majors are heavily impacted.
After searching for a job for good 4-5 months, I knew I had to start doing something else.

I came across Portov school when I was searching for IT schools in the bay area. I joined Portnov in December 2015. Once I completed the course,  I was able to get an internship at a Start up company. So, anybody who attends this School, Sofia Will help with the internship. Once your internship is done, Ask Mikhail to prepare your Job resume.

I spent about 3 months at this start up company. I learned a lot here, This is very good experience before you get a job, as it trains you for your next career step. I just received a job offer from a very well known company in the world (hint hint:  It keeps the doctor away), and all of it is possible because of Portnov School. Now, do not expect to not work on your own and find a job. Portnov prepares you well, but you have to spend time on everything they teach and practice.

I would like to  give a shout out to my favorite human being at Portnov, Sofia. She definitely has been one of the biggest part in this career change. Everybody at Portnov is very helpful, but Sofia has been the biggest reason why I got a job at this big company. If you are reading this Sofia,I just want to say thank you for caring.
