// For over 30 years, we've been helping students from around the world launch successful careers in tech and QA.
Portnov Computer School is a hands-on training institution specializing in Software Quality Assurance, operating for over 30 years. Based in California, we’ve been helping people from various professions and countries start their careers in IT — from scratch and with a guaranteed path to the job market — since 1994.
// We don’t teach for diplomas — we teach for job offers //
Thousands of our students have successfully changed careers and landed jobs at top U.S. tech companies — from startups to Amazon, Samsung, and Thomson Reuters. And each of them started the same way: by deciding to change their life and learn a new, in-demand skill.
We train on real projects, give access to industry-standard tools, and support every student until they get hired.
Our goal is not just to teach — it’s to help you start your career.
