Irina Bugrova

I ended up on this course completely by chance: I read good reviews in the QA club community of testers. The program on the site was extensive, and the price was very reasonable. I finished the course in 6 months (as someone with a humanities background, I'll admit it wasn't easy).

While studying, it seemed like there was a lot of unnecessary theory. I was able to appreciate it at my job interview: they grilled me on this course for almost an hour and a half.

I especially want to mention the level devoted to the resume. A well-written resume is 50% of success. Thanks to this level and the team's reviews, mine turned out great.

In the end I got a job quickly, at one of the companies I had wanted to join.

Huge thanks to Dmytro and his team!
