Portnov Computer School Goes Online

Feb. 4, 2011 - PRLog -- Portnov Computer School, the world’s oldest and largest Software QA training institution, is now offering online classes to meet the growing demand for software testing and software quality assurance training all over the USA and the world. Due to these online classes, The Portnov Computer School’s high quality, top notch training programs are available internationally, when previously they were only offered to people in the Silicon Valley area.

As Mikhail Portnov, the school’s director explains,
“There are two business trends which result in a high demand for our online program internationally. Firstly, USA software development programs are being outsourced to various countries all over the world. To work on those offshore projects, specialists are needed who understand the American definition and practice of software quality assurance and software testing. Secondly, Entrepreneurs from all over the world are developing software products which are targeted at the American market. Therefore, software quality specialists are needed who are able to produce software which satisfies the needs of the American market and customers.”

The school didn’t go online in the past, as they could not find a satisfactory way of providing students with the hands-on experience which is essential for a career in Software Quality Assurance. Finally, the school has found its way to incorporate hands-on project experience into the online curriculum and this sets Portnov Computer School apart from any competition.

Participating in online classes is also a faster and more personalized way of learning. Students are able to learn from the comfort of their own home and it is therefore more convenient in today’s fast paced world. It overcomes timing, attendance and travel difficulties.
