What drove me to change careers was my desire to set a good example for my children. After years of working as a warehouse manager, I decided to return to IT, choosing QA. The training was a challenge: for my very first assignment, I came up with a complex home server project, but that only helped me reinforce the theory. What inspired me the most was the hands-on experience with real SkillsUp projects—we hunted for bugs and worked with Jira, Postman, and Notion. For me, IT is like a narrow, rickety ladder that’s harder to climb than the comfortable stairs of my previous job. But it leads much higher! A huge thank you to our instructor Marina for her passion and the sparkle in her eyes. This crash course gave me what matters most: self-confidence and the realization that I should never give up.
I’m 17, still in 11th grade, and preparing for the NMT, but I decided not to just waste my savings—I wanted to invest them in my education. On my tutor’s advice, I enrolled in the QA program at SkillsUp. To be honest, it was tough at first. Without a technical foundation, the theory and working with requirements were tough—I had to Google a lot of terms or figure them out using neural networks. But once the hands-on part started—I was hooked! I especially loved testing a real project for a charity and writing test cases. I really got into working with Postman (I’d even like to get more practice with it). The course exceeded my expectations! Right now, I’m about 50/50 ready for a job, since I still need to pass my exams and bring my English up to B1. But as soon as I pass the NMT, I’m diving right into IT!
Huge thanks to Anastasia Pedorenko! The knowledge, skills and useful tips gained during the Diving into Software Testing course are very valuable and useful. I hope that finding a job with such a background will not be a problem)
I tried to find suitable testing courses for quite a long time. Based on good reviews from friends and acquaintances, she confidently chose SkillsUp. After analyzing the prices for other courses, I concluded that the ratio of price and quality is simply gorgeous. Plus, the venue and time were very suitable (center, 6:30 p.m., since I work until 5:30 p.m., the time was perfect). Regarding the presentation of material, it is very important for me how a person presents information and how he behaves. Nastyusha Pedorenko is wonderful, excellent presentation of the material. A person does not load "clever" words so that it is difficult for you to understand what is being discussed, Nastya explained as clearly as possible and skillfully held the audience, and her examples simply stick in the memory :) I want to note one of the best databases on materials. We must say a special thank you to Maryna Melnyk. Also this year IT Weekend was devoted to Scrum time, so what can I say, you will be told much better about Scrum here. She was satisfied with the courses. I think these are not the last courses I took at SkillsUp.
Thank you, SkillsUp team, for the excellent organization of the educational process! Qualitative theory + real practice + interesting homework + fast and adequate feedback = SkillsUp. I recommend! She completed the Diving into Software testing and Diving into Scrum Methodology courses. After completing the courses, she got a position in a large IT company. PS: Marina, Dima, Nastya, Lina, Olya — you are great! Good luck to you!
I have been familiar with SkillsUp since 2014. I took the Diving into Software Testing and Test Automation courses at SkillsUp, I was satisfied with the knowledge I received, which I still use today. Trainers are always open and ready to help. Can I recommend these courses — I have already recommended them)) moreover, I am also taking my next course here)
Took the course "Immersion in software testing and quality assurance" in 2017. I was very satisfied. Trainers Oleksandr and Yulia are at their best. Information was provided easily and very clearly. After completing the courses, I was able to apply the acquired knowledge at work and improved the quality of the testing process. I highly recommend SkillsUp. At the moment, I am studying the course "Immersion in Java" with Artem Guzychenko. The material is provided just as easily and clearly. Thanks to the SkillsUp team!)
Thanks to the "Skillsup" company for the "Diving into software testing and quality assurance" course! It was interesting, fast and productive! All the coaches are great, but Marina Melnyk is a fantastic speaker! In an hour or a half, she told a lot of interesting information and explained the nuances using real examples. Everything is very dynamic, without water and without reading from a letter. It is very good that, in addition to the theory, there were stories about how it actually works and what are the subtleties. The teachers are well prepared, the presentations are made with high quality! Looking forward to your next course!
