What our students are saying
QA
I really enjoy it, even though sometimes the homework isn't always clear; however, the instructor explains everything. It seems like I'm managing to complete all the exercises on time. With each lesson, it feels like they're getting more and more challenging. I hope this is a very good "sign" 😁
Ilya Simpson
QA
Overall, the course was very enjoyable, highly informative and well-structured.
Vadim Kööp
QA
The learning process itself was very useful and informative, and I'm glad I took part in it!
Alina
QA
The training is excellent. Daniil is very understanding, a very pleasant lecturer who wonderfully conveys information and explains all aspects clearly. I'm a bit behind with assignments due to lack of time, but I'm very, very happy to be on your course and absolutely thrilled. Thank you ❤️
Yuliana Afanasyeva
QA
Yes, I like everything! I always look forward to each lesson. Yes, as a beginner it is more difficult for me to understand. There are new words for me. I try to understand everything, if it is not clear, I am embarrassed to ask, but I think it is a matter of time. I try to do my homework, it gives practice, a little experience of the material covered in the lesson and not to miss classes is the most important thing. It is as if I am not in courses, but fully studying every day. There will also be English. I am really looking forward to it. Thank you!
Victoria Semenova
QA
I really enjoy the classes, the thoroughness of the material, the answers to additional questions, everything is covered, and a big plus is that practical sessions occur right away in the homework.
Natalia Olenyuk

Ilona Bogomol
QA
I really enjoy the classes! Everything is accessible and clear. There is a lot of practice. The teacher is open to discussions. The only thing is that there are slight delays in checking homework assignments, but I think it's due to the volume.
Alina Andreeva
QA
Regarding the training - I like everything! Honestly, I was only able to attend 2 lessons so far because I'm sick, and I watched the rest of the lessons in recording. The material and presentation are good, the atmosphere in class is normal. My expectations for the course are justified so far :)
Maksim
QA
Thank you for the course, it was informative, useful and a lot of practice, I didn't even expect it)))
I'm looking forward to the English for IT course.
Tetiana Kharuzheva
QA
Hello! I completed the QA Manual & English for IT (advanced) course in January 2025, and I can confidently say that I made the right choice by studying both testing and specific English simultaneously. The selection of teachers is excellent! Elena (QA) and Alina (English) are both sensitive, patient, and attentive educators. The two programs complement each other perfectly. After each lesson, we reinforced the material with homework. The level of English language instruction was impressive - during 40 lessons, Alina didn't say a word in Russian. We communicated a lot, reviewed grammar, learned, and immediately applied new words. I am very satisfied with the process. Thank you! Yulia
