What our students say
The information that you gave us is invaluable! As an immigrant it is hard to find a fun and high paying job, but QA meets all these requirements. This job also helps me fulfill both my creative and intellectual potential with endless possibilities of learning and being on top of the latest technology trends.
Everything is possible if you have a goal. Thank you for the experience that you shared with us, thank you for your approach to the learning process and for the program that you have prepared for us. Practice on real projects, work with various tools, all these is exactly what your students and future specialists need. You have been and will remain forever not only mentors but also good friends.
So far very happy with all information and support from TechSkillAcademy! Very informative. Nice presentation. Direct involvement. Presented by experienced and knowledgeable stuff. Teachers are great. Highly recommend this school!
Starting base pay is really high. I choose a QA career because I didn’t need to spend tens of thousands of dollars to get a Computer Science degree. The biggest plus is, of course, the salary. I don’t know of any other professions that will give you such a great beginning base pay.
