CF109 Software Quality Assurance and Software Testing

It took me about 5 months to complete the Software Testing course at Hitek Computer School. Since I was unemployed at the time, I was able to dedicate 3-5 hours a day to studying. The program is well-organized and easy to follow. The format allows you to progress at your own pace and review the materials as much as needed. The theoretical part is concise and only includes relevant information necessary to understand the topic. I particularly liked that the school provided a project to test throughout the course, which was fully integrated with the learning materials and practical tasks. The second part of the course, which focused on automated testing, was especially interesting and somewhat challenging. The instructors were always available to answer my questions, usually responding within a few minutes or hours at the longest. They also provided detailed feedback on my assignments. After graduating, Hitek offered me an internship at a local company, which eventually led to me securing my first full-time permanent job as a Software Tester. I wholeheartedly recommend Hitek Computer School to anyone interested in entering the Software QA world. Good luck!

As an immigrant who recently arrived in Canada, I was on the lookout for a training program that would help me to land in the software industry. This training program was exactly what I was looking for. The program was entirely online, but it was different from other online courses. At the end of each module, there were extensive assignments to complete, and if I faced any challenges, I could easily reach out to the instructors for support. Additionally, I could even post in the forum to get help from other students, which made the learning process much more collaborative. The training program was divided into three parts. In the first part, I gained essential knowledge about software testing methodologies. The second part provided me with a basic understanding of test automation, including Selenium, UFT, and other relevant tools. Finally, the third part covered other mandatory technical knowledge such as SQL, Virtualisation, Version Control, Unix, etc. which have proved to be incredibly beneficial to my resume. The training program also offered modules on creating resumes and preparing for interviews, which I found extremely useful. As soon as I completed the program, I secured an internship at a software company, which eventually led to my first full-time job in Canada. For any new students considering this program, I highly recommend not procrastinating and taking your studies seriously. Best of luck to you all.

A good school to learn software QA methodologies. The curriculum offers hands-on learning in both manual and automation testing. The instructors are also really helpful and supportive throughout the entire course.

Fair, well organized, and a good amount of material. If you are totally new to testing this is your course. This was my first time taking a class with Hitek Computer School, so the experience was unique to me. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but I am very pleased with this format. The instructors were very knowledgeable, all the concepts were clearly explained and the corresponding assignments were useful to understand and implement the learned concepts. With this course, I was able to find my first job in the QA field a few months after graduating. I would definitely recommend Hitek Computer School to others.

Hitek Computer School’s Quality Assurance and Software Testing program was a great experience. The course is concise, organized, and covers both manual to automated testing. The instructors are always available to help you if you get stuck somewhere. I found the most valuable part of the course was the internship, as it familiarizes you with the QA role in a company, as well as makes you stand out as an experienced applicant—which translates to more job opportunities. The interview section of the course prepares you to face the interviews confidently. The course helped me to get through the interview and to find a permanent job as a Software QA Analyst. If you have any further questions, you can reach out to me at my email mentioned below.

Hitek Computer School gave me the necessary knowledge and skills to become successful in obtaining a job in the IT industry, right after the internship. I have become well acquainted with the instructors who coached me and guided me throughout the learning process. In them, I saw the role models who taught me to troubleshoot better and faster, communicate effectively and courteously, and most importantly, become empowered with the information they have so diligently shared with me. They were kind and generous, understanding, and compassionate, they have managed to balance the learning process in such a way that it was both challenging and entertaining. The material of the CF109 course is well organized, easy to comprehend, and up to date. The practice assignments are a carefully crafted mixture of hands-on tasks and quizzes, that reinforce the material taught in the preceding chapters while building practical skills. The highlights were the truly irreplaceable internship experience, which is a real-world model of a work environment that gets students up to speed with industry standards and best practices.

For those looking to start their career as Software QA Testers, I would recommend Hitek without hesitation. I enrolled in the CF109 Software QA and Testing program, which I found to be very thorough and well-structured. The flow of the units is very user-friendly and flexible. The instructors were very helpful and fast to respond. They give individualized and detailed feedback for every assignment, as well as provide guidance with my resume, cover letter, and interview process. When I graduated, the pandemic had just started, so it was a challenge to find any job. But thanks to Hitek’s continuous support, I was able to gain experience with an internship provided by the school. Happily, the internship transformed into a QA Engineer job. After being in the role, I can confidently say that Hitek provided everything that I needed to land and succeed at the job. I would like to take this opportunity to express my deep gratitude to all of Hitek’s instructors for all their help and support throughout the program and after.

I would definitely recommend Hitek Computer School as they helped me obtain the necessary skills to find the job as Software QA Engineer. The courses are concise, systematic, and cover all topics necessary to find a QA job.

I dived into the world of QA and discovered its potential for exploring so many new directions. This course covered the fundamentals of software testing methodologies while providing the best industry practices and intensive practical assignments for testing web and mobile applications. Hitek school gave me great start to my career. I gained a breadth of experience in QA: test planning and test case design, proficiency in all level of testings, knowledge of Relational Databases and Test Automation tools, and more. I am now applying and expanding my knowledge and experience at one of the largest high-tech telecom company in Canada. If you have any questions, please let me know.

I am very satisfied with Hitek Computer School’s QA program. In my opinion, this program is the best way for someone who wants to change their career field. The program is very extensive and provides enough knowledge to get your first job in the area of software testing. Special thanks to the instructors who help and support throughout the course.

I feel so happy that I found Hitek Computer School to help me out. The course contents are very detailed and clear. The assignments are challenging and very helpful in learning things. The instructors are very good and would respond as soon as possible on any queries, doubts, grading assignments or even other questions about the software testing job market. The course helped me a lot to get through the interview and find a job.

I enjoyed the Software QA and Testing course from the first day I started. I found it to be very thorough, and each lesson very thought out and comprehensive. The instructors, Oleg and Igor, were always ready to help and were easy to reach. As a stay at home mom prior to the course, I was excited to get back on the job market—and thanks to the course and the internship I participated in through Hitek, I felt capable and highly-skilled. After a few interviews, I landed a position in an international company based in the US, working as a verification and validation engineer. I can honestly say that I applied the information I learned from the course everyday, and it made the early stages of the position so much easier. I really recommend the course to anyone thinking about a career in software quality assurance and testing.

I came across Hitek Computer School through internet and I am glad that I joined Hitek. The course helped me in gaining QA knowledge and helped me in building a foundation which I needed. The course helped me in finding a job in the Canadian market by providing sufficient QA knowledge. Although I had experience in the home country, I was finding it hard to find job when I first came to Canada, but by the end of the course I landed with two job offers. Throughout the course, Instructors of the course Oleg and Igor were very helpful and cleared all my doubts which helped me in building my knowledge. Thank you Hitek!

Hitek Computer School gave me an invaluable experience and allowed me to painlessly change my career within less than a year. I was looking for a course that included both manual and automation testing, and Hitek Computer School was the perfect choice. I did not have any experience in QA or even in IT in general, but thanks to the course structure the learning experience went smoothly. I got an internship position upon graduation, and, after gaining a few months of work experience, was able to find a full-time job. It is also helpful to go back to the course material from time to time to have some guidance in writing test cases and organizing your working process.

I came from an accounting background. It wasn’t a good fit for me, mainly because I don’t really look forward to processing other people’s bills for the rest of my life, and the salary wasn’t too high either. One of my friends recommended me Hitek’s course as a good transition into the IT world. I finished the course in four months. It was hard because I worked full-time and was only able to devote 10 hours per week studying. But looking back at it now, I can say it was the right decision. I found a new job in Toronto after only a month of intensive searching. I landed two offers, the salaries of which were higher than what I had asked for in the interview! To match my current salary in the accounting world, I would have to spend a couple more years upskilling and gain way more experience.
Not only did the course gave me all the knowledge I needed to find a job, I received a deep understanding of software testing and quality assurance, latest tools, techniques and methodologies. It allows me to perform all my work tasks without additional training. I even feel like I know more than some experienced testers. What stood out to me about the course was the internship. It gave me practical skills and allowed me to show previous QA experience in my resume so I didn’t experience the terrible “imposter syndrome” feeling during interviews. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who wants to move into the Software Testing field but isn’t sure where to start. It turned out to be a lot less scary and a lot more fun than I expected! Thank you to the Hitek Team!

When I moved to the United States, I was 53. Despite having a successful academic and business background back home, the only work I managed to find was as a glass plant laborer. When I first found out about Hitek Computer School, I had my doubts about whether it could really change my career path at my age. I expressed these concerns with Oleg, who connected me with a graduate around the same age, who came from a similar background. It was inspiring to hear and learn about his success after graduating Hitek Computer School. I realized that my fears were overrated, and marketability actually depended more on proper training and related work experience—which Hitek provides. I took the dive and enrolled. Upon completing the course and two internships, I began searching for a QA job. It wasn’t easy. I sent many applications, had dozens of phone interviews, and four onsite interviews. But in the end, finally, I was offered a permanent position with a salary I had never even dreamt of!

About the course itself — the course content is detailed and well-explained. It feels readable and easily understandable to non-technical people. There is an excellent presentation of software QA philosophy and methodology coupled with quizzes and scrupulous practical examples following every lesson. The responses from the instructors were always prompt and supportive. Another important thing I’d like to acknowledge is the thorough interview training, which is SO important.
All you need to succeed in this is persistence, curiosity, and most importantly, a belief in yourself.

Hitek Computer School is such an awesome and wonderful school with a good selection of courses. I was delighted to enroll in the CF109 Software QA and Software Testing Program. It not only covers manual testing but also popular automation tools with a handful of practical applications, which are popular and in demand. It has been a pleasure to complete this course under the supervision of instructors Oleg and Igor, who are very knowledgeable, professional, and helpful. The internship provided in this course is a vital step in the path of success because you get the maximum amount of exposure to an almost-identical to workplace IT environment. After my first internship, I was able to find a job in a reputed company. I am really thankful to my instructors whose guidance and quick responses to my queries are incredible. I would highly recommend this school, and especially this course to anyone who is interested in software testing. I feel honoured to have had this experience. Thank you so much.

I am glad that I decided to take this course. I switched my career path drastically when I went from Mining Technologies field to IT/QA field. At first I was worried that I won’t be able to handle the program and that I will struggle just as much in finding a job in QA field as I did in Mining. However, the CF 109 “Software Quality Assurance and Software Testing” program was structured nicely and gradually increased in complexity with instructors ready to answer any of the questions that I had. At the end of the program I was offered a few internship positions which in the long run would add valuable experience to my profile, within 3-4 weeks of finishing this program and starting an online internship I received a job offer from an ISV company. Currently, I am working as Jr. Quality Analyst with a team which develops ERP software. I would recommend this program for people who want a career in IT.

Hitek Computer School is an ideal training institute for people interested in making a career in Software Quality Assurance and Software testing. The course is very systematic and introduces the topics in a very gradual but effective way. My favorite part of the course is – assignments! All the assignments are practical and challenging. I never felt overwhelmed by the course content. The instructors are informative, helping and encouraging. With a 1 yr old at home, this online course what what I needed to push my career to the next level. Thank you Hitek.

Here is my story. I had no QA experience before arriving in Canada. After completion the “Software Quality Assurance and Software Testing” course, I landed a six-month internship. At the end, I got a QA Engineer position in a very successful company. These facts speak for themselves. What do you need in order to reproduce my success? A desire to be a QA professional and knowledge of WHAT to do in QA and an understanding about HOW to get a job. Hitek Computer School will give you all of this, but your desire is your own responsibility.

The instructors are not only professionals in the IT field, but they genuinely care about their students. I got support from them even after my course was finished. Looking back, I can see that Hitek Computer School was an extremely important stepping stone in my new career in Canada. I believe Hitek Computer School is the place to start!

I have really enjoyed taking the QA course from Hitek School. Both instructors are very professional and have very good teaching methodology. Course material is up to date and well organized. I was able to find a job within a month after graduating. Would wholeheartedly recommend Hitek Computer School!

Excellent course, well organized and conducted, and memorable. It had thoughtful theories, models, many quality assessments and tests. The whole process was really interesting and engaging. The amount of provided help and confidence was tremendous. All these gave me strong support going forward in my career… My only advice to anybody doing it in the future would be to go in with an open mind, be prepared to read Units more than one time, get stuck in, accomplish tasks and finally, as the result, to develop perfect QA skills!!!! Overall, it was very competent, actionable and informative experience. Highly recommended.

If you really want to change your career and to work in a nice, professional environment in less than in a year – then Hitek Computer School is the right choice for you. I was an online student. The course is very organized and contains only information that you will need in your practical work. The course load is intense, so be ready to devote a lot of time for studying if you are really serious about getting a new career in the IT field. It took me 6 months to complete the CF109 Software QA and Software Testing course. I found a job a few weeks after receiving my certificate. The material is easy to read and well structured. The practical part is awesome. You will do a lot of practical assignments and get real skills needed for the job. Instructors are very professionals and supportive. Thanks so much for all their help. I will recommend this course for anyone who wants to succeed in IT.

I never thought that Hitek Computer School could change my life in the way I became ‘live’ again. Even though I had some experience being QA in the past in my home country, here I gained necessary knowledge required to become ‘expert’ on the Canadian market. Automation and an internship with real companies this is what I needed for success. Hitek Computer School not only provided with both but always kept track on my achievements and gave me very valuable advice. It does take the time to succeed but if you have a dream, it will come true as you go with Hitek School!!!!

I would recommend Hitek’s QA program to anyone who is interested in finding job as a software QA. After finishing the QA program at Hitek school, I was able to found a good QA job immediately. This program improved my QA skills in all the areas that the IT industry is looking for. It also include excellent lessons preparing students for job interviews. Their customer service as an online school was very good. They always responded to my questions kindly and promptly. I had a good experience with Hitek computer school.

A comprehensive course with clear instructions, valuable information and lots of practice. This course helped me develop skills and knowledge relevant to professionals in my field and find a job very quickly. Most importantly, questions asked in job interviews, are covered in the course. I enrolled in Hitek school 3 months ago. Today, I have a well paid job. Thank You HItek!

The course is very organized and contains only information you’ll need in your practical life as a Software Tester. Instructors are very helpful and responsive and know what they are doing, that’s for sure. After 7 weeks of job searching after my fourth interview I got the full time permanent position at K12.com as an SQA Engineer. This changed my life. Not in a financial way (I had pretty decent salary as a Procurement Analyst) but now I am doing what I like at work not AFTER work… I am happy. Thank You, HiTek!

It’s been about three months since I completed Software Quality Assurance Course from Hitek Computer School, and so far I have not once regretted my decision. I love my new occupation. I am working as a Software Quality Assurance Specialist. I want to thank Hitek Computer School for all the hard work they did for this to become a reality. Thank you for your time, your support, and thank you for really CARING about all the students like me and doing your best to help us fulfill our dreams. I am impressed by your professionalism, attention to details, and your assistance in finding a job. It was my great honour to be studying in such a great school. I recommend Hitek Computer School to anyone who is interested in becoming a Software Tester. To those who are still not quite sure about what to choose I’d like to remind: it’s never easy to change something in your life and make a fresh start – but don’t be afraid to try. It’s worth it.

The course of Software Quality Assurance offered by the school is the best that I could find. Looking back, I can tell that the course covers absolutely everything that is necessary to find a job in the industry. Besides theory, the course contains lots of practical exercises, assignments and quizzes after each lesson. Lessons are carefully crafted, and contain a lot of information in compressed, but easy to understand form, even for students without previous programming experience. The course not only covers manual and automation testing and most popular tools, but the whole QA process. It also gives you excellent resources to research on your own and get knowledge in database development, UNIX operating system, different models of software development practices and such. Very important part of the course is teaching you how to make a good resume, cover letter, how to behave during an interview and possible interview questions. I found this a very valuable experience as I had 7 interviews in my first 2 weeks after finishing the course, and was able to find the job. 90% of questions asked by the employers were covered in the course. Finally, I would like to thank people from Hitek School for their effort. Good job, guys.

I was really happy to find out that the Course contained not just theoretical and practical parts, but also really big and full chapter to help you get ready a Resume, Cover Letter and the most important – an Interview Questions. Speaking about the first part (theory and practice) I would say it’s very easy to learn. Speaking “easy” I don’t mean it’s not serious, but it gives you a chance to go through it step by step and finally -you get understanding of basic principles and methods of testing.

Second part of the course – “Test Automation” is different from the other lessons – some programming experience would be an asset. But even without one everybody can get basic knowledge and skills to start working with Automation tool, and it’s really great and interesting opportunity! The course is written in really clear and gradual manner, so you’ll feel confident, doing it step by step.Try to do every task several times (even if it works fine from the first) cause it will give you good understanding of principles tool’s work. Now, after graduation and getting a job I can say that the course was just great! On the one hand it gave me enough knowledge and skills to start working, one the other hand – I’ve got excellent training to be ready for an Interview. So if you decide to become a Tester – don’t hesitate – you’ve found the best course to make you ready for it!
