What our graduates say

Shortly before finishing the JavaScript course, I managed to get hired as a Software Developer. The whole learning process was extraordinary and I'm glad I got the chance to meet such great people. The Informal School of IT does an extraordinary job! I originally studied marketing, but the idea of starting a career in programming came up as early as my first year of college, even though I put off the decision until after I graduated. If you're reading this and aren't sure whether it's worth making a career change, here's my message for you: it's not an easy journey, it takes sacrifice, but remember: “work hard pays off.”

I managed to get hired in the IT industry, specifically as a Junior Testing Engineer at UniCredit Services, after 7 months.

In the past I worked as a call-center operator. Today I'm a programmer. I enrolled at the Informal School of IT because I wanted to learn from people who truly know the realities of the job market. And I did it. My advice for you? Say “I CAN” and you will be able to.
Andreea AntiAndreea AntiWeb Development Graduate
I'm happy and grateful to the mentors! I managed to get my first QA job just 2 weeks after finishing the Software Testing course. Even though I already had the ISTQB FL certification, without the course from the Informal School of IT this career change would have been very hard for me.

I came to the Informal School of IT because I have many friends who graduated from its courses and I only heard positive feedback. Today I work as a UX Designer and I appreciate that the mentors put their heart into everything they taught us. They were there for us outside of class as well.

I used to be an IT Recruiter and today I'm a Database Developer. After more than 10 years, I realized I wanted to do something with a bigger impact. The mentors were the people who, more often than not, asked me the question “Why?” — the people I learned enormously from.

I came from a field that has nothing to do with IT: landscaping. At the Informal School of IT I learned not to give up. The mentors who trained and assessed me during the course recommended I move on to back-end. That's how I discovered my passion.

I gave up accounting for IT. The mentors are amazing. If you don't understand, they explain it again, and again, and again. They help you a lot and push you to try again, and again, and again, until you get how everything works. I've already started applying what I've learned in my own projects.
