How to become an IT specialist in a few weeks: ITPass opens a new set of students

While settling in the United States, immigrants often face the fact that they cannot work in their usual profession in America - they lack qualifications, knowledge of the language, proven experience, and a deep understanding of local areas of activity. And even those who were engaged in highly intellectual labor in their homeland, arriving in the USA, sometimes pessimistically believe that now their lot is physical work for modest pay. Is it really?

Everyone knows (and this has already become a kind of legend) how well “IT specialists” earn money in America. Workers in the IT industry are truly in demand and receive an income the level of which allows even a newly minted immigrant to feel free in the United States. If not everyone, then many people want to “enter IT.” But is it really possible to do this in a new country, where there are already so many people who want to find their place in the industry?

Everything is easier and faster than it seems - you just need to know where to start

President Trump's "Buy American, Hire American" policy has changed how companies approach the hiring of foreign workers on H1B professional work visas, which have continued to flow into the country over the past two decades. The new rules only benefit you - if you are in the United States legally, are a permanent resident or a citizen, all the cards are in your hands. A difficult but important task remains: to obtain a sufficient level of qualifications to finally take your first steps in the IT industry.

Taking fully into account the new requirements and rules, a group of IT professionals with extensive experience has created training center IT Pass in Brooklyn, where in just three weeks you can master a new IT-profession or take a refresher course to confidently keep up with current industry trends.

Russian-speaking IT Pass teachers serve such large companies as Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Bear Sterns, E * Trade, Reuters, as well as government organizations, including the New York City Department of Information Technology. In teaching, the organizers use their own experience, which is constantly complemented and improved in practice.

The center has been running for a little over two years, and during that time has released seven courses

The first graduates of IT Pass are already working in the USA in their new specialty “software quality control specialist”, also known as “tester”, who immediately earns from 50-60 thousand dollars a year in America. The training actually takes only three weeks.

Groups are small: one of the main principles of the center is an individual approach that takes into account the characteristics of each student, his language training, age, level of knowledge and many other individual factors. Here they answer all the questions, help them learn new information in the most appropriate way, they will catch up if you are lagging behind, and they even allow you to complete the course again - suddenly you didn’t understand or remember something.

It is important to know that for the development of the specialty "manual" tester previous experience is not required, you can start from scratch. Group work is designed to give students a maximum of practical knowledge in the minimum time required to start a career or career jump.

You can always go further (and if you have already worked in the IT field, deepen and expand your knowledge). At the center you can learn to become an “automated” tester - one of the most sought-after IT specialties in the world. This is an advanced course called Selenium. ABOUTIt will take a longer time, but will also allow you to make a more serious step forward. Having mastered automated testing, you can immediately earn from 100 thousands of dollars a year. Agree, a good investment of power?

According to Alexander Rubinstein, co-owner of the center, the specialist who has mastered Selenium has almost one hundred percent chance find a job in america. The general course of studying Selenium lasts 12 weeks. New students of the center are offered to take a short course first and then move on to an in-depth course.

In addition to all of the above, you will be helped to find a job. The center does not guarantee employment, because it depends, first of all, on the student himself, but the staff will do everything for you to cope with this task. You will learn how to make a resume and be interviewed at IT companies. According to Rubinstein, one of the students, an 70-year-old woman, successfully got a job on the very last day of class.

And one more important plus: teaching in the center is conducted in Russian, and classes are held in the evenings, so it will be easy for you to combine them with the main activity.

Closest course QA training will begin on Wednesday, September 12, at 8 hours of the evening.

Be sure to visit and free open lesson (open day) before the seminar - it will be held Thursday, 6 September, at 8 PM by the address: 1117 Brighton Beach Ave, 4th Floor, Brooklyn. Phone: 929-269-5970

The total cost of the course is 1500 dollars, of which 80% is paid during class and 20% after you find the first job. There is also a special offer: 100 dollars discount for students who will pay the full amount on the first day of class or before they start. You can also bring a friend and get 50 dollars when he signs up and pays for the course.
