Free Lessons, March 25–28. An IT Career Rehearsal: How to Leave a Job You Dislike and Move into IT from Scratch in Six Months

Register for the free open lessons on testing and programming, running on March 25–28. Together we will work out which of the most popular entry professions in IT to choose: becoming a tester or going into web development. The lessons are taught by IT experts and developers from Silicon Valley, California.

This is for you if:

• You have no IT experience at all but dream of a career in the field
• You are an immigrant in the USA and do not know what to do or where to work
• You are a student or a recent graduate and need a fast start in a promising direction
• You already have a job you dislike and want to change your life and earn well

What the lessons cover:

• A detailed look at what testers and developers actually do
• Test exercises, and a chance to try both roles
• How long it takes to train for each profession and which skills you will need
• Salaries, the state of the market and the prospects of being hired straight after the course
