Jyothi Puthulatha

jpl

The Institute did wonders for me because I learnt how to apply these techniques which I learned at the Institute to my working field. I enjoyed a lot going to this institute and it was a great help for me to successful in my career. I find a decent job after getting the certification in Software Testing and Quality Assurance from MCIT.

Jyothi Gogna

I did my A.E.C Diploma in Software Testing from Montreal College of Information Technology. I was an International Student that learned a lot from this program and I got a job as an Quality Assurance Analyst in Automation. I would say that all the technical skills and techniques that I learned from this course helped me a lot in achieving my career goals.

am an Attorney from Brazil with a Law Degree.What brought me to Montreal College was my dissatisfaction with another college earlier. I realised as a 40 year old guy looking for a career change, MCIT made me feel very comfortable. It was the beginning of a dream of rebuilding my life.
