Review: Natalia Pugacheva

Tallinn Learning:

Natalia, hello! We’re very happy to see you at today’s interview. We’d love to learn more about your study experience. Could you please tell us why you initially decided to enroll in a manual testing course?

Natalia:

It happened almost by chance. I was on maternity leave and thinking about what I would like to do afterward. I wanted to find something new, interesting, and inspiring. That’s how I came to the idea of enrolling in testing courses.

Tallinn Learning:

Great! And why did you choose Tallinn Learning specifically?

Natalia:

For me, it was important that the courses were held in Estonia, had positive reviews, were conducted as live sessions rather than pre-recorded lessons, and offered an intensive program. Tallinn Learning fully met all of these requirements.

Tallinn Learning:

That’s wonderful! Natalia, we know that after completing the course you successfully found a job 🙂 Were the knowledge and skills you gained during the training enough to pass job interviews?

Natalia:

After finishing the course, my learning didn’t stop — I continued studying on my own. The course covered all the main aspects that a beginner tester faces, and that was enough for a strong start. We also had career consultations, which gave me confidence and helped me better understand the job market.

Tallinn Learning:

Excellent! What would you recommend to those who want to start a career in IT?

Natalia:

It’s important not to give up and to keep moving toward your goal. Make sure to keep developing your skills, even while you’re looking for a job. Be open to internships — who knows, it might become your future workplace!

Tallinn Learning:

Natalia, thank you very much for taking part in this interview! We wish you great success in your professional career.
