What students are saying ...
“I am a Software QA Manager…I have interviewed many people…
The students coming out of Mr. xxx’s class are much better prepared to enter the employment market and are of much greater value to Silicon Valley…
He takes us from the elementary level and leads us through the process
You all are making a very positive contribution to the success of the students in our area.”
Walter Windus
What students are saying ...
“I would like to say a few words of appreciation for the role SCAE played in my working life.
Over the last 4 years I took more than 10 High Tech Program classes, and they have been very beneficial. I landed my first job as an SQA Intern following the class in Software Quality Assurance. I landed an Engineering position after taking classes in database structure and computer languages. My teachers, very experienced engineers from local high-tech companies, taught current technology, so I felt very comfortable on job interviews.
I thank all of the staff at Adult Education for great classes. I am confident that when a new technology or new tool appears on the market, SCAE would be first to provide training in that technology or tool to their students. I look forward to be among those students in the future.
Mark Vishnevsky”
What students are saying ... " I have never seen such an extensive variety of different career oriented courses offered by any local Adult Education program…
You should also know that your High Tech program has a very good reputation here locally among professionals working in the Software Industry. I used to work at Peregrine Systems in Mountain View, CA, and I heard about your program from three different colleagues in our QA group…
…the courses offered by Santa Clara Adult Education in your High Tech program are very helpful to local professionals in the Software Industry.
…thank you so much for all your help… I really think that your Program is terrific – keep up the good work!"
