Is it worth spending time and money on Geekbrains?

Question

IT education

I want to enroll in a software tester course. Are Geekbrains educational courses any good? There are a lot of reviews about them on the Internet and mostly bad ones. I want to enter IT and as far as I understand, testing is one of the most accessible doors. I am a little familiar with testing, I am a member of the VK testers program in which I have reported several dozen bugs.

Answer 1

Are Geekbrains educational courses any good?

Amazing, what is it?
In vain.
Although, if you turned on your head and thought about the quality of Geekbrain, then perhaps something will work out. Most go like sheep, wherever the marketer calls.
Never sign up for hyped "courses" about which advertising climbs from all the cracks. All the Geekbrain loot was scammed into marketing, and the blatant lie about "employment after the course" is fraud and deceit.
Don't get fooled. Go on internships with vendors, I conducted DrWeb testing not so long ago, even paid something.

Answer 2

Everything in these courses is available for free. If you have extra money and no motivation to study on your own, then the courses are quite suitable. But you must understand that after completing the courses, you need to continue to study and improve, since after them it will probably still be far from June.

Answer 3

You know, here you can choose, they will probably teach you better there, you can ask all the questions and get answers to them, but you understand, all these courses just take money from fools, all this can be found in the public domain if you can’t find something in Russian - English for help! I myself am a single programmer and I study myself, I even like it more than studying as a team. No one will make a programmer out of you if not you yourself, the programmer must develop himself and go towards this and not to be taught everything himself, of course, studying is well, because there you don’t need to rummage through the Internet in search of textbooks and knowledge, but I’m more than sure that all this is cutting money, like you, there are thousands of good fellows, but only hundreds become normal programmers.
