Our Customers’ Testimonials

  • Emumba is a cutting-edge software technology firm that prides itself in its ability to attract and retain top talent and solve complex problems. SkipQ's thorough and effortless hiring process helped us in recruiting the best DevOps Engineers immediately. Since the engineers were already knowledgeable about AWS concepts, they started contributing on projects earlier than previous hires. We are very satisfied and will definitely recommend SkipQ to companies that want to hire great talent in a minimal timeframe.
    - Ayesha Khaliq, Engineering Manager - Emumba.

  • Roomy is a rapidly growing hospitality logistics tech SaaS company based in Islamabad. We are continuously seeking software developers as we build a product suite to automate and streamline business operations and improve experiences for our customers. SkipQ’s trained engineers passed our hiring bar. We look forward to hiring SkipQ trainees again!
    - Abdul Rehman Malik, CTO - Roomy.pk.

  • Xgrid provides a range of secure cloud infrastructure, devOps, cloud native application development and cloud operations services to top startups and Fortune 500 companies. SkipQ has significantly reduced the pain of hiring skilled software developers. While fresh graduates generally don’t know cloud or related concepts (e.g. CI/CD), SkipQ trainees were skilled in these topics. We hired all 3 SkipQ trainees we interviewed and would love to hire trainees from SkipQ’s next cohorts! - Saad Arshed, COO - Xgrid.

We have happy trainees who love us

  • “What’s amazing is that I enjoyed the journey more than the destination. I successfully pivoted from consultant to a hands-on engineer thanks to SkipQ, and landing a job with a company like Roomy is beyond my expectations.”

    Muhammad Mubashirullah Durrani SkipQ graduate and Software Engineer at Roomy

  • “I feel very proud to be part of the first batch of SkipQ and get the opportunity to work with people from the best software companies of the world. As much as my journey was challenging to work in a simulated industrial environment, it was an amazing learning experience towards DevOps and AWS services. SkipQ helped me to get a clear vision of my career along with scaling-up my skills to an industrial level and led my way to Roomy as a software Engineer.”

    Saira Fatima SkipQ graduate and Software Engineer at Roomy

  • “One of the best learning experiences I ever had. SkipQ equipped me with the skills for industrial projects using sprints and agile framework. It was a journey full of learning that started from a hello world lambda function to multi-stage CI/CD Pipelines. My advice to graduates: Do join SkipQ, you will have an amazing learning experience, you will meet top developers from Silicon Valley. After graduating from SkipQ you're going to land somewhere high and never compromise for anything low”

    Faheem Khan SkipQ graduate and Software Engineer at Xgrid

  • “It’s been a great experience getting trained at SkipQ. You get to interact with instructors from top academic institutions like UC Berkeley, Michigan State and TU Delft. You also get trained by developers with years of experience at Google, Amazon, Nvidia and Salesforce. Unlike traditional technical courses they create an industrial environment for you to work in. Moreover, cracking interviews of big tech companies required practice. They also prepare you for this by arranging mock interviews. I was job-ready and cleared my interview with Emumba with SkipQ's help.”

    Usama Ali SkipQ graduate and Software Engineer at Emumba

  • “Working with SkipQ was a life-changing experience for me. It was challenging and in turn rewarding. Their curriculum is well designed and focused. You will have a hands-on learning experience by following scrum frameworks, daily standups, and weekly demos. SkipQ not only focuses on technical skills but on soft skills too. They prepare you for interviews by taking mock interviews. Once you qualify for their course, SkipQ will arrange interviews with big IT companies. I was able to secure my job at Xgrid as a software engineer just by taking SkipQ's 8-week Cloud DevOps Program.”

    Muhammad Asghar Ali Qureshi SkipQ graduate and Software Engineer at Xgrid

SkipQ in the News

I would like to make mention of at least one [...] ed-tech/training startup ‘SkipQ’ (https://www.skipq.org/) that has identified this gap [between industry and academia] and developed a successful business model that addresses it [...] This model is working so well that multiple cohorts are pre-booked for hiring by employers.
