I’m from the small town of Mahbubnagar in Telangana. I received my BSc in Statistics from Nizam College in Basheerbagh. After graduating, I felt lost in my career path. I wanted to get into the IT/software industry, but knew nothing about coding. I didn’t even know what an html tag was. So I started to research online courses and found Simplilearn’s Full Stack Java Developmer course. 

Many of my friends and relatives gave good feedback about Simplilearn. I did my research and found that Simplilearn’s course content is designed in a way that is in line with industry standards. The content is up-to-date and designed in a very beginner-friendly manner. So I decided to enroll. 

My Simplilearn experience: During the course and in job placement

The trainers helped me a lot. They were very experienced and answered all of my questions, no matter how small. The online sessions, live classes, self-study materials, and labs all helped me understand the concepts. The projects also gave me hands-on practical experience.

Right after the course, Simplilearn provided me with job assistance and referred me to various companies. I secured five interviews and was offered a job with Live Area. I now work with them as a Salesforce Developer.

I’m a professional with 16 years of technical and managerial experience. I completed my Bachelor of Technology in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Madras University, Chennai, and received my MBA through distance education in International Business from Pondicherry University. I started my career as escalation lead at CSS Corporation in Chennai, and then moved to HCL Technologies as a product engineer. I then joined NCR, where I worked for 12 years. I currently work in ERP implementation at HCL Technologies’ Chennai manufacturing plant. 

Once I moved to project management, I knew that a PMP® certification would help me improve my work delivery. Initially, I took an offline classroom course at an institute in Chennai, but I was unable to pass the PMP certification on my first attempt. I remember that day very well and how disappointed I was. Fortunately, my brother steered me to Simplilearn’s PMP Certification Training course. After reading reviews about the quality and flexibility of Simplilearn’s program, I enrolled.

My Simplilearn upskilling experience and the results

I found the course to be very well organized. I rate the instructors highly. I also appreciated Simplilearn’s support team members, who were available 24/7. Since I was traveling three-to-five hours on the train daily, I was able to make full use of Simplilearn’s mobile app. It helped me finish my course on time. After six months, I took the exam again and cleared PMP certification.  

After completing the course, I was assigned specialized project management responsibilities and promoted from assistant manager to project manager. My new skills and responsibilities also earned me a 40 percent salary hike. With the increase, I was better able to manage my finances. I could easily afford my sister’s wedding and my son’s college fees. Soon after that, I could also clear all my loans.

Having a child will change your career in more ways than one. Not only is there the time missed from taking maternity or paternity leave, but industry or technology changes can also put your career behind the curve. Thankfully, I found that Simplilearn’s online bootcamp gave me the tools and education to put my career back on a winning trajectory. 

My name is Radhika Joshi from Madhya Pradesh in Central India. I earned solid education credentials, including a Masters in Computer Applications (MCA). After gaining nearly two years of experience working in computer applications, I married in 2017. I shifted to Mumbai and then to Pune to live with my husband.

A year later, I got pregnant and had to leave my job at JMR Infotech. I couldn’t return to work after the delivery because our child was born prematurely. My leave led to a career gap of 3.5 years. When I finally decided to restart my career, once things at home started to settle, I discovered that the industry had transformed. I no longer had the skills needed to compete at the same level. I realized that I had to upskill myself to reenter the job market. In 2021, I began exploring the courses I would need.

During my research, I came across Simplilearn’s Full Stack Java Developer (Job Guarantee Program) and signed up in July 2021. It was ideal because it offered me a job guarantee, which I needed after being away from work. 

The course was beneficial, and the team of professional instructors cleared all of my doubts. Yes, taking the class and caring for our young child was initially tricky, but Simplilearn’s flexibility allowed me to carve out the necessary time to meet both priorities. I studied in the evening on weekdays, and on weekends, I studied in the morning.

Simplilearn provided me with full assistance in my job search after I completed the course. I secured a job with TCS with a 50% salary hike, and I received the designation of C1- Software Engineer — a nice increase in title that reflected my new talents. During my interview at TCS, they asked me questions about Spring Boot framework — an open-source, microservice-based Java web framework. I explained it very well during the interview using my experience in Simplilearn’s course and our capstone project.

The importance of upskilling

When I started applying for the jobs, I realized that there were a lot of changes in my sector. Whereas I had worked with Java only, other industry professionals had moved on to using frameworks, DevOps, and Angular Front End.

I realized I needed to upskill myself and enrolled in Simplilearn’s Full Stack Java Developer program to enhance my skills and get a job best suited to my talents.

I’m a senior research scientist with over a decade of experience. I earned a master’s degree with a specialization in microbiology in 2004. I started my career at a clinical stage biotech company, Aurigene Discovery, and then spent 10 years at Syngene. I then returned to Aurigene as a program manager.

Expanding My Horizons

I decided to upskill because I felt that I needed an upgrade. I started with Simplilearn’s PMP® certification and then went on to complete multiple other courses. While upskilling in project management was in alignment with my role as a senior scientist, I realized that all of my current reading was only related to the scientific field. I decided to expand my knowledge base by upskilling in the area of digital marketing with Simplilearn’s Digital Marketing 101 course. Learning the fundamental concepts of digital marketing, along with marketing for mobile and marketing analytics, provided an introduction to a field completely outside of my own. From there, I continued my upskilling journey by completing the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt course.

Flexible Learning Sealed the Deal

Adding a learning plan into an already busy personal and professional life requires a strategy. Simplilearn’s self-paced course model gave me the freedom to choose when and where I completed the courses. While I did not work from home for long during the 2020 lockdowns, I was able to fit upskilling into my days. Since I had a morning shift, I would have time in the afternoon to go through the course material and videos. 

I credit the flexible learning formats for helping me balance learning with home and work, even with a full-time job, family, and simultaneously completing an MBA program. While cooking or doing other household chores, I’d play the videos on the side and simultaneously go about my day while upskilling. The content design was great because all the videos were self-explanatory. The information came across so understandably that it actually allowed me to do something else while still listening and learning.

With already working as a technology leader, I wanted to do something bigger and better. I was looking for ways to expand my knowledge in the software industry and also grow as a person. Upskilling to learn about project management, definitely did the trick for me and even resulted in a new job.

Background 

I’m a software professional with over 15 years of experience in software industry. I was working as a technology leader in my last company, which was a product company in the Telecom and Healthcare domain.

Looking to grow in my career, I started looking for learning new things and came across Agile and Scrum as the most demanded in the project management field. I came across couple of articles on Agile methodology on internet. With Agile methodology in particular scrum methodology is the most effective methodology for developing complex software product in complex environment, I wanted to go into software project management. So I decided to take up a course in Agile Scrum methodology.

My career mantra is to always keep looking up and keep moving forward. I am constantly looking at how I can improve myself and how I can attain my next career goal. This is exactly how when I was faced with the opportunity of becoming a Scrum Master, I took it and haven’t looked back since. Here’s my journey of how I became a Scrum Master.

I have worked my way up ever since I began my professional career, starting as an SAP trainee with SoftSpin Services in Mumbai nearly 20 years ago. Learning on the job came naturally to me. I always make a conscious effort to learn something of value from everyone I encounter—not just at work, but in daily life. This spirit of lifelong learning is exactly how I came into contact with Simplilearn.

I believe a lot can be learned just by doing it in your regular course of work, but sometimes it’s necessary to take a more structured approach to learn, especially when it involves a standardized methodology such as Agile Scrum. For an agile organization to run like a well-oiled machine, you can’t simply wing it. Everyone needs to be on the same page to reap its many benefits.

That is why Simplilearn was the answer to all my problems. A two-day Certified ScrumMaster® (CSM) Certification training course gave me the confidence to excel in my career and that was just the beginning. 

The Challenge: Taking On the Role of ScrumMaster

With my mantra in mind, I have advanced through the ranks as a professional software engineer to become a program manager since graduating in 2001 with a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering. I worked with SAP software (and the ABAP programming language specifically) at SoftSpin for a couple of years before moving on to a series of senior-level software engineer and management-level jobs. 

I joined Mercedes-Benz R&D India as a Program Manager for the Service Operation team. My work focused on SAP and financial services, which was my forte, but my manager knew I wanted to keep growing and taking on more ambitious roles. She asked me whether I wanted to take on the role of ScrumMaster. 

ScrumMasters have a lot of responsibility. They coordinate the various activities comprising a given project with business objectives (bringing a new software release to market, for example), ensuring the project is done right and delivered on time. They host meetings and maintain multiple lines of communication to make sure everyone has the information and resources they need—when they need it. It’s similar to the role of a movie director, although it’s typically applied to technology projects that involve large, multidisciplinary teams.

I was awed by my manager’s confidence in me but I was a little skeptical about making the transition right away, as I only knew the basics of the Agile methodology. So, I decided that the best option for me was to pursue formal certification as a ScrumMaster. After extensive research and multiple recommendations, I found Simplilearn. They had exactly what I had been looking for to help me become a ScrumMaster.
