At Portnov Computer School we never did press releases before. We have just started 2-3 weeks ago with Cara joining our team from South Africa. She creates the wording of press releases and I develop the conceptual model for each.
There are many paid and free web sites where we can post press releases for sitting there and for being distributed to other web resources.
The reason I wanted to have press releases is very simple. When search Google for "Portnov Computer School" most of the search results are coming from garbage web sites, which use public information about businesses for creating their "records". Because of that out of first 20 search results 15 belong to nonsense web sites providing no value to users.
Published press releases have relatively high search results positioning. So far we have three:
- about Portnov Computer School moving to Los Altos
- availability of online "Testing Mobile Applications" class
- Portnov Computer School going online
If you search for the same "Portnov Computer School" string now the search results are going to be very different. Try it now.

Teacher evaluation form
We normally talk to students a lot about all the issues they face at all stages of the Career Change process. At the same time I feel the need for a private anonymous communication channel where students would express their concerns more openly.
So, we have an online form now for evaluation of teachers and classes. I think it could be used as well for all other issues.
The link to the form is located on the Data Page at the very bottom of it. Welcome!!!

Enforcing the housekeeping rules
At the previous location the only real challenge to us was dealing with lack of parking. We never ever had any problem with restrooms, for example.
Now we are situated in much nicer building with professional management company taking care of the things and neighbors expecting much higher level of building maintenance to be maintained.
Neighbors are complaining some times that restrooms are not as clean now as they were before we moved in. We are doing our best for being good neighbors. So, ladies and gentlemen, please make sure the restroom looks as nice when you leave as it was when you entered.
Besides that we are enforcing the NO FOOD, NO DRINKS policy outside the kitchen. The new campus will stay nice and professional for as long we maintain it that way. We do not want any food nor drinks on computers, carpets, linoleum, etc.
