From "no callbacks" to job offers.
Real feedback from PDE graduates, shared under their ISOP Success Story number to protect student privacy. Every story below is someone's first IT job after completing PDE.
Before PDE I sent over 100 applications with zero interviews. After the CV review and mock interview, I had two Helpdesk interviews within a month — and an offer soon after.
The Helpdesk Role Fundamentals session was nothing like a textbook — we walked through real daily scenarios I ended up seeing again in my first week on the job.
Doing the Internship track gave me something no course certificate could: real, hands-on experience to put on my CV.
Milan didn't just review my CV — he explained exactly why recruiters were skipping past it, and how to fix it. That one session changed everything.
As someone in the Nepali diaspora in Australia, I didn't know how the local IT job market worked. The job-market session alone was worth the course.
The mock interview was more nerve-wracking than my real one — which meant the real one felt easy by comparison.
