QA Training online
You deserve the best education
(not commercial) software testing education from top mentors
What is a professional approach to education and how does it differ from a commercial one?
Professional QA education has emerged as a response to the significant shortcomings of the commercial approach to education:
- Fact #17 out of 10 students in courses do NOT become software testers01
- Fact #2Bootcamps don't provide enough depth of knowledge02
- Fact #3Resumes without IT experience are the last to be considered03
Professional training is a close to individualized learning in groups of 10-15 rigorously screened students and QA mentors with a minimum of 10 years of IT experience.
The professional approach utilizes an uncompromising quality three-tiered training model. Theory in an interactive textbook, practical workshops in a group of 15 students, and a two-month internship on a real business project. This gives a completely different level of knowledge and skills compared to commercial training and completely different employment outcomes.
The 4 main differences
in professional education:
✓ mentors motivation: self-actualization and $
✓ the commercial interests of the school take precedence over the interests of the student
✓ enrollment after successful payment
✓ school KPIs: number of students, ROI
✓ mentors motivation: improving the quality of IT professionals in the market
✓ the interests of the student take precedence over the commercial interests of the school
✓ enrollment after a successful entrance exam
✓ school KPI: number of successful careers of graduates
Why do teachers in a professional QA school have no monetary motivation?
Why in the professional approach the success of the school is not measured by the number of students?

What exactly will it do for me as a QA student?
✓ No novice mentors "with 4-5 years of IT experience"
✓ No pre-recorded lectures.
✓ No "platform teaching in a Matrix for 100 people, where one person gives a lecture and the other checks the homework"
✓ No "a little theory, a little practice, and a thesis for a tick"
✓ No "If you find some work after the course, that's great".
All 10 qualities of your studies

We produce about 100 graduates a year. Why so few? Because we try to be the Harvard of QA courses and focus on quality, not quantity.
