Software testing
- is it easy?
Why is the IT industry open to me?
Because software development today needs all kinds of professionals
The software development market is facing a big shortage of qualified specialists.
And there aren't enough QA testers. But their work is very important — the quality of the final program or service depends on them. At the same time, software testers don't need a technical education. Good QA courses are enough.

I've been told that software testing is the easiest entry point into IT.
Is this true?
Is this true?
Not really. It is really easy to become a software tester, "who checks that the buttons are properly displayed and pressed". But it is difficult to find a job for such a specialist.
Becoming a QA-specialist who, for example, understands Linux or debugging of three-level applications, is more difficult.
But his career prospects are much better.

Oh, then it's probably not for me. I'm 35 now, and I've never had any experience with computers.
There is no need to make any hasty decisions.
35 is the average age of our students. For example, in our experience, former teachers and accountants make the best software testers.

How do I know then that testing is really mine?
First, you can watch the video QA mentor says: What signs can help you realize that testing is for you? and other videos on our channel.
Second, we do a free orientation with every applicant. For those who don't qualify for testing, we're honest and say so (and they save their time and money).
For the rest, we help them start a new, exciting and enjoyable stage in life.

For the rest, we help them start a new, exciting and enjoyable stage in life.
But because of the crisis and competition from other courses, finding a job in IT is no longer as easy as it used to be?
Yes, in recent years there have been more graduates of QA courses. But there are very few really qualified ones among them. And companies, as before, find it difficult to find prospective software testers.
That is why we make a course that is unlike the others.
That is why we make a course that is unlike the others.
How is it different?
It is built on a professional, not a commercial approach to education. It's not easy to learn, but it's easy to find a job afterwards (not the other way around).
Why are you sure this is the way to do it?
We are QA-mentors with 10 to 25 years of experience in international IT. We've worked in dozens of companies, and many junks have passed through us. And we know how to get it right.

We asked our QA mentor to talk about the curriculum and how each module will benefit you:
What will I be able to work with?
If there are too few tools in the training program, there won't be enough of them to work with. If there are too many, they will be hard to learn, and all of them will be weeded out of your head before the first interview.
Here is the optimal set:
Here is the optimal set:
What about automation? I didn't see anything about it in the course curriculum.
The detailed answer to this question is:
What about mobile app testing?
Mobile applications are not included in the program for the same reason as automation.
During 4 months with the load within 15 hours per week it is realistic to study and consolidate in practice only the standard QA-knowledge on the test-design, requirements, documentation, testing levels, databases, three-link architecture, Linux, networks, services, development methodologies, and automation starts. If they are studied qualitatively, it is more than enough to get your first job.

If they are studied qualitatively, it is more than enough to get your first job.
But I've seen a course where in 4 months with several classes a week they go through both the basics of testing, automation, and mobile app testing.
As practice shows, with this approach graduates do not know how to do manual testing properly, nor how to automate, nor how to test mobile applications.
It is like a musician learning to play all instruments at once, and a doctor learning how to treat teeth and perform brain surgery. Such a doctor would not be hired in dentistry or neurosurgery.
We recommend starting to learn mobile testing and automation after 6-12 months as a manual tester. In the long run, it will be both more efficient and cheaper.

Is web application testing, APIs being studied?
Yes. And at the deepest level, including troubleshooting and localization of defects in three-link applications. This is a serious advantage our graduates have over their competitors from other courses.

How professional QA education differs from commercial education
The 4 main differences
in professional education:
COMMERCIAL APPROACH
✓ 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

PROFESSIONAL APPROACH
✓ mentors motivation: improving the quality of IT professionals in the marketplace
✓ 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

And a little more from our chief mentor:
In a year, as a professional QA-school, we graduate about 100 QA. Why so few? Because we try to be the Harvard of QA courses and focus on quality, not quantity

What will you get from studying on a professional QA course
The top 10 qualities of your studies,
when you study at a professional QA school:
when you study at a professional QA school:
- 1. Only you come firstlessons in groups of maximum 15 students, where feedback is given to you, not to the flow of 100+ people
- 2. Only top mentorsstrictly selected mentors - current technical specialists of international IT companies with 10 to 25 years of experience, who are involved in recruiting testers in their companies and know the most current requirements in the QA market
- 3. Only qualitylive lectures adjusted to the specific group
- 4. Only your full confidenceentrance tests to evaluate yourself, the complexity of the course, and avoid wasting time/money
- 5. Only direct connectionhomework is checked by a lecturer, not by an inexperienced assistant
- 6. Only effective learninga three-level model of learning "from simple to complex" with an interactive QA-textbook of 500+ pages to help better absorb the material (and prepare for interviews)
- 7. Only results-based learninga lot of practice: quizzes in the textbook, practice in class, challenging homework, internships
- 8. Only economical and convenient educationpractice takes place in a cloud sandbox - any home computer will do, and you watch lectures and make quizzes in iOS/Android-application of LMS
- 9. Only a working resumea two-month internship by a full QA on a real business project, which will give you the first experience
- 10. Only like in lifethe final exam is like a real individual interview, and then there's vigorous job mentoring (and job security for excellent students)
What is an interactive QA tutorial?
This is a special textbook we developed to facilitate the learning process of students.
In the three-level model of teaching, all materials are divided into three levels:
1. Easy-to-learn basic material on the topic.
2. Advanced material.
3. A challenging homework assignment at the end.
Now you don't have to be stressed by immediately starting difficult material of which you understand nothing at all, and you can move with a gradual increase in the load.
Within the framework of this model, we have developed the 100-Year QA-Textbook.
100-Year QA-Textbook is an interactive textbook containing 42 modules, 42 online-tests, 500+ pages with basic knowledge (yes, 500 pages is only software testing base) on test design, requirements, documentation, testing levels, databases, three-tier architecture, Linux, networks, services, development methodologies and automation basics.
The textbook is used to prepare students for lectures, to facilitate their understanding of the material, and to prepare them for their first interviews with employers.

Still, what evidence is there that the course is working?
The quality of any course is measured by two parameters: the number of applicants who successfully reach graduation. And the number of graduates who are successfully employed.
For an ordinary online QA course, how many students who start actually go on to take the final exam?
Some online courses achieve up to 50%. Some courses have a graduation rate less than 30%.
And those who don't reach the finish line face a long and painful procedure to get a partial refund of their tuition. You've probably seen reviews of such QA courses.
At Mentorpiece, more than 90% of students reach and pass the final exam. This notable outcome is the result of all of the above — we have living mentors with more than 10 years of experience in the industry. Each student is in a group of no more than 15 highly motivated fellow students. During an entrance interview with a mentor and entrance exam, each student makes a conscious decision and demonstrates willingness to successfully dive into this new profession.
By the way, entrance testing also helps to avoid unnecessary loss of time and money for those for whom training would be too difficult.

How many graduates end up getting jobs?
85%
When our students graduate, we don't send them to a Career Development Center to learn how to google for job listings. Mentors, with whom the student is familiar from the first lesson, work toward the desired outcome: they help with resume writing, hold a practice interview, help to choose promising positions, and help until employment is found.
85% of students in the last two cohorts found work in IT.
85% of students in the last two cohorts found work in IT.
In general, is there an objective indicator of the quality of courses?
Yes. It is about whether the QA school is doing the training for the employees of the IT companies or not.
Students who are just entering the IT field are not always in a position to objectively assess the quality of the course. Even after graduation. It may take a year after they start employment before they can tell whether it was really the best and high-quality.
But it's a good sign that well-known IT companies with their own experienced in-house QA experts take advantage of the course.

Studying for your results
Work for your happy ending
- Our top QA experts will send you straight to the big leaguesThe best QA courses don't involve learning from people teaching theory or practice with just 4-5 years of experience.
We only hire QA mentors with 10+ years of IT experience. Mentorpiece does not try to teach everything at once. We specialize exclusively in QA and testing. As a result, your instruction comes from carefully selected mentors who are current technical managers at the largest global IT companies, who are involved in hiring testers at their companies. - A live high-quality course with feedback, where the focus is on you, not a crowd of 100 peopleYou're not paying for access to year-old webinars made by a teacher who never checks the homework.
This is a genuine live QA course with living, breathing teachers. They teach the latest theory, adapt the course for each specific group, lead practical exercises, answer questions, guide and support students, check homework, provide grades, and conduct exams.
Our groups are limited to 15 motivated students, not 30, 40, or even 300 people put into groups on some platforms. That means you won't be working with a host of instructors, supervisors, tutors, assistants, coordinators, and technical support specialists, but rather just a few QA experts. This dedicated team can give you the attention you need along with high-quality feedback. - An internship working on a real project that will make you shine in the eyes of your future employerCan you become a specialist without working on a real project?
At Mentorpiece, we believe that software testing courses that don't offer this leave much to be desired.
That's why our students complete internships on a live project.
During your training, you will gain experience testing real software as part of a real project. You can add this work to your resume.
More about our internships:
The CEO of a California company was so pleased with the work of Mentorpiece graduates at the internship that he recorded a video review:
If the resume of yesterday's QA-student is not "empty", but demonstrates the acquisition of practical experience in a real business project, then such a graduate has no problem finding a job within 2-3 months of active search.
The result is that more than 85% both pass the exams and successfully find employment in IT.
All this gives us the confidence to say that Mentorpiece offers the best QA courses for would-be testers. And that we will help you confidently enter the IT field.

That's why we have detailed answers to all possible questions:
Is the profession right for me?
The QA profession isn't for everyone. It requires a special mindset. Of course, if we ask you whether becoming a doctor, accountant or interior designer is for everyone, what would you say?
If you doubt whether the QA profession is right for you, contact our mentors. We'll arrange a free individual session for you and give you recommendations.
Is it possible to learn the profession in less than six months?
Yes, it is. You can learn everything you need to get a job as a junior tester, provided of course that you carefully participate in the lectures and do all your homework. We will help and guide you.
How much can I expect to earn after graduation?
Salaries for junior testers start from $56'000/year in US, £35'000/year in UK, €2'000/month EU.
I am 35 years old. Is it too late to learn how to test?
35 is the average age of our students. See the video "QA mentor's speech: What age could I become a QA?"
I'm a teacher (accountant). Wouldn't I have a hard time in testing?
The professions listed above are the easiest to find in testing.
How many graduates actually find jobs?
85% of our graduates land a job within a month after graduation.

Yes, it is. You can learn everything you need to get a job as a junior tester, provided of course that you carefully participate in the lectures and do all your homework. We will help and guide you.
How much can I expect to earn after graduation?
Salaries for junior testers start from $56'000/year in US, £35'000/year in UK, €2'000/month EU.
I am 35 years old. Is it too late to learn how to test?
35 is the average age of our students. See the video "QA mentor's speech: What age could I become a QA?"
I'm a teacher (accountant). Wouldn't I have a hard time in testing?
The professions listed above are the easiest to find in testing.
How many graduates actually find jobs?
85% of our graduates land a job within a month after graduation.
How difficult is it to learn in English?
To learn from a course delivered in English, you don't need to be good at English across all topics. It's enough to know technical English.
Technical English differs from 'regular' English in the following ways:
• Relatively limited vocabulary. The relevant technical English amounts to a few thousand words. By way of comparison, the Oxford English Dictionary contains over 170,000 common words.
• Good communication in technical English does not require mastery of all 12 tenses.
What if my English definitely leaves something to be desired?
First, you need to determine your level of proficiency. If you have never studied English at all, then yes, you will first have to learn it to the B1 (Intermediate) level.
If you have studied English but you are unsure whether your language skills are good enough, sign up to chat with a QA mentor at the bottom of this page. Or you can be tested at our monthly English for Would-Be Testers course.

Who is this course for?
This course is for everyone who is ready to learn a new specialization. Basic knowledge of programming is not required. It will help to have a little understanding of how programs, networks, operating systems, etc. fit together, but this is also not a prerequisite. We will teach you everything. We've had accountants, doctors and students in our groups — and they all found work as software testers. The main thing is your interest and motivation to learn.
I have never programmed. What should I do?
No big deal. Our course does not require programming. We teach manual testing and related knowledge. And you can learn how to program later in a course on test automation (if you really desire).
Do I need to have a technical background?
No. What's more, we know plenty of successful highly professional testers whose education is in the humanities, medicine, or art, or even entirely absent. If you're tired of your current job and know that it's not for you, then join us! Maybe we will help you find something you'll love without additional higher education?
Why is the course 4+2 months? I have seen a two-month course and it is much cheaper.
In two months you can learn the profession of a software tester only with a load of 40-50 hours per week. That is, the classes must go every day.
Otherwise, the knowledge gained will not be enough to get a job.
Why is the course 4+2 months? I've seen a year-long course, and it has automation and mobile testing. And I want maximum quality and a great career.
Learning an applied specialty like testing for longer than six months is inefficient. All the knowledge you acquire must be turned into skills in practical work, otherwise it will be forgotten.
If you start studying automation right after learning manual testing, then manual testing will be forgotten.
We recommend that you start learning mobile testing and automation after 6-12 months as a manual tester. In the end, it will be both more efficient and cheaper.
What equipment is required?
A computer or laptop with internet access. Some of the lectures on theory you can listen to on your phone, but there are very few of them. You will usually be required to complete hands-on exercises that the teacher assigns in class. And a webcam won't hurt — interaction during lectures is far more pleasant when you can see the person you're talking to. But if you're shy, you don't have to use a webcam.
How modern does a computer/laptop have to be?
Practically any computer will do. You can watch lectures and do quizzes even from your phone, in the OS/Android application for LMS. Practical classes are held in a cloud sandbox, on a special server.
Do I need any paid programs?
No, everything we use requires no additional payment from students. We'll give you a complete list of programs at the orientation session.
I see that the course is on Linux, but I have a Windows laptop
That is not a problem. The Linux lessons take place in a cloud sandbox, on a special server. You can also use the Linux emulator in your browser.
How hard can it be?
If you have an inquisitive mind, if you like to look into details, if you liked to break toys as a kid to see what's inside them, if you are ready to learn and do your homework on time - it won't be hard, it will be interesting and fun 🙂

Who will teach me?
All your QA mentors are working professionals who are team leads, area leaders, or QA department heads. They all love and know how to teach. We don't hire people with less than 10 years of QA experience or no teaching experience. We know you want only the best.
How and when will I study?
Your online classes will take place on weekdays. During the orientation session, the group decides the specific time and days. We don't want you to miss lectures because of a workout, or even worse — to miss your workout because of the lectures. So we try to adjust the schedule as much as possible to accommodate students.
Can I combine this with work?
Yes, our students are almost always already working. We've even had a doctor who managed to combine his QA studies with his shifts at the clinic. That is precisely why we hold classes on weekday evenings.
How does the training take place?
The training consists of live online classes, where you can freely communicate with the QA mentor on the topic of the lesson, ask questions and ask for clarification if you don't quite understand the explanation. After class, you will receive homework to reinforce the lesson material, which the mentor will check later. All lectures are recorded and posted to LMS, so you can review them later if you want to refresh your memory of certain points. If you miss a lecture (it's best not to do this, but we understand that things happen), you can also watch it on LMS.
How difficult is this?
You probably noticed that this question was asked already. Well, well done! You're very observant. Let us repeat: if you have a curious mind, then it will not be difficult. It will be interesting! 🙂
How much time is required for my studies?
Online classes are held twice a week for 2-3 hours.
Before the class, you must go through the appropriate chapter of the QA-textbook. This usually takes about 2 hours.
After each class you need about 2 hours of practical homework (if, of course, you were at the class and listened carefully to the teacher, and even better - asked tricky questions).
Total - in the range of 15 hours per week.
If you keep up the pace, a new life opens up. 🙂
Will I be able to interact with the mentors?
Of course! You will be able to communicate with the QA mentors during the live lectures — using your voice instead of chat. We love extra questions and are happy to answer them, even if they are slightly off topic. Additionally, we'll add you to the chat for the course, where you can ask any questions about the lectures or homework. Homework or lectures can also be discussed on LMS, where mentors will respond to you directly.
What should I do if I can't handle the load?
First of all, immediately reach out to the mentors and let them know you're struggling. Together we'll try to figure out the point at which things stopped making sense to you and whether we can help. Additional explanations from the QA mentors are usually enough to catch up with the curriculum. If there is a force majeure and you cannot continue your studies, be sure to contact us too. We will, of course, refund your money for any missed lectures and internship classes.

What is the internship like?
This is your real-world work. You're still a student, but your tasks will be quite real. You'll develop software using an agile methodology, analyze requirements, communicate with your team, run tests, and log bugs. In a word, you'll work. For the first couple of weeks, your QA mentor will be your lead, but later you will be able to become one yourself — to help your peers and check their work. Naturally, the QA mentors will still be around, but you can take on the responsibility and then mention it in your resume.
How is an internship different from a field study?
The ratio of study and work. Typically, an internship is 70% work and 30% study, while a field study is the other way around. But that doesn't mean that our internship will make you listen to lectures again instead of working. It's just that the QA mentors will be nearby while you work.
What does it look like?
Like a tester's normal job. In the morning, you have a stand-up, where the team discusses the plan for the day, asks questions, and reports their problems, if any. Then comes work, communication, clarification of details, analysis of documentation, etc. In the evening, you'll have a session with an QA mentor, get answers to any questions, and review your test cases.
Do I have to relocate somewhere for my internship?
No. We always organize remote internships for our students.
You can find out how our internships go in the video "Three internships of 2022: а Californian startup, finance, а manufacture of windows".
What is the workload like during the internship?
You determine the load yourself, but the more time you devote to your work, the faster you'll learn and the more you'll get out of the internship. Ideally, you will commit 4 to 8 hours on weekdays. But we understand that you are likely currently employed, so you should devote at least 1 hour per weekday and 3 hours per day on weekends.
Is an internship compulsory?
No, internships are not required. In fact, many students with good grades find jobs even before the internship begins.
But if you don't do the internship, we can't help you get a job because you won't have an important line on your resume.
Why is the internship free?
We are interested in maximizing the quality of the course, not stretching it. That's why in every cohort some students find a job before the internship even begins. The rest of the students get the opportunity to hone their skills and knowledge during internship free of charge - we hire the most experienced internship leader either at our expense or at the expense of the client.

What will I become at the end of the course?
After you graduate, you will be a Pre-Middle Software Tester. The name of the "grade" depends, in fact, on the company where you get the job. Middle at one company may be called Junior at another - although, in essence, the tasks will be about the same level of complexity.
What type of certificate do you award?
We award a certificate of completion for the Manual Testing + Internship course, signed by the mentors and the head of the school.
Will I be able to find a job after graduation?
85% of our graduates find a job within three months of graduation. To assist your job search, we conduct a mock interview at the end of your studies. We always provide feedback and will help your draw up you resume. In one funny case, one of our students failed our mock interview on his first attempt. He scheduled a retake one week later but found a real job in the meantime. But he showed up for the retake anyway 🙂
Do you help with resumes and cover letters?
Yes.
What is a vigorous job mentorship?
The job market is competitive. Not everyone who wants a job will find one, even if they are prepared. Those who are both prepared and active will find jobs. We can give knowledge, we can train, but we can't give activity.
On this basis, each graduate must make a certain number of responses each week. He or she can discuss questionable jobs, test assignments, etc. with the mentor on duty.
If the graduate stops making the required number of responses, the job mentorship ends.
What does a video recommendation from the head mentor look like if I get a high score?
This is a personal video listing the graduate's positive qualities, which you can link to on your Linkedin page and on your resume.
Can I not start looking for a job right away after graduation?
As practice shows, the more time a graduate puts off finding a job, the more he forgets and the more his confidence drops.
Therefore, the search should begin no later than 30 days from the end of the internship.
How long does the tough job mentoring last?
Until you find a job (assuming you meet the required number of responses each week).

Price & possible discounts
I don't have a lot of money, and I need inexpensive training. But after graduation I want to find a job in IT in two, maximum three months.
Alas, quality cannot be cheap. Many of the trainees on inexpensive courses for a long time can not find a job and are forced to re-train.
At the same time, the cost of a quality course pays for itself in 3 months of QA.

But there is an opportunity to reduce the cost of studying:
But there is an opportunity to reduce the cost of studying:
- 10% discount if you prepay in full
- 10% discount if you make the first payment 2 months before the course beginsYou can pay for the entire course (increasing the previous discount), or you can pay only for the first month but still get a discount on the overall cost of the course.
- 5% cashback for you and a 5% discount for a friendA student who has paid for the course can get a promo code to give to a student who has not yet paid. The promo code grants a 5% discount on the course. The student who gives the promo code will receive cashback amounting to 5% of the course cost once the promo code recipient completes the course. Write to us.
- The discounts are cumulative
If I want an installment plan, should I go to the bank?
No, we give installments ourselves.
By the way, we always recommend paying attention to whether the course offers its own installments or only through the bank. This is also one of the indicators of its quality.
By the way, we always recommend paying attention to whether the course offers its own installments or only through the bank. This is also one of the indicators of its quality.
Why so?
As we said above, many courses drop more than 50% of their students. It is more profitable for such courses to send the student to the bank, to get the full amount of tuition from the bank at once, and if the student withdraws, to delay the refund process as long as possible.
I see. And then what about the case when the installment is from the course?
In this case, if a student decides to stop studying, he simply stops paying and no longer owes anyone anything. That is why this option is only offered by courses that are confident in quality and where the vast majority of students make it to graduation.

How not to waste
time and money
I would like to start studying to become a software tester, but I'm still not sure if this is my profession.
And there are still a number of questions about the profession and the course.
And there are still a number of questions about the profession and the course.
Building your career doesn't start with a sales manager. We want you to make an informed decision, and no one pressures you.
So let's start not with payment, but with a free orientation interview with a top QA-manager with 20+ years of experience, who has grown a lot of middles, leads.
How is it going?
The purpose of the orientation interview is to answer all of your questions and see if the profession is right for you. The interview allows you to find out all the questions, to understand "Is it mine?", "Can I do it?", to weigh all the pros and cons.
To make it easier to find an answer to this question, you need to do a small task beforehand. At the same time it will help you assess the format of the education.
To make it easier to find an answer to this question, you need to do a small task beforehand. At the same time it will help you assess the format of the education.
So I should already know something about software testing or IT?
No. You don't need any knowledge of IT, you need a certain mindset to do the task. You can be a humanitarians to pass the test. But a careful humanitarian.
What if I don't pass the orientation with a mentor?
It's impossible not to go through the orientation. 🙂 In the worst case, the mentor will recommend the necessary literature to study or offer to look in the direction of another IT-profession. In this case you will save money and half a year of your life for education and work, which would not make you happy and successful.
We don't want you to start learning rashly and fall off in the middle of the road.
And for you to be really sure that testing is your thing.
