Software Testing Automation Essentials
There is a strong demand in the industry for testers with practical experience ensuring software quality. We have designed our courses to include in-depth practical learning solutions, which in turn provides candidates with hands-on skills to be productive from day one.
In addition to teaching you manual testing we now include a test automation boot camp into the course which can really make a difference to your securing employment in this sector; Automation tools like Selenium are used widely in the software testing sector for web services testing. Understanding Cucumber, Jenkins, GitHub, and Jira (for working in an Agile environment) is an absolute must have. We cover all these on the course so you can be sure you are learning the right stuff to give your CV that boost it needs to go to the top of the pile …but more importantly you will have the knowledge to back it up.
This is why we have designed our course to be different from the others out there - This is not ISEB/IQSTB revision 101.
On this course if you haven't learnt how to analyse requirements, generate test cases and write test scripts at the end of the course then we are not doing our job.
If everything goes over your head first time...then we want you to come back again...for free!
In fact come back as many times as you like for up to 6 months.
If you really want that software testing job and you can put the effort in then we are here to make sure you get it.
So if you are looking at getting into the industry, then this is the software testing course for you. We cover the essentials you need to know in order to get started as a professional tester with practical hands-on experience.
Thereafter students will not only be able to make a good impression at any interview situation they will also gain the confidence to make a start in a successful testing career.
We are not debunking understanding the theory behind testing and of course it is important for students to develop an understanding of various testing techniques, fundamental testing terminology and if they wish to sit the ISEB Foundation exam .
We simply recognise that most people are able to pick up the theory on their own via the vast resources available online and other sources.
To this end we have a virtual learning zone that we give students access to upon registering for the course. We require that they spend some time exploring the material in here before attending the classroom part of the programme.
We also recommend the book opposite as additional reading material.
However, it's the application of the theory of testing that's not so obvious or readily available.
The practical approach we adopt for our software testing essentials course is exactly what you need to help you get a great job in this sector.

Project Experience and Mentoring Projects
We understand the challenges that most people looking for a career as a software tester or business analyst will face. The main problem is that even though you have had extensive training and are up to speed with all the theories and methodologies...what you lack is that solid end-to-end live project experience.
As part of this training programme, we are able to provide this work experience/Mentoring program that is embedded into the latter stages of course and not at the very end
Please note that the Practical Projects are run during the latter stages of course and not at the very end
Project 1: UI Automation- Ecommerce Domain Project using Cucumber and Selenium with at least 50 + test cases
Project 2: API Automation Project-Ecommerce Domain using Cucumber and Rest Assured-with at least 50 + test cases
Our Courses run on our Virtual Classroom platform
The Virtual Classroom is very much the same as the classroom version except its delivered via video conference; so you are training from the comfort of your own home rather than traveling to the centre.
All learners and tutors will login to our Virtual Classroom via Zoom.
On registration, we will give you access to our virtual learning zone prior to attending our course. You will find tons of documents, resources, exercises and tests to prepare you ahead of the practical classroom training. This resource area also Includes mock tests that will help you towards the ISEB/ ITSQB exam if you want to pursue this.
