Software Testing Education That Actually Prepares You

We've been teaching manual testing for eight years now, and honestly? Most training programs miss the point. They focus on theory while real projects demand practical judgment.

Our program runs differently. You'll spend most of your time working through actual test scenarios—the kind that show up in real development cycles. Think edge cases, user behavior prediction, and documentation that developers actually read.

Next cohort starts October 2025. Applications open in July.

Learning Happens Best Together

Testing isn't a solo activity in real jobs, so we don't teach it that way. You'll work in rotating teams throughout the program, mimicking how actual QA departments function.

Some of our best learning moments happen during peer reviews. When another student challenges your test case logic or catches something you missed, that's when the concepts really stick.

Weekly Team Testing Sessions

Every Wednesday evening, you'll join a small group to test a new scenario together. One person might focus on UI issues while another hunts for data validation problems. Then you compare notes.

Cross-Team Bug Verification

When your team reports a bug, another team attempts to reproduce it. This mirrors real development workflows where QA teams verify each other's findings before escalation.

Mentorship Circles

We pair newer students with those further along in the program. The advanced students get practice explaining concepts—which deepens their own understanding—while newcomers get guidance beyond instructor office hours.

Alumni Network Access

Past graduates remain active in our community channels. They share job postings, answer questions about interview prep, and occasionally guest lecture about their current projects.

What Students Value Most

  • Getting immediate feedback from peers who see problems differently than you do
  • Building professional relationships that continue after graduation
  • Learning how to communicate testing findings to non-technical team members
  • Understanding when to compromise on test coverage due to real-world time constraints
  • Developing confidence to question requirements that don't make sense
  • Practicing the documentation habits that experienced testers use daily
