Top Notch Instructors
What really impressed me was how communicative and supportive the instructors were. Every time I had a problem or question they would always be there to provide me with assistance. Also the flexibility was great as I did the boot camp while still being able to work a full time job to pay my bills. - Brad GentileStudent • Software QA Engineering • OnlineMar 23, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Overall great experience.
Wasn't sure what I was getting in to at first, but it was a great experience. They present a lot of information in a clear and understandable way. Staff is all supportive and very helpful. The internship was even better getting to use programs hands on that wasn't as overwhelming as I thought it would be. As each week passed I felt more and more comfortable moving forward in a manual QA career. - GalitGraduate • Software QA Engineering • OnlineMar 22, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The best training!
I am a careerist student. I had no prior knowledge about QA. They taught me everything and now I am more confident. The nest part is someone is always there if you have a question. They will not move forward until your question is answered. I am almost done. My mentor is amazing, making sure I have all the tools needed to do well on my interviews. The internship was a great experience as well. I really felt like I was apart of the team. - Kyle Robert FullerGraduate • Sales Engineering bootcamp • OnlineMar 22, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

Fun, exciting, informative, understanding
During the course I was nervous of learning something completely new. Once I started to get a routine done and completing the tasks, the nerves went away. The instructors were great and very helpful. They answered every questioned I had and covered everything I would need to know. I appreciate the experience and would highly recommend this course to others.
