Frequently Asked Questions

Can I start individual training from scratch?

Yes, it is possible, and it is effective, especially when you prefer a personalized approach and set specific educational goals for yourself. A trainer will help you smoothly dig into the terms and tools, and you will always have a chance to ask a question if something is not clear. In general, it will be a much calmer and less formal training compared to group studies. 

How long is this individual QA training for?

Following this format, we don’t set exact time frames. During the first consultation, they will help you to define how to create your schedule and a course plan adapted to your needs. One and the same course plan can be done during a month or 2-3 months, depending on the course intensity and classes frequency.  

Who is going to be my trainer?

It is going to be one of our trainers who we will select regarding your needs. You will be taught by a working tester who has been involved in QA for more than 3 years and who can share their experience, acquired on real projects, with you. 

What does a tester do at work?

A tester provides software quality. They observe if an app, a website or a game works as it is designed. At the same time, a tester is needed not only during software development. Websites and apps are constantly updated and before each update is released it should be carefully tested. This is an ongoing process. Thus, in the near future a tester will always have some work tasks. 

Where can I work after the individual testing training?

In general, you have two ways. The first one is to get a job with a QA company which provides testing for their clients. The second one is to become a tester in the company which creates their own software. These can be various spheres, from fitness trackers to banks. 

What is QA Academy and why is it worth taking a course here?

We have been preparing testers since 2013. At first, we taught people specially for employment with our main company a1qa. Then, the number of those who wanted to study grew significantly and we opened doors even for those who were not going to work for us – they came to study with us. As a result, now we have about 10,000 graduates from all over the world. We still specialize only in testing, and we know for sure that we are doing our best as only working experts, who are out of touch with reality, are teaching our students.
