Manual testing is where every QA career begins, and it's a genuine entry point into tech without heavy coding. This course teaches the testing lifecycle, writing and running test cases, logging defects, and thinking critically about software quality. It's practical and job-focused from the first session.
Over roughly 6 weeks, this Manual Software Testing course gets you doing real work early. Every release needs testing before it ships, which keeps QA engineers essential on every serious software team.
You will log and track defects and understand the full QA process, guided by an instructor who has done this work professionally.
Because it’s taught live and personally, questions get answered the moment they come up.
