Relevance of the profession
A tester is an IT company specialist whose task is to find errors and control the quality of sites, applications, interfaces, etc. That is, the tester tries on the role of the site user and evaluates the ease of use.
We used to be like everyone else -
still used that tech class of 20 people in a group.. But we noticed that the percentage of employed students has decreased.
This can be explained by several reasons: firstly, unfortunately, the situation in the country, and secondly, there are many one-day courses that promise a lot but deliver little.
And now everything is different
We have decided to radically change the training policy of our courses and make learning as effective as possible.
That’s why we offer semi-individual training in a group of 10 people.
Students receive more materials and tools
They practice and learn the material better

The course programme is based on 3 pillars:
Grammar: Passive Voice and Modal Verbs
Without understanding and confident use of these topics, competent writing of technical documentation and business correspondence is impossible.
Vocabulary: Must Have for IT specialist, IT Terminology, Irregular Verbs
After completing the course, students will be able to read and understand IT articles without a dictionary. During the classes, students not only read and translate IT texts, watch training videos and work with flashcards, but also practice their spoken English in dialogues and by answering questions from the teacher. The emphasis is on moving as many words as possible from passive to active vocabulary.
Preparation for the Job Interview:
Many hours of the course are devoted to preparing for the student’s upcoming job interview. We analyse the most frequently asked technical and personal questions and prepare and learn answers to them. At the end of the course, you will have a test of your knowledge and a “rehearsal” of a real interview.

Frequently asked questions
We think so, if you devote at least 10 hours a week to classes, do your homework, and communicate with your mentor. Then in 3 months, you will be able to master the skills of a tester, build a portfolio of projects, and start your career.
You just need to be an experienced PC user to get started.
No, you don’t. Our course is designed for those who have never worked in IT and have no idea about testing. We don’t require any programming knowledge at the initial stage. The programme is structured in such a way that you will acquire the skills of a professional tester while you are taking the course. If you have basic knowledge, the course will help you structure it and move on.
It is possible, in order to secure your place in the group, you need to pay 1,000 hryvnias before the start of training, then 7,000 hryvnias at the first lesson and the remaining amount (7,000 hryvnias) no later than the 10th lesson.
We make a video recording of each class, and you will also have access to the class summary and other course materials.
Yes, you can become a tester without knowing English, but this will limit your choice of companies and projects.
Definitely yes. Our course includes English lessons, which are included in the tuition fee. You can also learn English at the same time while studying at the course. To do this, it is best to take individual lessons with a tutor. As a result, in 3 months you will have learnt a relevant IT profession and will be able to raise your English level by one level.
Developers and testers may come from different backgrounds, but English is what unites them. To get into serious projects, you need to know English. Otherwise, you simply won’t be able to write a quality report on the defect found or communicate with the customer.
You do not need to have a state-of-the-art computer or laptop to take the course. Computer requirements for the course: RAM from 4 GB, intel core i3/i5/i7 processor, preferably not younger than the 3rd generation (or equivalent from AMD), free hard drive space of about 20 GB, operating system of your choice: Windows/Linux/MacOS.
All lecturers are practitioners at least at the Senior level, with at least 5 years of experience in leading companies.
