Beginner to job-ready

Become a QA engineer. From scratch.

The QA Career Launchpad is a structured, mentor-led program for people starting a software testing career from scratch. You'll build real manual and automation testing skills on realistic projects, not toy examples, with a mentor guiding you the whole way, so you come out the other side with a portfolio and the confidence to apply for QA roles. No coding background or CS degree required, just the willingness to show up and practice.

How it works

Four phases, one job-ready QA engineer.

Typically completed over 8 to 10 weeks alongside live mentor-led sessions and hands-on project work, not a self-paced video course you forget about halfway through.

Phase 1

Testing Foundations

The SDLC, how testing fits into it, test case design, defect reporting, and getting comfortable with tools like Jira.

Phase 2

Manual Testing in Practice

Exploratory and scripted testing, test plans, cross-browser and device coverage, and the usability and accessibility basics every tester needs.

Phase 3

Test Automation

Automation fundamentals with Selenium and Playwright, writing and running automated suites, and enough API testing (Postman) and CI/CD basics to be useful on a real team.

Phase 4

Portfolio & Interview Prep

A capstone project you build end to end, portfolio review, and interview preparation so you can walk into QA interviews with something real to show.

Before you apply

What you need to get started.

No technical background required, just these basics, and the willingness to show up and practice.

A laptop or desktop computer

You'll need your own computer to follow along with live sessions and do the hands-on work. A phone or tablet alone won't be enough.

A stable internet connection

Live sessions and mentor check-ins happen online, so a reasonably reliable connection matters more than a fast one.

A smartphone

For WhatsApp/community updates and coordinating with your mentor between sessions.

A few hours a week

Expect to commit time outside live sessions for practice and project work. Consistency matters more than raw hours.

No prior tech experience needed

We start from zero. Basic computer literacy (browsing, email, installing apps) is all the technical background you need.

Comfort asking questions

This is mentor-led, not a video course. The beginners who get the most out of it are the ones who show up and ask.

Common questions

About the QA Career Launchpad

No. The QA Career Launchpad is built for complete beginners. We start from testing fundamentals and build up from there.
