  • 8 weeks
  • 24 live sessions
  • 36 live hours
  • 1 real-world project
  • Recordings included
The program

Go beyond traditional software testing. This instructor-led professional program develops practical quality engineering and SDET skills across modern web automation, APIs, databases, source control, CI/CD and AI-assisted testing.

Learners build the same real-world automation solution progressively from Week 1, applying each major concept as it is taught.

Do not just learn testing. Build a production-style automation framework from Week 1.

Most testing courses hand you a tool and a set of disconnected exercises. You finish able to write a script, and unable to explain how a suite stays green in a pipeline on a Friday afternoon.

This one builds a single framework across eight weeks: strategy first, then TypeScript, Playwright, APIs, data, CI, and finally the AI-assisted techniques that make maintenance survivable.

The real-world project

Build a production-style test automation framework

Learners test a realistic web application with user journeys, business rules and APIs. The project starts in Week 1 and grows with the curriculum, so each topic becomes part of the same automation solution.

  1. 01Create test strategy, scenarios and acceptance coverage
  2. 02Build a Playwright and TypeScript automation framework
  3. 03Automate critical UI user journeys
  4. 04Create reusable page objects, components and utilities
  5. 05Validate APIs and business responses
  6. 06Add SQL and data validation where applicable
  7. 07Integrate the suite with source control and CI/CD
  8. 08Use AI assistance for selected analysis, test generation and debugging
  9. 09Generate execution reports and analyse failures
  10. 10Present the final framework and testing approach

Live learning

How a 90-minute session runs

Learn. Build. Apply. Q&A.

  1. Learn. Every major concept is taught and demonstrated live.
  2. Build. Practise it immediately with the instructor present.
  3. Apply. Fold it into the same real-world project you started in Week 1.
  4. Q&A. Close each session by clearing blockers and setting next steps.

Connecting individual tools to a complete quality engineering workflow is the point; the project is what holds them together.

  1. 0–50 minConcept and live demonstrationTeach the topic and demonstrate practical implementation
  2. 50–75 minGuided hands-on and project workApply the topic to the ongoing project
  3. 75–90 minQ&A and troubleshootingResolve issues, recap and assign next steps

Learners continue project work and practice independently between live sessions. The 36 live hours are instructor-led time; independent practice is additional.

Who it is for

Built for practitioners, not spectators

  • Students and graduates preparing for QA automation careers
  • Manual testers transitioning into automation
  • QA engineers modernising their automation stack
  • Software professionals moving toward quality engineering and SDET roles
  • Developers who want stronger automated testing skills
  • Working professionals seeking Playwright, API and CI/CD experience

Marta has spent a decade making test suites that people trust enough to block a release on. Her teaching bias is unapologetically practical: a test that fails intermittently is worse than no test, a page object that hides too much is a liability, and the fastest way to learn a framework is to maintain one for eight weeks.

Certification

Certification

Academy certificate of completion

Learners who meet the academy's completion requirements receive a certificate of completion covering the program's scope and the project delivered.

Important. The academy issues its own completion certificate. Any official third-party or vendor certification exam is separate unless the enrolment page explicitly states otherwise.

Questions

Answers before you commit

Do I need automation experience?

No advanced automation experience is required. Basic software or testing familiarity is helpful. The program builds from foundations into modern automation.

Are classes live?

Yes. The program is delivered through live online instructor-led sessions. Recordings are available to enrolled learners.

Is this only a Playwright course?

No. Playwright is the primary web automation tool, but the program also covers TypeScript, APIs, SQL, Git, CI/CD and AI-assisted quality engineering.

When does the project start?

The project begins in Week 1 and is expanded throughout the eight-week cohort.

Is Selenium included?

The program focuses on a modern Playwright-based stack. The instructor may explain Selenium and legacy automation context where useful, but Selenium is not the primary framework.

Does the course include an official vendor certification?

The academy issues its own completion certificate. Any official third-party or vendor certification exam is separate unless the enrolment page explicitly states otherwise.

What if I miss a class?

Enrolled learners can use the session recording and course materials to catch up.

  • I came in writing manual test cases and left maintaining a Playwright suite that runs on every pull request. Having someone watch me debug a flaky test in real time was worth the whole fee.
