Our take
Based on the ratings of 16,011 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in August 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.
Pavan Kumar's course is a full beginner path into Selenium test automation with Java. It runs about 102 hours across 72 lectures, so the average lecture is well over an hour. The first big block is Java, roughly 32 hours, followed by about 29 hours of WebDriver. After that come Apache POI, TestNG, Page Object Model, a hybrid framework project on an eCommerce app, Maven, Git and Jenkins, Cucumber and a short Docker bonus. It is aimed at manual testers and fresh graduates, and it assumes no Java.
Reviewers mostly praise the teaching. They say he explains the logic behind how things behave, covers even simple points, and starts from beginner level with real-life examples. One reviewer credits the project with giving a real feel for Selenium in a testing setup. The complaints are consistent too. One says the course is a recording of live classes, so the videos run long. Others say some demo websites no longer work, that it feels old, and that no code is provided. There are no quizzes or coding exercises.
Value is decent if there is time to spare. The course has 9,212 five-star and 5,658 four-star ratings, and it was last updated in August 2026. Cucumber gets only about five hours and CI just two lectures, so treat those as introductions. Patient beginners who like a slow, explain-everything style should be happy here. Anyone short on time may prefer something tighter and more current.
Pros
- Starts from zero Java, with about 32 hours of Java before WebDriver begins
- Reviewers say he explains the logic behind things, even the simple points
- Builds a hybrid framework project on an eCommerce app, then adds Jenkins and Cucumber
- Rated 4.6 across 16,011 reviews and last updated in August 2026
Cons
- Lectures are long, recorded from live classes, so progress feels slow
- Some demo websites reportedly no longer work, and one reviewer says no code is provided
- No quizzes or coding exercises, and Cucumber gets only about five hours
Excellent teaching! He clarified even simple things and explained the logic behind how things behave.
Listed as All Levels, but it really suits beginners and manual testers. No Java is needed, basic testing concepts help.

The Selenium course was well-structured and easy to follow. The hands-on exercises helped in understanding web automation concepts effectively. The instructor explained key topics such as WebDriver, locators, waits, and framework integration clearly. A few advanced real-world scenarios could have been covered in more depth, but overall it was a valuable learning experience for both beginners and intermediate learners

The concepts are taught very well with a project. This course helped me in getting experience of using Selenium in a Automation testing environment.
By Furkan Alkan on 3/10/2026
+ Very extended course and supported with resources folders + In depth training with no topic skips + Instructor is highly qualified -A bit repetitive and the instructor is dwelling on some topics too much as he is giving live courses also.
By Shantanu sharma on 2/13/2026
The pace can be a little fast a i am watching the videos on 2x but it still feels slow and the explanation part is kind of too long. Except this all the info provided are top notch and relative and the way he explains the topic is great but slow.
By Varun Kumar Jain T V on 2/11/2026
He is very knowledgeable and consistently shared all the documents related to whatever he explained on a daily basis. It is a great honor to learn from you, Pavan sir.
By Sudeep Raj on 1/26/2026
Mr. Pavan was very clear and went at a decent pace. The whole course was easy to understand and very thorough. This is best if you want to directly apply for a job afterwards.
By Kanaka Mereddy on 1/6/2026
I really like the way of explaining each topic in a most understandable way for beginners. After this course, I got the confidence and i can able to automate web application.
By Vishnu Naganandi on 12/7/2025
Very good content for beginner and also for experience person who wants to brush up their skills. Thank you so much sir for sharing knowledge.
