Great course and I learnt a lot! Nikolay explains things very clearly and that is why I selected the course after reading prior recommendations and observations. Only thing that I had trouble with was sourcing the java files in github from the links provided in the lecture. Some of the java files do not map to the lecture content or appear to exist. But in saying that, that forced me to write the code while doing the lectures, which was ultimately more beneficial to myself.

That was a fantastic course. I managed to create my first automation test in only a week in my workplace. The instructor is fantastic and very knowledgeable. I'm not sure about total beginners in java, but if you have a wee bit of experience (the fundamentals I should say), this course is really easy to follow. Highly recommended!
By Ed Leonard on 7/8/2020
I am giving it a 2.5 star rating. The reasons are.
1) The java course is only about half the entire length of the course and there are loads of videos from the Csharp course (which isn't java) and are dated.
2) The java content is great, there's just not enough of it yet.
3) It feels like there's a huge multi-section piece of the course, case studies, compound practicing, indepth syntax coverage missing as yet and those sections being added would significantly increase the rating.
Overall I like Nikolay, he has a decent style, it's direct, confident etc.. I am totally prepared to revisit this review and rating if there is a subsequent content drop that does indeed provide the additional coverage and practice to deliver the promises. I expect there would be given this doesn't have the length or depth of other courses he's done and being the newest you wold expect an upgrade in how comprehensive a course is instead of an awful lot less in new content.
I think removing the old Csharp content would be a good start, it's a mixed message and makes the course seem disjointed and does a disservice to the new content which is good quality.
By Mateus Gheorghe on 6/16/2020
Such an awesome course! Highly recommend it to everyone! I had zero previous knowledge but now I can really feel I can become a Test Automation Engineer. The instructor does such a very good job, really easy to follow, a great teaching approach. Once again, I really recommend it!
By Aleksandra Bojarska on 6/9/2020

Nikolay is an excellent teacher! He explains in such a smooth way so I could understand everything! I would def recommend this course to any person who wants to learn Selenium WebDriver in a fast and effective way!
By Penyo Gochev on 5/9/2020
I came here with little prior knowledge, but I feel like an expert already! Nikolay is such a great teacher and a great guy! Everything is so nicely explained. I find all the content really excellent and useful. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning automation.
By Sarthak Singh on 4/16/2020
Absolutely shallow on content and explanation of best practices. I am forced to give a 2.5 start rating because his intents seemed to be earnest.
By Pooja kumari on 1/24/2020
I am not happy with course
By James Barton on 11/20/2019
Taught the best practice for web page, which will make your test maintainable and modular. Because things will change.
