So far it is good. there is just a little challenge with the language at times when the word pronounciation loses me but i can sometimes quickly check the notes and get it right for clarity. Overall the experience is great and the learning is faster and much more understable. The combination of audio and text is perfect.

Sound quality is very bad in some lectures. The content is delivered at a very fast rate so you have to concentrate all the time. Some quiz questions at the end of the course are not answered in the lectures but are taken from other exam boards, you cant move on until you have selected the right answer.

Learning experience was very good. Instructor was very good and explained well. All the concepts were covered. Bonus lessons like ISTQB preparation and automation testing was very useful. All around the course was very good and interesting. Special thanks to the instructor!!

It was an amazing experience because I got in depth knowledge of all concepts with related practical examples and after completing particular section I evaluated my understanding of concepts with the help of quiz. Discussion about quiz results is another benefit to cover all ends of topics!! Really helpful for anyone who is interested in Software Testing.

I enjoyed the course. It was well structured and packed with relevant information about software testing. Instructors delivered as promised. It would be helpful to add more examples showing how software are tested in an actual corporate environment. I will happily recommend this training. Thank you.

It was my first attempt to learn online and it was really awesome.Well communication,engaging lecture are the key aspects of this tutorial.Quiz and Sectional notes ,to summarise the learnt topic is one of the best technique used. But at some points i felt that the topic can be well explained with the help of real life examples ,anyway you made your best presentation Pratibha.. Addition to that, I think Defect Life Cycle &STLC concepts must be in deep,as It is tough to understand. Thank You for your guidance and also putting awareness about ISTQB exam. Thank You, Renuka H. :-)

The course might be missing information on the Test Plan management tools, such as TestRail and TestLodge. More information on the execution of the test cases (Smoke test creating, Regression test creating, configurations of the used tools, etc) is needed.

I bought this course for my husband who wants to get into QA. I'm a QA Engineer and I watched this course with him to help him go over any questions. A lot of this material was pointless and the vocabulary is hardly ever used in real life. I would say almost 10% is useful but the narrator took a LONG time to explain something that she could have said much more simply. Her accent is so extremely thick that my husband would have been better off watching poorly made YouTube videos. I feel like I sent my kid to school and he came home with Common Core homework. Get a better narrator that speaks clearer, gets to the point, and doesn't ramble on about material that will be forfeited once someone gets their first QA job.

My friends were telling to join a different classroom training.. But since I live in a small town it would have been difficult to travel to nearby city daily for classroom trainings. This course saved me lot of travel and money too. I took the lectures from the comfort of my house. The lectures are crisp and clear. One suggestion is to include more hands on lectures. But its very well worth the money I paid. Will recommend it to my friends too.
