One of the best schools for QA Engineers, with reasonable pricing. I completed the course and recommend it to all my friends and acquaintances. The groups are small; there were 12 of us. Throughout the course, we covered material that is sufficient to start working in a Junior position, with a lot of practical experience. After finishing the course, there was an internship on a real project. Overall, I highly recommend it! 👍
