QA Training & Workshops

Hands-on workshops that turn manual testers into modern, DevOps-aware automation engineers.

QA Training & Workshops

The Problem

The QA team lacks the technical skills to maintain the automation framework or debug pipelines.

The Solution

Targeted coaching sessions on your team's language and framework, Docker, CI/CD platforms, and automation patterns.

The Outcome

An empowered team capable of owning the entire quality pipeline.

What this looks like in practice

The role of a QA engineer is changing. Clicking through interfaces manually is no longer a viable long-term strategy for scaling teams. Your QA engineers need to learn code, infrastructure, and CI/CD concepts.

I provide hands-on workshops and mentorship to upskill traditional QA testers into modern, DevOps-aware automation engineers. The curriculum is built around your team's existing stack — whatever the language — so the lessons transfer to real PRs the next day.

Sessions are practical: real exercises, real PRs against your real codebase. By the end, your team owns the framework instead of being scared of it.

The deliverables

What's included

Skill assessment

Short interviews and a coding exercise to map current vs. target skills per engineer.

Modular curriculum

Test framework patterns in your team's language, Docker, CI/CD, and Git fundamentals — pick the modules you need.

Live workshops

Half-day or full-day, on-site or remote. Slide decks plus a live-code lab on each topic.

Pair-programming weeks

I sit with engineers (remotely) and ship real PRs together against your codebase.

Internal champions

I identify and coach 1–2 internal champions so the learning continues after I'm gone.

Progress tracking

A simple skills matrix per person so managers can see growth, not just attendance.

Frequently asked

Our team has no coding background. Is that a problem?+

Not at all — most workshops start there. The curriculum scales from absolute beginner to senior, by module.

On-site or remote?+

Both. On-site usually works best for kickoff workshops; pair-programming is comfortably remote.

How big a group works best?+

Workshops cap at ~10. Bigger groups split into cohorts so everyone gets keyboard time.
