Career program
QA Tester & Manual Testing
Four months learning to break software on purpose and write it up so a developer can fix it. Testing principles, test cases, bug reports, Jira, API testing, and enough SQL and automation to keep growing. Good testers are permanently in short supply.
The syllabus
What we'll cover, in order.
4 months, project-based from week one. Each block ends with something built and working rather than a chapter finished.
Month 1
Testing principles and the SDLC
What testing is for, where it sits in how software gets built, and the vocabulary an interviewer will assume you already have.
Software testing principlesSDLC and STLCTypes of testingFunctional vs non-functionalRequirement analysisTest planning basicsMonth 2
Test case design and manual testing
Writing test cases that catch things: boundaries, edge cases, and the awkward paths real users always find.
Writing test casesEquivalence partitioningBoundary value analysisPositive and negative scenariosSmoke, sanity and regressionExploratory testingMonth 3
Bug reporting and QA tools
The part that decides whether a team respects you: a bug report a developer can reproduce on the first read.

Agile QA, SQL and first automation
Working the way real teams work, plus the two skills that move a manual tester's salary: databases and automation.

What you'll be able to do
- Turn a requirement into a test suite that finds real defects
- Write bug reports developers can act on without asking you questions
- Work inside an Agile sprint as the QA voice in the room
- Query a database to check whether the interface is telling the truth
What you'll build and keep
- A full test plan and test suite for a real web application
- A logged set of reproducible bug reports in Jira
- An API test collection in Postman
- SQL queries that verify what the interface is claiming
- A capstone QA report on a live product, start to finish
Every project is deployed and lives on your own GitHub, which is the part a recruiter opens.
Who it's for
- Non-programmers who want into software without months of syntax first
- Detail-obsessed people (that trait matters more here than your marks)
- Graduates who need a first IT job quickly, and a path onward from it
Prerequisites
No coding background needed. Careful reading and stubbornness are the real prerequisites. The SQL and automation in month four are taught from zero.

About the fee. These are the founding-batch fees, the price for our first intake, printed here exactly as it appears on our fee structure. Affordable EMI is available on every program; the instalment plan is worked out with you on the call, before you enrol. If you're not certain which program your money is best spent on, sit in on a free demo class first and ask us. We'd rather you picked the right one than the expensive one.
About the salaries. These are 2026 market ranges for freshers who have the skill, sourced from AmbitionBox, Glassdoor, Indeed and Naukri salary data, not from us. The lower end is a realistic first job at a service company or here in Punjab; the upper end is what product companies and metro startups pay when your portfolio is real and deployed. A certificate on its own gets you neither. We help you build the portfolio and prepare for the interviews. We don't promise a package, and you should walk out of any institute that does.
Other programs
Not sure this is the right one?
The programs overlap on purpose, so you can start with a shorter one and continue later without repeating anything. If you'd rather we just told you, book a free counselling session.
Sit in on a QA Tester & Manual Testing class before you decide.
The next batch starts 15 September 2026. Book a free demo, ask us the hard questions, then make up your mind.
