Got questions?

Things people actually ask

Do I need a tech background to get into QA?

No. QA is one of the most accessible entry points into tech. You need curiosity, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate clearly. I'll teach you the rest.

How long does it take to land a first job?

Realistically, 3–6 months of focused learning and job searching. It depends on how much time you put in and the market, but QA roles are one of the more achievable entry-level tech positions.

Is QA a dead-end career?

No — it's a launchpad. Many senior engineers, product managers, and engineering leads started in QA. The role is evolving fast with AI, which makes it more interesting, not less.
