Method

What will I learn?

The Makers Quality Engineering bootcamp is designed to prepare you for success in a variety of high-demand tech roles, including Software Tester, QA Engineer, Test Automation Engineer, Performance Tester, Accessibility Tester, and Security Tester.

The Makers Quality Engineering bootcamp equips learners with cutting-edge testing skills, ensuring that software is secure, efficient, and reliable from development to deployment.

By the end of the course you should be able to:

  • Master software testing using manual and automated testing methods.
  • Ensure software quality by identifying and fixing defects early.
  • Work with key tools like Selenium, Postman, and GitHub for testing and collaboration.
  • Understand software architecture and how web applications function.
  • Be job-ready with the skills to thrive in a fast-paced tech environment.
  • Self-led learning

    At Makers, your goal is to learn how to teach yourself. You'll practise this skill, with our support, to get really good at it.

    Self-led learning is the most useful skill in a career in tech, which changes so fast. You'll face new challenges every day and have to solve them yourself - there won't always be someone there to tell you how to do it.

  • Learning in a team

    In your career in tech you'll work with other people to write software to solve problems. So, learning how to work with other people is as important as learning how to write code.

    At Makers, you'll spend a lot of time working in pairs and project teams. You'll also take part in our Emotional Intelligence curriculum, honing your soft skills.

  • Learning with experts

    Learning how to get the most out of your time with experts is another essential workplace skill.

    The Makers coaches are there to help you - they're the experts in the room - but it’s better when you try solving problems on your own first. If you're still stuck, then the coaches will be happy to help you get unstuck, but you should try your best to solve it yourself first, just like in the real world.
