Very informative, confirming some practices we already undertake as well as expanding the knowledge of those on the team with no background in software.

The course was run at a good pace with lots of chance for discussion around the exercises. Some of the course was out of date/irrelevant due to being written by an American - it would be good if this could be updated. There were also a few slides that were skimmed over as they were not required for the exam, so perhaps take out. I would have liked some exam practice incorporated into the course/homework so that we could have had a discussion around the answers.

The trainer was very good and made sure all delegates understood what he was saying. As there was a couple of areas I had never covered, he spent some time with me to ensure that I was happy to continue and could do the practice questions with my new understanding

The course is quite intense but I found that on my second round, as I had failed initially, was better explained. I felt like I was able to understand the terminologies a bit better. I also felt like John Young took the time to explain everything in layman's terms rather than going through the slides. his notes that he wrote on the slides did help to make the sessions more enjoyable.

Course was very detailed but John kept interest by being responsive and knowledgeable.

Well organised course content and delivery. The lessons focused on theoretical coverage and also on practice questions relevant to each day's content which I found very helpful and constructive. Homework was thought through for each day and that was a very effective method for me to revise.

Course was very dense but informative. It was delivered in a easy to comsue way by a knowledgable trainer

Rosie taught the course well, and she had a lot of knowledge on the subject. There was a good mix of theory and practical. Also, a good number of breaks!

Rosie was easy to understand and gave information in an easily digestible method. She was good at answering questions, and kept the whole group engaged.

John was really engaging, was open to questions, very supportive to our learning. I was really impressed by John's attitude and his ability to keep 8 people engaged throughout the course.

Very good course great walk through of the content. good conversation on where we got things wrong overall great course

Enjoyed the course & the trainer was very clear & helpful in explaining against the syllabus.

useful information , but some of it is very similar to the foundation course

Found the course very useful, learnt lots of new things that I did not know previously and it fulfilled all that I expected to learn.

Good course with a lot of useful information. Good extension from the Foundation course. Came out of it with as much information as expected. Trainer good, easy to understand and get along with.

The course was interesting and I have found a lot of the content useful for my role. The trainer was insightful, knowledgeable and kind. He made sure we were all okay and understood the content. The questions and scenarios helped to iron out and learn from any mistakes early. The online aspect did make the course slightly impersonal in terms of the other students, as we kept our cameras off and were mostly muted, so I sympathised with the trainer on that.

The theory was explained well, with examples, we did lot of exercises and we discussed them, the instructor was kind and patient. A negative point is that we are provided only a few questions, but it would be good to have lot of sets of questions that simulates an exam so that we could practice. Also when we speak about tools it would be useful to be given some examples.

The course way very informative and interesting, it helped reinforce my existing learning as well as introduce me to new things as well.

Course was excellent and learnt a lot - hopefully this will help me progress my carrer to bigger and better things. Rosie was excellent - knew what she was talking about - extremely friendly and approachable (some trainers are moody) it was a fun 3 days.

Trainer was friendly and approachable. She was clear and precise.

very good learnt some good techniques and the tutor was very knowledgable

As always, John was professional, explains topics well and is very patient - it was a difficult one to deliver with how quiet the group was, but he still made every effort to make sure that people were understanding the content, and was adapting the content to suit the audience. Very well done.

The trainer has a really good speaking voice which means you stay interested in what he is saying, the course overall was interesting as it went into more detail on ideas that I already had learnt about

The course was excellent, really informative with a lot of practical examples. Everything was explained in great detail, I also appreciate the extra notes that John adds when he explains, they are really useful. John is an excellent facilitator/teacher, hope that I can learn from him on my future courses.

I have had John for quite a few courses and it is always great! Thank you

I thought the course done very well in regards to expanding our knowledge of topics that we covered in the ISTQB Foundation course and took it to the next level and looked at more advanced techniques of testing. John Young was an exceptional presenter and took time to explain all the topics until we understood them clearly.

I liked the course and it definitely helped me understand why we now use some of the techniques when I am on projects. I would say the maybe for some of the activity TSG could make use of the break out rooms which would make the course nicer and breaks it up a bit. As the course was defiantly interactive but got a bit long when I had to do some of the task myself.

I felt that the course was very manageable and worked as a nice add on to the other courses.

Really enjoyed the course, very well delivered by John and I found the content the perfect level for an introduction to automation!

This course was really useful and enjoyable to expand further on the fundamentals of automation, as well as some common automation concepts. The practical work also helped with consolidating some of the theory which we had learnt throughout the day.

was very interesting and I enjoyed the engagement and topics from the tutor, I think more practical activities early on would be better however.

Helpful insight into test automation and good ideas on Data driven examples which I will take back to my company. Interactive and knowledgable

A good introduction to NFT, gave us a good grounding on the principles and initial approaches to take which can be applied immediately into our current work. Perhaps some more information on the current tools which are appropriate to use whilst carrying out tests, even links to them. John was really good at explaining the concepts and the course ran smoothly with well placed breaks in between.

John is very knowledgeable, and is keen to make sure people understand the why as well as the how - he also is good at going out of his way to explain content in a way that engages with the different day-to-day jobs that each person has.

Very good teaching. Answered questions well plus a practical at the end. Great intro to the subject.

Very good trainer, engaging, clear and patient.

Really enjoyed the course especially Rosemary presenting and course management style. There is a lot of content which is understandle, so there isn't much time for wider debate we fellow course members which is what I was expecting. Perhaps using breakout rooms (MS teams) would improve course member interactions.

great course to get the fundamentals.

The course trainer has explained the concept well and has good interactions in the classes.

Although it was an Intensive course John made it very engaging with his examples and also explained every details properly . Having classroom and homework examples also helped a lot

I felt John explained each section in great user friendly details. The explanations helped my understanding. I feel very positive

The course content was good and contained a lot of useful information. The trainer spoke clearly and was very helpful. My only issues are that I think the course would be better suited to a 4-5 day course rather than 3 as it did feel like we were rushing through a lot of it. Also, I feel that the way the exam is written is intentionaly misleading as it feels most questions catch you out not on the content but in the language it is written.

The first time I have completed a remote course and was anxious about how it would work, but the sessions were well structured and organised. John allowed plenty of time for discussion which worked well and made the session interactive with knowledgeable clear explanations

John was very good at taking the course and teaching us, only issue was it was difficult to read his handwriting at times (which he did upfront apologise for). I think the Exam questions are very tricky for a Foundation course and set out to catch you out more than I would expect for this level. I know you are teaching the course though and not setting the exam.

Very detailed course and learned many valuable skills that I will be able to use on my working day and gives me a good foundation to build on for other courses

Very intense, some concepts hard to understand, but simply because it was so far from any practical realworld experience I have encountered so far.

The course was very intense with lots of information over a short time, but the way it was delivered meant I was able to keep up and retain most of the details. The regular breaks helped with processing what we had learnt and made it easier to concentrate on the rest. Questions were explained really well and they weren't rushed over either.

So much to learn in so little time! The inclusion of a concise, very well thought out study guide would go a long way to help.

Well presented, but sequence of presentation -> mock testing doesn't suite all learners

Information was clear and well presented. Review of sample questions very beneficial

Course was good, although I feel as a foundation course it was difficult. I feel you would need to have a good testing background before taking this course compared to other foundation courses I have been on. Rosie was a great trainer although I felt some of the scenarios that Rosie was providing had nothing to do with testing so I found it hard to pair it with a testing environment. I understand the concept just found it harder to see them in testing environments.

The course content was quite heavy, but was broken down well over the 3 days. The course was delivered well and John answered all queries that people raised with integrity.

The course ran well and covered the topics in enough detail for me to understand them. For context, I'm a recent graduate and I found the content easier to pick up than some of my colleagues who have been working in the industry for a while now. This is not a reflection on the course so much as on the qualification though. Angelina delivered the content at a good pace and allowed plenty of time for discussion/debate. Overall I felt it was good.

The course was very interesting and everything was explained in a lot of detail, helping me to understand some of the key concepts of testing better. There was also lots of exam practice and detailed explainations of the answers which was also very useful.

Very well presented considering it was online. Plenty of breaks with consideration for the heaviness of the material. Good prep materials provided.

Extremely well delivered. Informative. Valuable. Would recommend.

I think some of the content is quite bloated and there is a lot of information, however the trainer was great and helped the course be interactive and enjoyable.

Informative and intense, however feel I have learned alot.

The course is very good and the approach to complete in short span of time is perfect.

A lot to cover but really extremely interesting material that Angelina made much easier to get through in the time alotted

Enjoyable and engaging course will plenty of helpful advice.

The experience was great albeit intense and a lot of information to take in. The mixture of lecture and class/homework excercises really does help us to apply what we've learnt and to test ourselves. The benefit is that our exam is in a few days so provides us enough time to go over what we've learnt and to work on areas we may be weaker in.

Very informative, sometimes intense, but an enjoyable experience. John is a good, thorough trainer who takes great care to ensure trainees understand concepts fully and responds to any comments or issues raised.

Excellent course with a lot packed into a short period. Some question examples a little difficult to understand but explanations were very clear.

Excellent course, very well delivered, a lot to cover in 3 days.

Good course, well paced and a very knowledgable trainer.

Lovely guy and a great teacher but he asked if we were okay a little too much.

Overall the course was good despite challenging content. Rosie was helpful, kind and friendly. She gave us frequent breaks and plenty of time to complete the excersises. I think a smaller class would enable more interactive activities that would have benefited my learning more than the lecture style learning that had open questions.

Overall the course was good, unfortunately I will have to revise more afterwards due to the way I take in information. For some reason a person reading it out to me just doesn't stick in my brain. Other than that a great course.

Rosie did a fantastic job. she was very clear and very informative in the way she explained everything. The course isn't simple, so explaining everything in detail was a great help. Thanks!

The training was interactive and Angelina is really helpful and engaging.

Trainer was good, well explained and friendly. Course was presented well, but covered more than the scope of the testing course I signed up for. I don't feel like the SDLC, Reviews, etc needed covering in this course and the section on actual test techniques was quite short.

It was very informative and even the parts that we were bogged down with theory were made easy to follow & understand.

Great Course!

Course was great, Lot of information to take in limited amount of time. I believe students will benifit if course trainig time could be increased from 3 to 4 days.

Course, whilst being intensive, was informative and thorough. John was patient and explained any items clearly. Genreal frustration at some of the exam questions, which I am sure have been mentioned many times before.

I found the course engaging and interesting, i would have preferred fewer words per slide and more breaks to digest. I also found that the length given for the questions during class time was not always proportionate to the effort required for the question. Angelina was a good host and i enjoyed chatting about real life examples.

In depth & well explained, made sure everyone understood properly before moving on

Course was well structured and tackles the syllabus. Rosie was a great trainer and made every step as clear as possible

Interesting yet intense course, covers basic disciplines and necessary knowledge required for this field. Overall really enjoyed the experience, with an experienced instructor being able to link in real life situations definitely helped my learning. Sample questions and test exercises helped consolidate the content delivered over the three days. Just need to put the work in now to revise for the exam.

The course was intense, but it was well structured (giving enough breaks to restore ourselves). The material to cover was a lot but there was always time to ask questions and stop if something wasn't clear.

Course has been great - a lot of information split in to easily digestible chunks. Ran very smoothly and there was a lot of support available on demand throughout. My only criticism would be that it felt like there were huge pieces of information between each ask-back on that content, it could be better to add questions in to the actual content itself throughout to help keep engagement and solidify understanding.

the course is conducted in a nice and pleasant atmosphere. Rosie paid a lot of attention to any questions.

I find it very difficult because theres a lot of information to take in such a small amount of time

Highest detailed and well explained throughout by Angelina. 100% would recommended

Intensive course, extremely well presenter helped break down and understand the material really well.

It was a lot to take in, but the trainer did an amazing job at making it easy to understand and keep us engaged

Angelina is really helpful and patient. She is good at explaining difficult concepts for us and and was trying to make intensive course light and easy:)

Interesting and gain an insight of what Model Based Testing is. Trainer is quite knowledgeable and kept us engaged.

Interesting course, some good useful and practical exercises to compliment the course material.

I was worried about a zoom course, however Rosie did a great job in making the course very engaging.

Rosie Sheldon was a very friendly and engaging trainer. Explained the course material at a good pace. Lots of opportunity for delegate participation. Only criticism was that some of the TSG sample questions were ambiguously written and the numbering was wrong, so things got a bit confusing.

Really informative course providing information in simple to follow slides. As the course was online it was sometimes hard to get fully engaged but John was always checking that we were OK with the subject we were covering before moving on and encouraged us to ask questions.

I found the course very informative & thought Rosie was very engaging with all of us. Lots of useful resources and documents given to us which I can re-use and review over in the future.

Course was interesting, but practical work didn't always seem to align with the content - on day 1 it felt like a lot of the content was skimmer over in favour of doing practical work around drawing diagrams, which aren't examined. Would help if the theory was taught first and then backed up by relevant practical work afterwards.

Course was well thought out. Splitting it up with practice questions and activities helped.

I have completed an ISTQB course previously, and while I found the content interesting, I really struggled to stay engaged. Throughout the entire 2 days John was able to deliver the information in a way that has really 'stuck'. It was a great balance between information delivery, and real world application. I will be doing an additional ISTQB course this year and will be checking if John delivers the course. If so, I will be signing up again.

I felt like the slides were the only part of the course that I struggled with, a lot of the time there were large amounts of information on the slides and it all came on to the slide at once with no order to the information sometimes. The speaking also did not match the amount of information on the screen sometimes which meant that while taking notes, the slides would change quite quickly. Other than those I think the course was good, I think the questions in preparation for the exam were good and the mock exams will prove useful.

John was excellent in his explanation of the theory and explaining in a variation of ways so that everyone understood.

Course was ok, learnt some new things and it was a good jumping off point for learning more about agile. Maybe would have prefered a more general approach rather than a tester focused course though.

The course gave me a greater understanding of Agile and a testers role within the framework. Rosie is a great trainer and is able to convey effectively. Having done the foundation course recently I did feel that the slides were a little less engaging with a lot of bullet points compared to the foundation course were there was a bit more colour in the slides.

I found the course really informative, and helped clarify a lot. Only advice I have is to maybe query if anyone needs any reasonable adjustments to take into account, such as needing more time on the practice questions etc, as I found it hard to keep up at times and process the information given due to my Dyslexia. All in all was great, thank you!

I found that the course content was easily digestible and gave optimal opportunities to practice.

Very Relevant. Well structured with discussions around key points. I am taking away some useful actions for my scrum. Rosie is a good facilitator making us all feel inclusive & engaging with us. Relaxed atmosphere aided learning. My only point of recommendation would be to correct the Question/ answers in the mock exam as I found this confusing

Covered the course content at a nice pace, made sure that we were engaged and if we had any questions. Covered not only what were the correct answers, but why. Had some issues with mismatched materials between what we were given and what John had, but he managed to sort it out as soon as we brought it to his attention.

Interesting, concise & friendly tutor. Learnt a lot over the short space of two days, and felt easy to follow and understand.

Interesting course. John have explained the concepts, exercises and questions well. Any mistakes made from practice questions were explained until it made sense. Constant sense check with the group was nice when explaining the theory. Some improvements can be to offer 1 hour lunch break, sometimes going through the theory slides pace was quick for my liking.

Interesting course, good detail & nice practical uses maybe update some of the slides to more relevant examples/ applications

Rosie was friendly and helpful. The course was structured and well organised however I felt that there should have been more interactive activities involved in the course, this may be difficult due to the larger amount of people on the course.

Appreciated John's patience in leading me through this course on a 1-2-1 basis. John also gave me insight on how I can implement the course content in my own workplace as well as how the syllabus relates to the exam questions. John also gave me tips in preparation for the associated exam.

Very well presented and good explanations throughout. A good pace and constant feedback during, great sessions.

The course tutor was very articulate and brilliant at maintaining interest in the topic.

An excellent introduction to the subject with an engaging trainer who used real scenarios and experience to add context to the course.

I thought that our trainer was very good, she was very helpful and the amount of information was a good amount and not overpowering.

Course was great, Rosie was very helpful and always explaining everything in detail.

Course was interesting, but practical work didn't always seem to align with the examinable content - on day 1 a lot of the content was gone over relatively quickly in favor of doing practical work around drawing diagrams. What was implemented on day 2 was better, theory was taught first and then backed up by relevant practical work afterwards.

Very good detail, lots of information. The trainer was easy to understand and get along with. Information was as expected, high level of information and detail, all relevant to the course. Regular breaks throughout the day helped a lot with comfort and retaining information. Excited for the next course I'm already booked onto.

I found the course straight forward and very informative - The only improvement feedback I have is around the presentation slides. The mind map is extremely useful, however 3 days of viewing slides showing only various snippets of it felt extremely repetitive and I found it hard concentrating as every slide looked extremely similar. This also made it difficult understanding what section we where learning and what level of a particular topic we were in.

The course was interactive and fun Lots of information but was not overwhelming

John was an excellent trainer. The virtual class was very engaging and very thorough. John was great at explaining even the dry topics precisely and has been very helpful in getting points across and clearing any confusion I had with certain areas/topics.

Good course. The trainer Rosie Sheldon was excellent, I liked how she engaged with everyone and their testing experiences as well as bringing her own personal experiences as examples.

Course really interesting and helped build a foundation to some of the things that I've been doing in my career. Enjoy the use of mind maps to break the slybus and trainer very helpful

Excellent speaker/instructor. Thank you Rosie! Very easy to follow and the analogies that were given were really helpful.

really enjoyed the course and learning all the aspects of test automation

Excellent, really well presented, John is very thorough and knowledgeable

It was a great course, very detailed by presented in an engaging way. The course is intense with the amount of topics required for the exam.

Good examples with detailed explanation, made many concepts clear. Due to only one sample paper, maybe a additional revision session could have been planned for more confidence and more practise.

The course was very informative and helped me increase my knowledge in relation to Agile development cycles.

A very good course delivered at a good and friendly pace

I have gone through 2 days of online course. I really liked the course syllabus and the order they covered both Day1 and Day2. Liked the exam questions we take in between the courses. Would like to have more sample questions and answers, which will help us more, in terms of clearing the exam.

A little too much talking about real world as opposed to sticking purely to the syllabus

It was very engaging, the trainer can keep everyone interested and engaged. Really recommend!

Well delivered, clear and precise. I would like to have instead of the answer sheet to have instead a duplicate of the question sheet with EACH answer why it is wrong or right A.) Answer text A WRONG: this is the reason B.) Answer text B WRONG: this is another reason C.) Answer text C RIGHT: Short description why this is right with link to the syllabus section D.) Answer text D WRONG: this is the reason This was done in an Harvard Online Business Exam and this is very helpful.

Found it interesting and informative and useful to help support future projects I work on

Course was really fun and interactive with an open discussion which helps in real world

Angelina is very knowledgeable and had expertise in all areas. Angelina engaged everyone at all times which kept everyone interested, I am sure I speak on behalf of everyone here.

Excellent course. Very informative, interactive and fun. Really enjoyed the learning from Angelina.

Training content is good and Rosie did impart the training effectively. She did clear all the doubts we had. This has increased my confidence in taking the exam. Thank you Rosie.

Great Tutor, Well paced. Many thanks

The course was useful on information and data with opportunities to apply what was being taught at regular intervals. Struggled to stay engaged due to the number of slides/information being presented, this may be exacerbated due to the course being remote.

Excellently well put together course, and Rosie was a wonderful trainer, answering any and all questions, and came well prepared with the information to help us succeed

This is the second time I've had John for a course (the other was the Agile extension), I was very pleased to have John once more! He's incredibly thorough and provides everything we need in an easier to understand format. Whilst also offering his help outside of the course. Thank you John!

Course was very in-depth and informative. The summary slides are very beneficial for recapping on what has been discussed previously. A good amount of coursework was included and sufficient time was spent explaining the rationale behind the correct answers.

I have been on several training courses with John and he never disappoints. He is so professional and doesn't leave any question without response. He is genuinely interested so that all students would take most of his training courses and his support is immeasurable.

I found the course very interesting and informative. The material was very well presented by the trainer, and the regular exercises and homework activities helped. It is also useful to learn the common vernacular of the testing profession, even if it does not entirely match what I am familiar with in my work place.

John has done a great job with this, its alot of information to take in. But john makes it easy to understand with bitesize chunks

Course was delivered very well from John - allowed for discussion whilst explaining answers clearly. The course materials have been good and the presentation/UX over Go To Meeting easy to use.

Very good pacing of the course with good amount of breaks. Good detailed content and good trainer. I think to improve, it would be really helpful just to have a final slide with the definitions of some of the key words/topics and maybe summarize the main differences between similar topics (like release and iteration charts)

really good information and at a good pace answered every question we had and helped us along when needed

Was very enjoyable to listen to and learn the about the Advanced Test Techniques used for identifying and understanding the different approaches to testing.

Great course, wasn't sure how it wold work remotely, but ended up being just as good as in person. maybe need to consider using cameras to get a better feel of working together

Quite challenging as a virtual setup as the trainer has to consistently ask if everyone is ok just to get confidence people are still engaged. Handwriting by the trainer could be improved. I could read it fine as my own writing is similar but I can imagine other people not knowing what is written on the screen when referring back their notes that have been screenshotted.

I found the course to be very helpful and informative. John explained all aspects very well. The only comment I have was to do with the lack of cameras and seeing the other participants. I felt there was a lot of silence which may not have occurred if cameras were switched on

good but would have preferde on site training

I now have a better understanding of what test automation can do and what kind of testing it could be used for.

Not having any experience of automation previously, this has given me a good indication of what automation is and how it can help me in my daily role.

the course was very informative, very clear and John explained everything very well and check our understanding on a regular basis

John was informative, engaging and iteresting. He moved at a good pace to include a lot of information whilst making regular checks that everyone was understanding. He asked out objectives at the beginning of the course and ensured that these had been completed by the end. Thanks Kphn.

Excellent presented and very well explaining throughout the 3 days of training. Contained a lot of detail within testing.

Very informative and John did a great job of breaking down the content and ensuring that the group were following, engaged and 'ok' 🙂

Top bloke, explained things well. Engaged with the class and made it as interactive as possible. Thanks for going through this

She was a really good speaker and went into really good detail on examples and explanation and got everyone involved

the course was good but a few more insights to the real world application would be good

A good walkthrough of the syllabus with lots of interaction with everyone. Really great tips for dealing with the exam questions with examples done during the course.

Really good course. Provides plenty of information for the agile testing area and it benefits me for my journey as a Software Tester Apprentice.

Great course. Especially enjoyed the interactive parts, comparing the delegates' experiences to the course material. Also appreciated that the information presented in the course didn't duplicate the written information in the syllabus, but instead was an interpretation of it with practical examples, to aid learning. Course materials and joining instructions were clear and helpful.

Had a good understating of Agile aspects

Really good course, and really explained by a fun instructor. Angelina got us involved however possible and made sure were all comfortable with the pace and info before moving on. She also showed us a demo at the end which was very interesting. Hope to have Angelina teaching me again in future.

I thought the instructor was great at explaining concepts in detail without causing information overload. The platform allowed for quick note taking and John used lots of live diagrams and notes to really bring the topics alive. There was also a good mix of exercises vs discussion

I found that the information on the course was delivered in an extremely comprehensive manner as John's explanations did well to ensure that points mentioned were explained in a manner for all to understand.

A dense topic covered clearly and with lots of help. It. Was. Clear

Course was very thorough and the numerous mock questions/exercises helped me to understand the syllabus.

I found this course excellent. Although I am already an experienced tester, I learned the formal theory behind what I do every day as well as new theories that I do not typically employ in my current position. The course was well paced and the material was presented in a way which was easy to follow and understand.

I thought everything was presented very well and I feel I've learnt a lot, thanks Angelina!

I think John did a great job delivering the course itself, explained the topics and the methods very well and it is obvious he has a lot of experience and knowledge regarding software testing. My criticism would be with the ISTQB exam and the questions themselves, but John did his best to explain it to us and help us all understand it.

A++, super engaging, regular breaks, nice breakdown of the exam paper. John is a clear and concise teacher that has filled myself with confidence in passing the exam.

The course was well delivered and structured in a good way. It was highly beneficial for learning about testing and I would recommend this course to peers.

Well run course with plenty of detail and a good experience.

Angelina was very engaging and was keeping everyone involved an d this really helped in the afternoons when you get tired

First time I took an online training. Amazing experience. Great application used for the training and Rosie was really good and made us understand all the concepts easily.

Great course and learnt a lot from Angelina

Rosie was very friendly and kind whilst teaching the course. She clearly knew more than just the content she was teaching and was able to offer different ways of viewing the content in order to help us understand the concepts. Overall she was a fantastic trainer.

course was explained well, trainer was excellent

Well paced course, trainer was very knowledgeable and friendly.

It was good, great slides! Glad to do it online. Just wish we could request a printed version of the materials.

Very broad course, appreciate this is BCS led. Rosie was very engaging, and worked very hard over virtual / lockdown circumstances to provide excellent narrative and context beyond the course materials. I've done a few of these types of courses, virtually or otherwise, and Rosie is up there with the best, thank goodness!

Course was good, adequate breaks and detailed content. Using the Online platform was a better experience than i thought it would be

John was a very engaging, helpful and knowledgeable trainer. He provided real life examples from his career which help bring the subject to life. The regular screen breaks really helped my concentration as did the regular exercises for us to complete.

Very much informative and learn lots of new things from the course.

Well paced and Rosie's presentation style made it easy to follow and understand the complex subject matter.

Very informative, better than I thought it was going to be given it was a virtual course.

Very much Informative and learned a lot of new things about Testing

Great introductory course for exploring ML and AI.

Angelina was amazing at teaching the content - she was interactive, engaging and enthusiast. I believe an improvement for the exam would be to have more K3 questions as application of learning is better.

Already experience of user stories and some on testing. The second day was less familiar to me so gained more there. Balance of tutoring and practice was okay and factoring in a number of breaks helped delivery online. Certainly worth doing if you have some BA /testing experience, or if it needs refreshing.

Informative and helpful, plenty of out of hours help. Nice trainer

Found the content very extensive and questions quite difficult to answer but trainer was helpful and taught us in depth

A lot of content in little time. A very enthusiastic and helpful trainer.

Angelina was very helpful in answering our questions and keeping everyone engaged throughout the whole 4 days. I believe it would be better to keep it as 4 days (I heard some of these run for three days only), and perhaps it would be easier to use Microsoft Teams instead of GoTo Meetings? As we use Teams as our primary source of communication within the organisation anyway.

Great trainer who really took his time to go through everyone’s questions and explain the syllabus thoroughly.

there were a lot of technical problems at first but once we moved from go to meetings to teams then it was fine. Would suggest going straight to teams.

Positive and supportive teacher, proper explanation of current topics and refresher of older more forgotten ones.

The course is quite intensive for just 3 days.

The course was well delivered but the content itself can be confusing due to the nature of there being a large amount of unfamiliar terminology that feeds into one another. Angelina was brilliant at clarifying confusions however which helped a lot.

Trainer explained everything very clearly and enthusiastically. It was a lot of information and syllabus to digest in 4 days but Angelina made it fun and easier to understand. Very good experience overall!

Really insightful and interactive;John was a very engaging and interesting coach - thank you

Instructor explained things well and made it clearer to understand. structure of the course was good

The course was very informative and I feel like I've been given a good introduction to Test Engineering and the many different methods and processes that can be used. I did not have much knowledge or experience in this subject at the beginning, but John was able to explain things at the right level and pace to help me learn, and was happy to explain things in more detail where required.

The course was very insightful, John was knowledgeable and was able to take questions and simplify things when asked. It's given me a view into what Test Engineers (and all of the other roles associated) are tasked with doing and how some of their techniques can be helpful with our day-to-day roles.

The course met my expectations, highly informative, clearly explained, useful for my current role and carrier path I have chosen. Thank you!

I personally found it hard to understand certain concepts because i have no prior testing experience.

Really good course/ delivery. John was friendly, knowledgeable and thorough in his explanations and approach and used some great examples

Very comprehensive. A reference for mobile testing world

Great course, but too many info for 2 days (as usual). It will take some time to review and process the content.

Really useful and with connection to the real world, not just academic knowledge

Lovely person, very approachable with a deep understanding of the topic, allowing Angelina to explain the content in a way that was engaging, and made it easy to digest. It was easy to stay engaged with the content right through to the end, and the overall course quality was very high.

The course was very informative and help me learn more about mobile app testing. The course was informative and fun and the trainer was motivating and was very helpful in explaining the syllabus.

Enjoyed the course but the exam questions I found could be very open to interpretation (Cases being 'BEST' or 'MOST LIKELY').

I enjoyed the course, considering it was digital and not in a classroom which i personally prefer. Trainer was very helpful. Only this is please avoid having so many 'need more context' questions in sample papers, as they dont help and just make me personally feel dumb.

Trainer was pleasant and knowledgeable on the subject matter. Course material was covered at a good rate. A number of the questions in the sample exam material were poorly phrased, our trainer even agreed they would be unlikely to appears as phrased in a real exam. This made the sample questions, and the time take to review them feel extremely counter productive.

Course is good and a lot to learn, what does concern me is that some of the exam questions are intended to catch you out rather than based on the learning material

I thought it felt more like a second ISTQB course rather than a Agile course, but either way enjoyed it and felt like I learnt a lot from it. I think to improve, it would be really helpful just to have a final slide with the definitions of some of the key words/topics and maybe summarize the main differences between similar topics (like release and iteration charts)

Surprised as to the content - a lot of focus on the fundamentals and machinations of Agile as opposed to Agile testing, but suppose I would have realised that had I thoroughly checked the syllabus first. Pitched at a good level given the range of agile experience in the training group. Not overly happy with the wording/rationale for some of the sample exam questions.

Good information although its too much to digest in just two days.

Rosie was very approachable and patient with the large volumes of questions asked of her, and good at explaining things in a simple way.

Very insightful and informative. Trainer kept my attention throughout the whole 3 days. Was happy to help out when we were confused. Hard course with a lot of work needed but well worth it. Learnt a lot of very helpful info. Trainer very friendly and easy to understand and get along with. Looking forward to taking more courses in the future.

Course tutor was brill, What was hardest was the way some of the example questions/ISTQB syllabus was written.

I found Rosie very easy to listen to, very patient, and felt like i could ask questions when I needed. In my personal opinion the syllabus of the course seemed to reference outdated techniques. However Rosie was very good in teaching these. In future I personally would find it better if there was even more engagement e.g. more questions to the group.

Really good course. Provides plenty of information needed for being a tester, although I think it needs better pacing, so that I can get the info from the course noted for exam revision.

Well structured content, combining theory, examples and practice. Enough breaks throughout the day to not burn out and instructor helped answer questions helpfully.

Interesting course, Rosie was a great trainer. Good delivery, kept us engaged, well-paced, also very very patient.

Engaging, thought-provoking presentation of various aspects of security testing

Excellent training

Angelina was great at delivering the content of the course, applying the real world experiences into each context.

The course was very thorough and the instructor very knowledgeable.

The course content was good, unfortunately it felt like it was designed for a classroom delivery rather than online and this was difficult as things that would probably have been really good discussions in a classroom did not transpire to be so good online.

John was very knowledgeable and comprehensive - a good mix of theory and practice exam questions - breaks were well timed and felt comfortable to ask questions if necessary. Course covered a wide range of test automation factors throughout the testing lifecycle.

Very good course. Good trainer, spoke very clearly and very articulate. Explained things well. Good timing of breaks.

Great trainer, was very helpful and knowledgeable but the course is very rushed, would be best to have one more day to cover all the topics

I found going through the course with a trainer & subsequent exercised has assisted me in absorbing the course material as I found the syllabus very dry. This is the first virtual course I have taken, I think it worked well but would have appreciated if the GoToMeeting App had a functionality where I could raise a flag as I often ended up talking over others/speaking at the same time as other delegates. Also I requested the course material to be provided earlier so that I have a chance to read it and absorb it in advance due to my dyslexia, although I received this I would have appreciated this much earlier

Th Trainer gave us a comprehensive idea about the entire course The trainer gave us idea about the technique and how to approach the questions and how to structure and apply the technique and concept and arrive at the answers which was extremely helpful and with due practise would help us be successful in clearing the certification exam

I would be able to review better while studying as is was all in 3 days and I was switching between work and training alot. but in general am pleased by it and I hope I make it in the exam.

turning the course into a 3 day course be be really good to much info for just 2 days

it had very useful input and exercises that helped us understand the theory better

Well structured and balanced with questions, good examples provided by trainer although I felt some slides were a little vague Trainer was good at leading the class and was clear in communication and engaged well with participants

The course was thorough and it covers almost everything.

It was very helpful and much needed course for me atleast.

It was very informative, i feel all ready for the certification exam and the trainer for this course couldn't have been better.

Very well structured, very informative but not an information overload. Taught us many different methodologies and paradigms

I thought the instructor was great at explaining concepts in detail without causing information overload. The platform allowed for quick note taking and John used lots of live diagrams and notes to really bring the topics alive. There was also a good mix of exercises vs discussion

It was very nice throughout. And also how well explained by Richard. Much appreciated.

I found that the information on the course was delivered in an extremely comprehensive manner as John's explanations did well to ensure that points mentioned were explained in a manner for all to understand.

Richard explained everything in detail. Deals all the queries with lots of patience.

Very interesting and informative course, it was excellent as a gentle introduction into Test Automation for someone who is pretty much a complete beginner. John was friendly, patient, and helpful throughout, very easy to follow his demos/examples and clear explanations at all times. Thank you

Paul made this a very interesting course. He was easy to listen to and very knowledgeable about the subject. Some of the exercises would have worked better in a classroom environment but we still got a a good understanding of the subject.

The hand written notes could be difficult to read at times, would suggest a thinner tip on the pen.

John was great at explaining the course, good and informative. Great at explaining exam questions.

John is a fantastic trainer, if only I had John for my foundation course many moons ago! Everything on the course was fully explained to us in a way the group could understand and no question felt "stupid". I hope to have John training me in future courses as I now feel more ready to take on my exam.

Very well done, was clear on all aspects, ready for my exam

Alot of content however much of the mock tests are ambiguous. I feel the questions are not very suited to the course material

Difficult over GoToMeeting - I would always choose classroom based if possible but time made this necessary. More, shorter breaks - I assume that everybody had to nip away for 5 minute breaks every now and then. I think attempting to get more involvement from the attendees would help?

Right level of pace and level of detail to understand the content

John was very engaging, knowledgeable, and friendly. His class was great and I really enjoyed it.

Great course, very informative. John used real life examples in order to explain information to us in a clear way. Would suggest this course to my colleagues.

Understood risk based testing which would help me plan my tests and look out for critical areas

found the course really useful, appreciate the way it was contextualized to our experience. A lot of good information that we as a company need to mull over to improve the way we approach UAT.

Confirmed a lot of current practice and gave plenty of food for thought for improvements. Liked the adaptable approach to suit our current appointments. Also appreciated the opportunity to discuss things as we went along.

John was very good and took the time to adapt the content to the needs of our roles and and of our organisation - so thank you John.

Very informative. Loved how interactive it was.

Great, friendly presenter. Would like to have more group participation talks.

Virtual course was structured well and materials provided in advance gave a brief overview of the course. Really enjoyed the teaching style of the trainer.

John was brilliant and open to explaining all aspects of the course. I would like more time focused on the crux of the course. eg. techniques to try more samples.

I found the course really helpful i am hoping after attending this i will be able to now pass the exam. The way it was presented was great and the trainer was very knowledgeable

Remote virtual course. Very enjoyable and lots of interaction with everyone.

Very thorough and spent the time to explain items if unsure. Scheduled breaks were beneficial as doing online course and helped focus.

Content was all covered however with virtual delivery it is difficult to stay engaged and focus.

Very interactive and informative with a lot of helpful exercises.

Course had lots of good info and resources. There could be additional sample papers for the course for practise.

Great online course. Clear and interactive. Prefer classroom for this reason. The more interactive the better

The course followed the syllabus and explained key topics in the hope of preparing us for the exam in the future.

Good course, well structured but as its done virtually I believe there should be more hands on involved. 3 days is not enough.

The course was to intense for the amount of material against the amount of days and could do with more help for the exam day.

`the course gave me good insights to Test Management. Lot of valuable information and some good insights towards Test Management

Enjoyable and interesting information

John gave a good summary of Test Automation

Well rounded course with good explanations to go with each slide

Slides were very wordy. Would be great to have an environment to try out the exercises as we didn't have a copy of Thonny

Rosie was very knowledgeable about the subject and very happy to answer delegates’ queries. My only criticism of the course was that I felt we could have been introduced to Selenium earlier. Although it’s vital to learn how to identify elements by XPath etc, it seemed that we could have approached this once we’d seen Selenium itself to provide more context.

Really Informative, useful course that I already have plans for applying within my role. Rosie was very patient and helpful, felt that we could ask questions freely and were frequently provided with good knowledge and insight.

John was a very good teacher, explained everything well and set us up perfectly for the exam

Very clear and straightforward explanation. The presentation is interactive enough. Workload is well balanced between home and class.

The course taught me a lot more than expected. I am glad my company sent me on a course rather than me doing self study, because of the sheer amount of content to cover.

Fantastic course. Great level of knowledge from the trainer who explained things clearly and in great detail.

The course was very interesting and informative, I have learnt many new things in relation to testing and the business usage and approach to it.

John cleared the content at a good pace and was very engaging which kept my mind focused on the information.

Very informative & made a technical subject easy to understand with lots of examples to work through together.

Overall the course was very informative and packed with information which I enjoyed learning. Maybe a few more engagement exercises would be useful.

We completed a 2 day online introduction to test course, where we listen to a presentation and took part in multiple exercises.

He had a clear understanding of what he was teaching. His presentation was clear and precise. And clarified our doubts . Thank you

Very hard to deliver this online so John did a fine job of giving us what we need to hopefully pass the exam.

She was extremely lovely in her learning. so skilled a asset so well explained i really enjoyed this course lernt alot

Good detail, I liked the examples and the walkthrough of the different types of reporting tests. It was engaging and a nice short course

Trainer is having good understanding of automation testing processes. She delivered the course very well and discussed the queries well too.

Very well articulated for the different levels of experience of the course attendees. Understanding provided when incorrect answers given, weren't left feeling silly. Considering it is hard to stay focused when the course is online, she did well to keep us engaged. It was well structured with small regular breaks.

Very good at keeping people's attention - much harder online so she did a grand job of that.

Very good course, lots of detail and trainer was friendly and easy to ask questions, explained well

Very good at keeping people's attention - much harder online so she did a grand job of that.

Good explanation, lot of exercises

very knowledgeable and helpful , happy to help -always

It was a good class room session and John did take time to explain things until we understood. Was a very useful session and gave us a lot of ideas and tips for the exam prep.

I enjoyed the course and found it very useful. John was quite clear and concise with his explanation. Very Helpful, courteous, patience and professional. Also provided a good examination tips.

tough going in a virtual classroom collaboration and contribution from all parties was reduced. content & delivery was great and at a pace that was good for me

Intense but very well presented with good explanations and examples along the way

Good material, however purely virtual learning is challenging, the past papers helped the most

Although a lot to cover and take in over three days, it was broken down nicely and covered and gone through clearly by the tutor. Tutor great at answering questions and explaining areas until it was understood.

Excellent trainer, able to explain things well, any questions were answered well as well. Great examples as well that helped highlight and explain things in a manner that was understandable.

John was an excellent trainer, clearly walking us through the syllabus in an easy to understand way, with plenty of opportunities to undertake practical application of learning through past exam papers and scenarios. He frequently validated that everyone on the course was clear before we moved onto the next section and provided some helpful tips on how to revise and prepare for the exam.

Great pace, really informative and interactive. Felt comfortable asking questions. Liked how John explained things on the whiteboard and added notes/comments to screens to bring things more to life and make more understandable.

Good use of technology. Knowledgeable instructor.

Good use of technology. Knowledgeable instructor.

Felt it was a bit cramped into the three days, Feel at a disadvantage not having physical copy of the workbook as you can not take corresponding notes. Screen shots not the same as can not always make out notes. In classroom always get the material. feel cost to get them excessive due to cost of course.

Rosie is clearly very knowledgeable about the subject and was able to use lots of real life examples to demonstrate her explanations.

Good course, good pace. Examples well explained by the presenter. Useful materials.

Good pace of course and content. Knowledgeable and good examples used. Trainer installed confidence in my ability to potentially pass the exam

I felt that Rosie dealt very well with the volume of content, in particular during the first day (which she kindly warned us about). I also found it useful that she gave us guidance on the sorts of areas we ought to prioritise learning. I found her teaching style engaging, and appreciated the way she brought in personal anecdotes to help us associate the course content with more relatable scenarios, as well as the way she brought up past content to help reinforce it.

Rosie Sheldon was absolutely fantastic at explaining, making sure you understood if you raised any questions, clear, approachable. It was a pleasure!

My trainer was thorough and friendly, and the course provided me with a lot of incredibly useful information and insights.

Was able to understand things that I did not understand and have learnt new things.

Very helpful tips as well as a thorough review of the content of the course. Far more thorough than other courses I have been on. Great explanations.

Rosie was knowledgeable in the subject and went through it at a good pace

Complete coverage of the topics in course explained in an excellent way.

The revised syllabus was good for a virtual session and the trainer kept the class lively and engaged.

Course content is good and very informative in preparing you for the exam. However, it is very technical and a lot of information to take in over 3 days.

Rosie explained everything very well and was easy to follow. She was engaging and asked us questions relating the terminology to our jobs and as well as giving us examples to help us remember them.

There was a lot of content to learn but I feel John went through it very well and willingly slowed down and went over content until everyone confirmed they understood. Breaks were given at good intervals which helped everyone come back ready to absorb more content

Very good - was able to stay focused and information was explained in a simple and clear way.

I found this online course much better than expected. Content was very thorough and well-presented. John Young gave great explanations to queries throughout. As a trainer he's very patient and willing to get to the bottom of any questions that you have. He's also easy to listen to and understand.

Enjoyed the course and John helped me to understand the trickier parts. only wish I could take his brain whilst doing the exam.

Great trainer. Explain the every bit with the example which really help to understand the concept and always happy to assist.

The course was quite complex but I felt that John explained everything in a very clear and concise manner so that it was understandable. I am very pleased with the training and the resources that have been given to me, I feel as though I have learnt a huge amount. A lot of this goes to the trainer as he took the time out to answer our questions and give us better examples and techniques for the exam.

The course content and trainer were good, the course was very intensive and a lot to take in. Due to covid it was delivered virtually, which is not my preferred method of learning, I would have preferred a classroom based course for something as intensive and involved as this course, but understand the reasoning behind this due to the current circumstances. Thanks

Really good, john interacted very well and made it very easy to understand

John really was an excellent tutor. Patient, knowledgeable, kind, able to simplify and demonstrate complex subjects with ease. I really think he made all the difference and I feel lucky that he was our tutor. The course itself was very well structured & I felt like I learnt a lot in a short space of time.

Virtual course was structured well and materials provided in advance gave a brief overview of the course. Really enjoyed the teaching style of the trainer.

Remote virtual course. Very enjoyable and lots of interaction with everyone.

I really enjoyed the training. Even though it was online, the lecturer John, was a brilliant teacher. The course is very detailed, and explained well with a solid balance of theory and sample questions. As a group we went over the answers together and i found it very informative. The documentation and slides are excellent. Looking forward to putting the processes I learned in practice.

great content and helpful towards the exam. recommended

It was easy to follow and the instructor was very friendly and patient.

Great content, and very interesting

Course was delivered in a way which was always interesting and upbeat (important given that we did it online) The course itself is challenging and intense but could ask questions and go over things at any time.

Really enjoyed this course & my objectives were met. I think that the course worked better virtual than previous classroom based ones. There was an initial problem logging in to the course but this was quickly resolved. I would have liked more time experimenting with the tools with the tutor still online to assist if required.

It was good, but I'd prefer to have it in 4 to 5 days instead of 3. It is a lot of content to cover in only 3 days.

Very good course still felt very crammed but that is the nature of the course. Some the presentation slides could be presented more formally and concisely to take the key messages away. Trainer was very knowledge not only on content but also test conditions. Trainer also had good knowledge in how to tailor the course to our needs.

The instructor was amazing, cheerful and very relatable. Literally one of the best online courses.

I thought the course was well run and everything was explained thoroughly.

Engaging content but seems like there is a huge amount of it to process in very little time for the examination.

Hard to say since I have not yet taken the exam but I thought the course was very well delivered, the trainer was excellent and friendly.

Paul was so lovely and helpful. He went through the course with good pace and detail and was always willing to help and explain things in more detail

Course was excellent, well paced, superb instructor and feel like I learned a lot.

It is very informative and allowed you to highlight the areas that you need to study in more detail for the exam. At times we would get lost in the practical that doesn't relate back to the exam

Even though the training was online, John was able to capture the audience very well, explaining with detail all the subjects and always finding examples for each situation. Also in the questions and exercices every choice was discussed about the correct or not correct answers and sharing some hints how to deal with them. John was always friendly and available to discuss any topic. I would be happy to have him in a next training some day.

Really helpful explaining and depicting everything with examples and schemes, allowing us to take screenshots, it was very good.

Great content, and very interesting

It was good, but I'd prefer to have it in 4 to 5 days instead of 3. It is a lot of content to cover in only 3 days.

More than good preparation with additional mock test. I think that we were prepared for even more difficult exam questions. Most of the exam questions had already been explained by Rosie during the course.

Really superb course, Rosie's style of presenting was perfect for me. The course material was really well produced, it was easy to understand and covered the syllabus well. As a result I was able to prepare for the exam and pass it successfully, and there is so much I have been able to take from the course with a view to implementing in my day to day role as a test manager.

Great course and trainer. Because the course was online, it was split into manageable sessions. Plenty on interaction with trainer and participants. It is hard work, but it's worth it.

The course was good and Angelina was kind and helpful. I do feel, and I think I speak for everyone on the course is that there is so much to cram in to 3 days, so I think it would be beneficial if it was a day longer, at least.

The course was informative and the trainer was very good at explaining concepts by way of examples. Some very dry chapters were enhanced by the trainer's approach to tesaching.

I found the course to be very good with great detail. I would definitely say it was worth attending.

Very informative, John was super helpful

Course was on lines were engaged and checked understanding well

Lots of extremely valuable information which I can already feel seeping into my mindset and way of working. Course leader was incredibly engaged throughout and there is an impressive amount of information for just three days. I would recommend this to other testers.

The course was concise and at a good pace for a new tester like myself. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was happy with the level of depth that Angelina was going into for each section.

John was very helpful in explaining everything I needed to learn for the ISTQB exam, he was also very friendly and approachable. I was initially a bit worried about the remote learning, but John made the change from classroom learning to remote learning very easy.

Considering it was a virtual course it worked pretty well, still got as much out of it as I would've done in person. It was nice that is was one to one as it went at my pace and I was able to ask questions as and when.

Really enjoyed this course & my objectives were met. I think that the course worked better virtual than previous classroom based ones. There was an initial problem logging in to the course but this was quickly resolved. I would have liked more time experimenting with the tools with the tutor still online to assist if required.

Although the trainer showed that she had a good knowledge of the course, and tried to make it interesting with comments in between, it was somehow monotone, so sometimes it was difficult to follow the trainer. Some more examples would have been helpful.

Course was very good. However, exams with Proctor Exam was horrible.

Rosie did an excellent job, giving us also the information we needed to successfully complete the examination.

Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and I think John managed the course very well. He set a strong, consistent pace and explained all the content very well as well. I think the course content was a little heavier to understand towards the end of the first day and the first half of the second, especially as I have not had any experience in testing, which made it slightly harder to retain the theory.

The trainer showed that she had the knowledge, but it was a little bit monotone. Some more examples and a little bit richer explanation would have been great.

The course was quite interesting and the extra material was really helpful and adequate.

Really superb course, Rosie's style of presenting was perfect for me. The course material was really well produced, it was easy to understand and covered the syllabus well. As a result I was able to prepare for the exam and pass it successfully, and there is so much I have been able to take from the course with a view to implementing in my day to day role as a test manager.

Course was very good, but difficult for me to follow as I am deaf in both ears and had difficulty keeping up with what was going on. I depend mainly on text and slides, but suffered some confusion as I did not have context in some situations.

Angelina was very knowledgeable and presented the course with lots of energy and humour.

The course is quite clear, sometimes a bit internet connection issue. The content is quite good

I was very happy with the way the course was presented. By asking everyone questions during the course Angelina made sure we all stayed focused (at lease it worked for me).

Course was excellent. The trainer was energetic and engaging.

Excellent organisation, resources and time management

I did not receive any pre-reading however the trainer Rosie was amazing

Great course - it was interesting with good learning materials. Trainer was great, engaging, fun and very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend

Great course but somewhat challanging working through the course material, jumping around to find questions. Some of the example questions were not clear.

Rosie explains and teaches very clearly and througly

Very good teacher, explains things thoroughly, also has a good sense of humour. I would recommend this course to my colleagues.

The trainer was excellent and the course was well delivered. However we could have done with a longer timeframe to complete the course.

Trainer was great!! I think there needs to be a separate day for exam and learning days

The trainer was excellent, however we could have more preperation time and study time

Trainer was excellent, would of liked the content to be spread over more days.

Training was excellent would of liked more exercises and homework though.

The teacher was excellent!! Quite a lot of information to process in such a short space of time, a extra day would be preferable.

I attended the course to gain knowledge of software / IT Workings / Testing and to gain a qualification in the process. The course met all my objectives and the trainer was excellent

I passed the test with a score of 81% which I was really chuffed with as it was a very challenging course and exam, but definitely worth it! I’ve now been on two TSG courses (both with John Young) and Charlie and Laura have both done one each and we have all loved them and had only positive comments to make on them.

I attended this course to progress in my career. The course met my objectives, Our tutor John Young was excellent

Very well explained at a good pace. Fantastic instructor and I hope to be training here again.

I attended this course to grow my testing skills. John taught the lesson in a very useful way to encourage a better understanding.

I took this course to acuire knowledge and skills of model based testing to enhance exisiting test process. I was happy with the pre-course organisation and administration. This course met my objectives which I was very satisifed with. The trainer Angelina was excellent

Trainer was excellent. His delivery and interesting diversions were a joy to listen to.

I attended this course to obtain my certification in advanced Test Analyst, the course and tutor was excellent

Thoroughly enjoyable course with a lot of detail and explanation. The trainer was also very good at assisting with a few questions where I was trying to look at how I could use certain aspects of what learned into our business when I get back. Can't thank him enough for this.

Very good introduction course and taught well. Good content and pace.

Really enjoyed the course. I thought the pacing and content were spot on, and the tutor kept it all interesting.

For what I expected this course to be, I was pleasantly surprised with the content and quality of the course, along with the tutoring from the trainer.

The course was challenging and met the training expectations. I have gained a number of skills, knowledge and information about PHP and MYSQL that I didn't fully appreciate before so this course is well worth attending. Excellent training that worked will all the levels of abilities in the group ensuring all candidates were stretched to suite their ability/requirements. Thank you!

I attended this course to fill in my knowledge gap. I was very satisifed with the course which met all my objects. The course tutor was excellent

Angelina was very friendly and approachable, she was happy to answer any queries that I had as we went along. I was initially a bit worried about remote learning, but things went very well. Angelina tried to make the course as interactive as possible, even though I know that it is hard to do this remotely. Thanks Angelina 🙂

Great to learn the basics and fundamentals of software testing

I thought the course was well run and everything was explained thoroughly.

Very good course still felt very crammed but that is the nature of the course. Some the presentation slides could be presented more formally and concisely to take the key messages away. Trainer was very knowledge not only on content but also test conditions. Trainer also had good knowledge in how to tailor the course to our needs.

Considering it was a virtual course it worked pretty well, still got as much out of it as I would've done in person. It was nice that is was one to one as it went at my pace and I was able to ask questions as and when.

Really good! Doing a remote course is not that easy but John was always there trying to keep people on the same page, applying for interactions and making everything really dynamic. Really appreciated!

Hard to say since I have not yet taken the exam but I thought the course was very well delivered, the trainer was excellent and friendly.

John was very helpful in explaining everything I needed to learn for the ISTQB exam, he was also very friendly and approachable. I was initially a bit worried about the remote learning, but John made the change from classroom learning to remote learning very easy.

I have attended John's courses before I think he is amazing coach. Demonstration of testing tools was very beneficial I think. It's great that we had opportunity to put theory and practice together.

Although I have concerns about an offline course it went well. Also, I like the course materials, it helps me a lot to pass for the exam.

Pros Good preparation with additional mock test. Most of the exam questions had already been explained by Rosie during the course. Cons I fully understand the difficulties of a remote course, however I think that the course should be more interactive. Otherwise, it ends up being boring. For homework and classroom exercises, I would expect that we discussed all of them, regardless of whether we mentioned that we have questions or not.

Appreciated having classroom, homework and mock exam exercises. Another mock exam booklet would also be useful to consolidate learning.

Very well structured course with excellent presentation from John. The only shortfall was about the fact that some of the content in the syllabus (About ROI and Estimation ) were not covered and John has been advised that those portions be reworded or removed from the syllabus.

Engaging content but seems like there is a huge amount of it to process in very little time for the examination.

Concise, a little overwhelming but great overall

There was a lot of content to learn but I feel John went through it very well and willingly slowed down and went over content until everyone confirmed they understood. Breaks were given at good intervals which helped everyone come back ready to absorb more content

Course was excellent, well paced, superb instructor and feel like I learned a lot.

I found this online course much better than expected. Content was very thorough and well-presented. John Young gave great explanations to queries throughout. As a trainer he's very patient and willing to get to the bottom of any questions that you have. He's also easy to listen to and understand.

The course was very good, although there was alot things to cover. I would certainly recommend doing the Foundation course before this one, I would have struggled if I hadn't done it beforehand.

It was easy to follow and the instructor was very friendly and patient. There was a great case study to follow with linked tasks.

Enjoyed the course and John helped me to understand the trickier parts. only wish I could take his brain whilst doing the exam.

I was very lucky to have my course 1:1 with the trainer which gave me a great benefit.
