Common Questions
Frequently Asked
Do I have to enrol in both parts?
No. Both are independent, job-ready courses. Part 1 gives you the Foundation Certificate and prepares you for junior QA roles. You can choose to continue with Part 2 later — at your own pace.
Can I join Part 2 without doing Part 1?
Yes, if you already have 6–12 months of manual testing experience. Talk to a counsellor — they will assess your background and recommend the right entry point.
What is the session schedule?
Each day is a 2-hour live session (theory + hands-on lab). Sessions run on weekdays. Contact us for the next batch start date and available timings.
What tools do I learn?
Part 1: JIRA, Postman, MySQL, Playwright (basics), Git intro, ChatGPT/Gemini for QA.
Part 2: Playwright (advanced), REST Assured/SuperTest, GitHub Actions, Docker, K6/JMeter, Appium, Allure Reports.
Is there placement support?
Yes. Part 2 ends with a dedicated 5-day Career Launch phase covering resume building, LinkedIn optimisation, two mock interview rounds (technical + HR), and placement guidance specific to the Pune job market.
Do I get a certificate?
You receive two certificates: the QAstra Foundation Certificate on Day 40, and the QAstra SDET Professional Certificate on Day 80 after your capstone project demo.
Do I need a laptop or specific software?
A laptop with internet access is required. All software used (Playwright, Node.js, VS Code, Postman, Docker) is free. Installation guides are shared before the batch starts.
