07 · Questions

Before you enrol

The things people ask us on the call, answered here so you do not have to book one first.

Do I need experience before I start?
Beginner+ to Intermediate. Modules 01 and 02 cover what testers actually do and how a test is designed before any automation appears, so you can start from manual QA or from nothing at all. Some programming comfort starts to help in Module 03, when Selenium and the Page Object Model arrive.
When does the next cohort run?
Next batch — enrolling now. It runs for 6 weeks — Live cohort · 3 evenings a week · US-Eastern. We confirm your exact start date when your application is approved.
Are the classes live, or recorded video?
Live. The schedule above is real class time with an instructor in the room — you interrupt, you ask, you get an answer. That is the whole reason this is sold as a cohort and not as a video library.
How much of this is hands-on?
Every module is worked through with the instructor, tool by tool, and the outcomes above are what you should be able to do unaided by the end. To be exact about what a seat buys: a live cohort, the full curriculum, and access to the InfraBuild Labs platform. The platform's interactive lab content is DevOps-first today — we would rather say so here than let you find out later.
What is InfraBuild Labs, and how long do I keep it?
It is our own lab platform: browser terminals wired to real machines, guided exercises and per-task verification. Its interactive content is DevOps-first today, so on this track treat it as the environment you practise and build in rather than a second copy of this syllabus. Your seat includes — of access.
How does enrolment actually work?
Four steps. You apply on the labs platform and pick this track. You pay for the seat — a partner referral code comes off the price at that point. We review the application by hand. Once you are approved you get your labs account and the cohort schedule, and you start.
A partner gave me a referral code — where does it go?
If you arrived on a link carrying the code, it is already applied: you can see it on the price above, and it stays with you for thirty days even if you close the tab. If you have a code but no link, enter it at checkout. Either way the platform is the authority on what it is worth — the figure you see here comes from it, not from this page.
I already test manually. Will the first weeks be wasted on me?
No, but they will be quick. Modules 01 and 02 sharpen test design — equivalence partitioning, boundary values, decision tables, charters — which is exactly the thinking that separates a suite worth trusting from a thousand brittle assertions. Selenium arrives in Module 03 and the pace does not let up after it.
Do you help with interviews and the job search?
That is a separate service, deliberately. The bootcamp buys you the skill and the work to show for it; our Career Solutions line covers resume and LinkedIn work, mock interviews and application support. Ask us and we will tell you honestly whether you need it yet.
