GOT QUESTIONS?

Frequently Asked Questions

Real questions from our community, answered by our experts

What is the main difference between verification and validation?

+

Verification asks, "Are we building the product right?" It involves checking documents, code, and design through reviews and static analysis. Validation asks, "Are we building the right product?" It involves executing the software through testing to ensure it meets user needs and requirements. Our course teaches you to apply both in real projects.

I have no coding experience. Can I join this course?

+

Absolutely. The first month focuses on foundational QA concepts without code. We gradually introduce automation with dedicated support. Our mentors provide 1:1 guidance to ensure you grasp the programming concepts needed for test automation.

How is this course relevant to getting a Node.js certification or job?

+

Understanding verification and validation is critical for testing any application, including Node.js backends. Our curriculum includes API testing with Postman, database validation, and integrating tests into CI/CD pipelines—all essential skills for QA roles in Node.js projects. This practical experience is more valuable than a theory-only certification.

What does the 100% job support include?

+

Our job support includes: resume and LinkedIn profile review tailored for QA roles, mock technical and HR interviews, portfolio presentation guidance, and access to our exclusive job portal with openings from partner companies. We prepare you to confidently discuss your verification and validation project work.

Will I learn automation tools?

+

Yes. You will gain hands-on experience with industry-standard tools: Selenium WebDriver for UI automation, Postman for API testing, JMeter for performance testing, and Git/GitHub Actions for version control and CI/CD integration. You'll use these tools to build your validation test suites.

How much time do I need to commit weekly?

+

We recommend 10-12 hours per week. This includes 3-4 hours of live/recorded sessions, 5-6 hours of hands-on project work and assignments, and a 1-hour weekly 1:1 mentorship session.

What if I miss a live session?

+

All live sessions are recorded and available on your student dashboard. You can access them anytime. Your weekly mentor session can be used to clarify doubts from the recorded content.

What kind of certificate will I receive?

+

You will receive a verifiable certificate of completion from Lead With Skills upon finishing all projects and assessments. More importantly, you will graduate with a professional portfolio of 6 projects, which is far more impactful for recruiters.

Is there any installment plan for the fee?

+

Yes, we offer flexible installment plans. You can choose to pay in two or three installments over the duration of the course. Please contact our admissions team for details.

What are the prerequisites for this course?

+

A logical mindset and willingness to learn are the main prerequisites. Basic computer literacy is expected. Prior exposure to software development or testing is beneficial but not mandatory. We start from the fundamentals.
