GOT QUESTIONS?

Frequently Asked Questions

Real questions from our community, answered by our experts

What is the main difference between priority and severity in testing?

+

Severity refers to the technical impact of a bug on the system's functionality (e.g., a crash is high severity). Priority is the business urgency to fix it (e.g., a typo on the main sales button is high priority). A bug can be high severity but low priority if it occurs in a rarely used feature, and vice versa.

Do I need any prior coding or testing experience for this course?

+

No prior coding experience is required. We start from the absolute fundamentals of software testing. A logical mindset and attention to detail are the key prerequisites. For the automation integration module in Month 3, we provide starter code and full support.

How will this course help me get a job?

+

Beyond the certificate, you will build a portfolio of 6 real-world projects that demonstrate your bug triage and communication skills—exactly what hiring managers look for. We provide 100% job support including resume reviews, mock interviews, and direct referrals to our hiring partner network.

What tools will I learn to use?

+

You will gain hands-on experience with industry-standard tools like JIRA for bug tracking, TestRail for test management, Confluence for documentation, and get an introduction to automation tools like Selenium. The focus is on the process, not just the tool.

Is the ₹18999 fee a one-time payment or are there installments?

+

We offer flexible payment options. You can pay the full fee upfront or opt for a 3-part installment plan (₹7000 x 3). The total cost remains the same. Details are provided during the enrollment process.

How much time do I need to dedicate per week?

+

We recommend 10-12 hours per week. This includes 4 hours of live sessions/mentorship and 6-8 hours of self-paced project work and practice. The program is designed for working professionals and serious learners.

What if I miss a live mentorship session?

+

All live sessions are recorded and available in your student dashboard within 24 hours. You can also schedule 1:1 catch-up calls with your mentor to discuss any concepts you missed.

Will I get a certificate upon completion?

+

Yes, you will receive a verifiable certificate of completion from Lead With Skills. However, our primary focus is on your project portfolio, which holds far more weight with employers than a certificate alone.

Can I interact with other students in the program?

+

Absolutely. You will be part of a dedicated cohort Slack/Discord community for peer learning, project collaboration, and networking. Many of our alumni stay connected for job referrals and advice.

What is your refund policy?

+

We offer a 100% refund within the first 3 days of the program if you feel it's not the right fit, no questions asked. After that, we are confident in the program's value and do not offer refunds, but we will provide full support to ensure your success.
