GOT QUESTIONS?

Frequently Asked Questions

Real questions from our community, answered by our experts

What is the main difference between Severity and Priority?

+

Severity measures the technical impact of a bug on the system (e.g., crash, data loss). Priority indicates the business urgency for fixing it (e.g., before a launch, for a key client). A bug can be High Severity but Low Priority if it occurs in a rarely used feature, and vice versa.

Do I need any coding experience for this course?

+

No, this course focuses on the conceptual, analytical, and process-driven aspects of QA. While helpful, coding is not required to master severity, priority, and defect management.

What tools will I learn to use?

+

You will gain hands-on experience with industry-standard tools like Jira for defect tracking, Confluence for documentation, and basic Excel/Sheets for defect metrics. Tool proficiency is a key outcome.

How is the job support provided?

+

Our 100% job support includes: 1) Resume and portfolio review tailored for QA roles, 2) Mock interviews focusing on defect management scenarios, 3) Direct referrals to our hiring partner network, and 4) Guidance on LinkedIn and job search strategy.

Can I interact with the mentors directly?

+

Absolutely. The core of our program is weekly 1:1 mentorship calls with your assigned QA expert. You can discuss projects, career questions, and get personalized feedback.

What if I miss a live session?

+

All live mentorship sessions and workshops are recorded and available in your student dashboard for lifetime access, so you can learn at your own pace.

What kind of certificate will I receive?

+

You will receive a verifiable certificate of completion from Lead With Skills. However, your main credential will be the public portfolio of 6 real-world projects, which is far more valuable to employers.

Is the course fee inclusive of everything?

+

Yes, the one-time fee of ₹18,999 covers the entire 12-week program, all learning materials, 1:1 mentorship, project reviews, job support, and lifetime access to the course content and community.

What are the eligibility criteria?
