In order to study the course materials comfortably, it is important to master the basics of Java programming before. You can prepare by going through the recommended materials on Java basics. Those who are familiar with programming in another language should be able to quickly jump in, having a quick look at the Java syntax and having a little practice on the simplest tasks.

In general, it is not enough. The program of the course will help you to "become an engineer", learn to "get things done", "solve problems", "find answers to questions", but does not cover all the knowledge that is usually required by an automation engineer when hiring.

In addition to the course program, it's worth

... initially:

• learn the basics of programming

... definitely:

• master the basics of testing
• know how to work with raw Selenium Webdriver, Remote WebDriver, Selenium Grid
• understand "Test Pyramid"
• install and work with Jenkins,

... preferably:

• work with command line
• work with Docker and Docker Compose

• know how to set up on containers – Grid/Selenoid and Jenkins
• parallelize tests
• configure tests reporting
• organise test suites with markers/tags
• know how to write API-tests

... may be useful:

• know about performance testing

At the same time, there are cases when people get a job without the above knowledge and deal with everything as needed. "Deal with everything as needed" is exactly what you can learn by going through the program of this course;)

The main responsibility for checking their assignments is held by the students themselves. Each solution can be independently verified and improved according to the recorded video-reviews of common mistakes.

But before and after passing such a "video-review", the student receives individual feedback on the first version of his solution and the final one (after working out his decision according to video-reviews). A review usually looks either as an audio-message from 2 to 10 minutes or as a series of text messages that briefly describe the mistakes encountered in the solution.

It really can be. Although there are video materials for self-checking your solutions by analyzing common mistakes, and two individual reviews by the course curator – for the solution before watching the video materials and for the correspondingly improved solution - after watching. Depending on the individual characteristics of the perception of a student it may not be enough to fully understand the topic of the lesson. Someone does not perceive the information well on the recorded materials, and an even more individual approach is needed, and most importantly – live communication with the curator/mentor. Someone has a slightly different rate of perception - faster, or slower. Someone needs more reps. Someone needs the information in a more concise format.

We do our best to prepare the materials as universally as possible while going for certain simplifications. Unfortunately for the declared price, we cannot afford to devote more time to checking tasks. As an exception, we can check one or more tasks more than twice, so that it is easier for you to feel and find your pace of training, and adapt to the maximum. And then, if you need more than two task reviews, you can simply pay for the course again to increase the number of task tests from 2 to 4. And so on, by analogy.

Access to materials costs $ 35 at the exchange rate in hryvnias. Materials will be opened gradually, as well as in the full version of the course (see below the answer to the question "When do you open access to materials"). Bear in mind that in this case you only buy materials for the course version in one programming language. By purchasing the full version, and having completed all the tasks, you would have gained access to the materials of the course version for other programming languages available on this site.

So far, direct purchase through the site of access to materials has not been implemented. Contact us and leave a request. We will contact you shortly to discuss the details.

This is a series of video recordings in the format of "screencasts" for various common mistakes often encountered in solutions, with detailed comments by the author to the code. The author often mentions several related mistakes along the way, and also, sharing some hints, suggests the student pause the video, think about improving the solution on their own, and then continue watching, finally checking himself.

For each task out of 14, there will be about 10 video recordings with a total duration of up to an hour, depending on the complexity of the tasks. These are approximate numbers. The number of entries grows with the number of students who completed the course. New mistakes constantly appear;)

The education lasts up to 3 months, depending on how the group will cope with the tasks. After the deadline, access to the materials remains.

Now the rate is fairly moderate. For each task of 14, about a week is given, depending on the complexity of the task and the enthusiasm of the group. We adapt to more or less active students. We are not waiting for the "slowpokes":), but they always have the opportunity to catch up until 3 months are over. After the end of the period, you won't get individual reviews anymore, but you'll still have access to all materials, including video reviews of common mistakes for self-checking. Also, the course is quite affordable and you can always buy one more for the promotion of termination for 3 months.

After enrolling in the course and successful payment, the student is given access to his personal account (a generated password will be sent by mail). In the personal account, only the recommended materials for preparing for the start of the course will be immediately available. On the declared day of the start, the first lecture in the form of an article and homework will be opened. As soon as the first students complete the assignment, receive feedback and work out their decision on the prepared video review of common mistakes, the next lesson or assignment will be opened. And so on until the end of the program over the next 3 months of study.

After graduation (after solving and passing all tasks) - access to the materials of the versions of this course for other programming languages available on this site through your account is opened. In your account, the access is given to a certain full language version of the course (Python, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, ...) after at least one group of students has passed the standard 3-month period of study in this programming language.

Yes. As long as the site lives, there remains access to all materials: theory, tasks, and video reviews of common mistakes. Also, after completing the course, access to materials in pdf format is given.

The number of students in the group is not limited.
