Essentials of Quality Assurance

Course Overview

Most teams learn Quality Assurance the expensive way — through mistakes. This course offers the shortcut. The 3-day format alternates short theory sessions with extended practice, so skills are built rather than merely described. Delegates leave with working templates, worked examples and a clear picture of what to do differently on Monday.
