Thanks to the success of the first generation of QAmpers, our Talent and QA team had quite a challenge ahead of them. The second cycle of the Atlantbh QA education had over 900 applicants! This is what happens when you have real success stories to share. After a detailed selection process, 18 people got the opportunity to spend the next few months learning QA processes and tools from our experts, who have years of experience working on different projects. It will not be easy, but the Atlantbh free QA education will prepare these motivated individuals for their first QA jobs. We are looking forward to following up on their QA journey!

Last year at this time, Damir was working in a real estate agency. He knew only the basics about the QA engineer position and the IT industry, and had never written a single line of code until then. Also, last year, the call for the first round of QAmp was announced. This education aims to help those wanting to change their careers and enter the IT world. Atlantbh experts have created an entirely new training program in which people without prior knowledge can become competitive in the IT market after three months of education. Change of career in just three months During the selection process, he did a lot of research about this position, but it seemed almost impossible to him that he would have the skills of a QA engineer in three months. However, with the beginning of QAmp, that changed very quickly. “In a period of about three months, I gained a large amount of knowledge and new skills thanks to the lecturers and the well-designed program of QAmp. In addition to acquired knowledge about the IT industry and the QA engineer position itself, what initially seemed impossible became a reality – I started writing scripts for testing web applications,” says Damir about his experience. Advantages of QAmp What Damir points out as an advantage of QAmp is that the lecturers are not just transferring the information, but have also shared their many years of practical experience with QAmpers. Because of working on large and challenging projects, they know what it takes for someone not only to become a QA engineer, but to do that job well and with quality. “Practical advice, which relates not only to technical skills, but also to working on projects, is impossible for you to learn on your own. It is even more difficult to find courses and trainings that will provide different profiles of lecturers, and someone who has actually worked in practice for many years and knows how to do things properly,” continues Damir. A message to future QAmpers Damir says that the process itself was not easy for him. Sometimes, he doubted whether he could spare time for studying, in addition to working full-time and having a family. However, he set aside all his free time for study and work, and with the instructions and help of the lecturer, he acquired new knowledge and skills. He wants to tell future QAmpers that it takes a lot of persistence, work, learning and the desire to research, and that when you think you can’t master something – don’t give up. Damir did not give up, and today he is a QA engineer at Atlantbh, and the lecturers he learned from are now his colleagues. The only thing that hasn’t changed is that the learning hasn’t stopped even though he is now an Atlanter. Every day he absorbs new knowledge related to the technologies he works with.

Senita is currently a Junior QA engineer at Atlantbh. Her QA story began a year ago, when the call for the first cycle of QAmp was announced. At that time, she was a student at the Faculty of Traffic and Communications, and in her free time, she worked as a nail artist. Although her initial interest was in Software Development, her college colleagues turned her attention to the QA engineer position. By researching more about it, she realized that it could be a good choice for her. Soon after, she learned about QAmp. QAmp allowed me to figure out what I want to do in life QAmp is a high-quality education for QA engineers, created by Atlantbh experts with many years of experience in this field. The education is free, and the lectures are held in the afternoon, so it is suitable for those who already have a job in another branch. The goal of QAmp is that after three months, the participants will become competitive in the labor market without any prior knowledge. “QAmp allowed me to understand what I want to do in life. The biggest contribution to my decision was the lecturers, who are great professionals. It’s incredible how much knowledge they imparted to us in a short period of three months. The instructors always reflected on practical experiences and situations from their everyday lives through the lectures. Those two lectures a week meant more to me than weeks spent at the university. The tasks we did independently were not easy, but I liked them the most because they represented the challenges we faced daily.” says Senita. How seven QAmpers got a job at Atlantbh After completing the QAmp, Senita, along with six other QAmpers, acquired enough knowledge and skills to be successfully employed at Atlantbh. “My message to everyone who wants to apply for QAmp is that it will not be easy, but it is essential not to give up. I am an example that if you want to achieve something, you must persist in it. Lack of time should not be an excuse, because everything can be achieved with will and desire. I am currently employed at Atlantbh, but in addition to that, I am also studying and still doing my hobby – nail art,” she says to all future QAmpers.
