Proof of learning

See what Testify students build and test.

Our students apply their learning to practical projects. They identify risks, design tests, report defects and present their findings before industry professionals.

A Testify Academy student defending her testing project before reviewers
Live project defence before industry reviewers

Every cohort ends with a defence session. Students walk reviewers through the risks they found, the tests they designed and the decisions behind their reports.

Testing scope and risk

Each project starts with a defined product area, a risk assessment and a test approach the student must justify.

Tools and evidence

Students work with the tools taught in their programme and submit test cases, defect reports and a summary report.

Defence and feedback

Every project is presented to reviewers, with written mentor feedback recorded on the student's report card.

Individual student projects are published with the student's written permission and the product owner's approval, so named project cards appear here as each is cleared.

From our graduates

Careers changed through structured learning and consistent work.

Each story records the graduate's previous background, the programme completed, the project they defended and where they work now.

Evidence, not claims

Assessed weekly work

Every graduate submits a graded assignment each week and receives written mentor feedback on it.

A defended project

No certificate is issued until the graduate has presented and defended a real testing project.

A report card employers can read

Graduates leave with a record of scores, deliverables and mentor comments, not just a certificate.

Graduate stories are published here once each graduate has confirmed their role, employer and photograph. Graduated with us? Share your story.

Beyond the classroom

Build the skills and evidence needed for your next opportunity.

Career support helps you present your experience, projects and professional value more clearly.

Two senior Testify Academy mentors reviewing student test reports
Practising professionals, not full time lecturers

Principal Mentor, Foundations Faculty

Lead mentor, beginner and career switch programs

Twelve years of hands on quality work across fintech, health tech and public sector delivery, the last six spent building beginner pipelines for product teams that had never hired a tester before. Runs the Friday live review class, marks every assignment personally and writes the report card that goes out with your certificate.

Senior Mentor, Testing Craft Faculty

Lead mentor, Deep Dive Into Software Testing

A practising Quality Engineer on live payment and lending products, where a missed edge case is measured in money. Teaches testers to argue for coverage with evidence, to write a strategy a product lead will actually read, and to trace a defect back to the decision that caused it.

Automation Lead Mentor

Lead mentor, Upskill with Test Automation

Spends the working week maintaining automated suites that run on every merge, so the class is taught the way the job is actually done: small, readable, stable tests that survive a redesign. Reviews your code, not just your results, and leaves written feedback on each pull request you submit.

AI Quality Mentor

Lead mentor, AI Testing

Tests AI powered features in production, which means grading answers that are never identical twice. Teaches evaluation sets, hallucination and bias probes, prompt driven test generation, and where an AI assistant genuinely shortens your day rather than quietly inventing coverage you do not have.

Founder and Executive Faculty

Lead mentor, leadership programs

Has built quality engineering practices and delivered testing engagements across eighteen countries, and now sits on the buying side of the table often enough to know which quality arguments survive a board meeting. Runs the leadership cohorts as working sessions on your own organisation, not as lectures.

Practice Mentor, Test Leadership

Co mentor, Test Management for Test Leaders

Manages testers for a living and teaches the part nobody trained them for: running a one to one that changes behaviour, sizing a team against a roadmap, defending a testing timeline without losing the room, and coaching a struggling tester back to competence.
