Ian Parsons | QA Test Analyst | Principality Building Society –
Surprised as to the content – a lot of focus on the fundamentals and machinations of Agile as opposed to Agile testing, but suppose I would have realised that had I thoroughly checked the syllabus first. Pitched at a good level given the range of agile experience in the training group. Not overly happy with the wording/rationale for some of the sample exam questions.
Byron Phillips | QA | Principality Building Society –
Course is good and a lot to learn, what does concern me is that some of the exam questions are intended to catch you out rather than based on the learning material
Dylan Whyte | QA Lead | Jagex –
John is a great trainer, he is good at explaining and is always happy to answer questions. _x000D_

My problems are with the TSG mock exam questions. I’m dyslexic and a good 6/36 requires having an intimate understanding of the nuances of the English language to decipher. I understand that some of the questions are supposed to be tricky but they are way different to the actual exam from my experience. I think the training exam is a red herring that adds unnecessary stress to an already information heavy training course. I would like to be able to understand the question and apply my knowledge instead of tripping up due to the sheer complexity and long-winded unhelpful questions. It’s demoralising and makes me feel don’t understand anything. The majority of the time, if the question is re-worded I can answer the question and get it right with no issues. _x000D_
_x000D_
I would not have an issue if the questions were long but concise but there are lots of connecting words and double negatives that create a labyrinth of potential misinterpretations._x000D_
_x000D_
I just believe the jumping through hoops to try understand a question is pointless and unnecessary. _x000D_
_x000D_
Sorry for my very cynical feedback but this is how I feel. _x000D_

Just a heads up about this form, you can tick all the options in the “how would you rate your trainer.”_x000D_

Trainer was pleasant and knowledgeable on the subject matter. Course material was covered at a good rate. A number of the questions in the sample exam material were poorly phrased, our trainer even agreed they would be unlikely to appears as phrased in a real exam. This made the sample questions, and the time take to review them feel extremely counter productive.
Graeme Churchman | Junior SDET | Jagex –
Information was clear, but did feel like some parts were skipped over more than others (possibly as they are less important / unlikely to be in the exam). I would have liked to do more practice questions (5-10) at the end of each section as I find this helps me cement the learning that just took place, rather than doing one or two questions along with all others at the end._x000D_
_x000D_
I would have liked a little more exam technique training, or advice on the sort of questions that would have been asked (this could have been covered by the above additional practice questions)._x000D_
_x000D_
I was also disappointed that the practice questions were not like the exam questions, either not in the same format (select multiple answers) or wouldn’t have been selected for the exam as they didn’t have enough context._x000D_
_x000D_
Finally John himself was very friendly and I would do training with him again, though I have to admit I did find it quite difficult to read his handwriting some times!
Katie Stanford | Junior QA Analysis | Jagex –
I enjoyed the course, considering it was digital and not in a classroom which i personally prefer. Trainer was very helpful. Only this is please avoid having so many ‘need more context’ questions in sample papers, as they dont help and just make me personally feel dumb.
Philip Wright | Test Engineer | Principality Building Society –
Enjoyed the course but the exam questions I found could be very open to interpretation (Cases being ‘BEST’ or ‘MOST LIKELY’).
Nathan Grabham | Test Engineer | Principality –
Good information although its too much to digest in just two days.
Robert Macdonald | Software Test Apprentice | IBM –
I thought it felt more like a second ISTQB course rather than a Agile course, but either way enjoyed it and felt like I learnt a lot from it._x000D_
_x000D_
I think to improve, it would be really helpful just to have a final slide with the definitions of some of the key words/topics and maybe summarize the main differences between similar topics (like release and iteration charts)
Scott Newberry | Test Team Lead | IDBS –
Engaging, thought-provoking presentation of various aspects of security testing
Saskia Cope | Test Lead | Capgemini –
Very informative, each slide described in detail to support with the exam questions. Would be good to go through more exam questions during the course and perhaps less exercises.
Simon Wright | Programme Test Manager | Capgemini –
The course content was good, unfortunately it felt like it was designed for a classroom delivery rather than online and this was difficult as things that would probably have been really good discussions in a classroom did not transpire to be so good online.
Philip White | QA Analyst | Jagex –
The course was well paced, with questions intermittently breaking up sections of listening, confirming that the information conveyed was taken in and gave opportunity to question anything that may not have been understood._x000D_
_x000D_
Being an online course, I found it very uncomfortable that neither the attendees nor the trainer had cameras on, as I couldn’t read body language or get other visual cues to inform when and where I could or should speak._x000D_
_x000D_
Regular breaks were appreciated as they allowed some space for a bit of a mental refresh and time away from a screen.
Kristina Savciuk | QA Analyst | Jagex –
Course was great!
Andrew Churcher | Senior QA Engineer | Jagex –
The hand written notes could be difficult to read at times, would suggest a thinner tip on the pen.
steph scanlon | Principal QA Analyst | Jagex –
John is a fantastic trainer, if only I had John for my foundation course many moons ago! Everything on the course was fully explained to us in a way the group could understand and no question felt “stupid”. _x000D_
_x000D_
I hope to have John training me in future courses as I now feel more ready to take on my exam.
Vytautas Januskevicius | QA Analyst | Jagex –
John was great at explaining the course, good and informative. Great at explaining exam questions.
Luke Goodridge | QA Analyst | Jagex –
Very well done, was clear on all aspects, ready for my exam
Fola Olagunju | Senior Test Analyst |WTC –
Well rounded course with good explanations to go with each slide
Philippa Hodge | Automation Tester |WTC –
Very hard to deliver this online so John did a fine job of giving us what we need to hopefully pass the exam.
