Well-delivered and engaging content; presentation was well-prepared and the approach to group learning worked quite well for my learning style. Rosie also did excellent at expressing the importance of the ‘ISTQB mindset’ ahead of the exam – no criticism here.
Mark Frost | Test Analyst | Frontier –
Very friendly, came across very well spoken. took time to explain when needed.
only very very small thing that was hard to follow was the on screen drawing, some were fine but others were not, the drawing tool isnt the best so hard to follow.
Trixy Arellano | QA Engineer | Bally’s –
The course is very interesting and even though I’m already have a background in testing, there’s a lot of things I still didn’t know or aware of.
It will be helpful I guess if we can have a board where everyone can put their answers
For the trainer, even though she was sick, she still tried her best to discuss and make the participants involved on the traning course. Since English is not my first language, I just have have a hard time to comprehend or get the topic easy since she spoke fast.
Overall, great training course for newbies or experienced in software testing!

Broken down and challenged at each stage, often asking individuals questions to ensure focus,
There is still a lot of theory to digest however before next week’s exam which I will need to reinforce
