Joining the SQA Ninja mentorship program was truly a transformative journey for me. Over the course of eight months, I gained far more than just technical skills—I developed a deep, practical understanding of software quality assurance that reshaped how I think about testing.

The program offered a solid foundation in both manual and automated testing, equipping me with the tools and frameworks used in real-world QA environments. I was especially impressed by how the curriculum broke down complex topics into clear, manageable steps. This made even the most challenging concepts feel approachable and actionable.

The hands-on projects and practical exercises were incredibly impactful. They gave me the confidence to take on different types of testing scenarios, from exploratory and regression testing to writing and executing automation scripts. Each task pushed me to think critically and reinforced the importance of attention to detail.

What stood out most was how the mentorship emphasized real industry practices, tools, and mindsets. I now approach testing with a structured, quality-first perspective and a heightened sensitivity to potential issues that could impact the user experience.

Thanks to the SQA Ninja program, I not only feel career-ready—I’m excited about the future I’m building in software testing. This program was a game-changer, and I’m truly grateful for the experience.
