What our past students say about Nopmark training

Stories from the front lines.

"Honestly, I was skeptical about how much a foundation course could actually change our day-to-day. But about halfway through the Nopmark training, I noticed the 'back-and-forth' between my testers and devs just started to drop. They were finally speaking the same language. Best budget I’ve spent this year, hands down."

"I was nervous about getting our whole team certified at once, mostly worried about the time away from projects and the risk of people failing. Nopmark made it easy. The trainers were great at explaining things in a way that actually made sense for our specific workflow. Not only is the team fully certified now, but our testing has become way more structured. Definitely the best ROI we’ve seen on training in a long time."

"I almost didn’t book this because the price seemed too good to be true compared to other providers charging 50% more. But I’m glad I did. The personal attention from the instructor was better than other courses I've taken. No inflated costs, just actual insights that made our team better by Monday morning."

"What really impressed me was how much they actually cared about our specific setup. The trainer didn't just read off a script; they took the time to understand the weird bugs we were actually struggling with and showed us how to use the ISTQB framework to manage them. I've never seen a team improve this fast."

"I’ve taken several cert courses, some way more expensive than this one, but this was the first time I didn't want to fall asleep. The instructor clearly lives and breathes this stuff. I didn't just feel ready for the exam; I felt ready for my actual job."

"Taking the instructor-led CTFL course was a total game-changer. Being in a live room (even virtually) with an expert who actually answers your questions made the "scary" topics feel simple. I walked into the exam confident and nailed it on the first try!"
