Automation testing uses programming and specialised tools to automatically execute repeatable software tests, confirming applications behave correctly across browsers, environments and product builds.
Hands-On Automation Testing Training in Australia With a Price Beat Guarantee
Automation Testing Course
The Automation Testing Course is an instructor-led, hands-on course that teaches you how to move from manual checking to running software tests automatically with code. It builds the Java programming foundation that almost every automation tool depends on, covering variables, methods, classes and objects, constructors and the collections framework, so you can read, write and maintain real automated test scripts rather than only understanding the theory. The course suits manual testers stepping into automation, career changers entering software testing, and developers who want to write reliable automated tests. There is no certification exam attached to this course, so it is the practical starting point before you specialise in a tool-based certification.
Who this course is for
It is built for people who want a genuine grounding in test automation before committing to a specific framework. If you already know you want the Selenium tool specifically, the Selenium Certification Course takes the programming basics you build here and applies them to the Selenium WebDriver toolset with the certification exam included. If you are completely new to testing concepts, the Introduction to Software Testing Course is a gentler first step.
Where it leads
Once you are comfortable writing automated tests, the natural progression is a recognised certification. Many learners move on to the A4Q Selenium 4 Tester Foundation certification for web automation, or the ISTQB Advanced Test Automation Engineer Course for designing automation frameworks at a senior level. Logitrain has trained over 15,000 professionals since 2004, and this course is delivered live in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane classrooms or live online across the rest of Australia.
Automation is where software testing careers are heading, because teams can no longer test modern applications by hand alone. Knowing how to write and maintain automated tests is one of the most in demand skills in quality assurance, and it lifts a tester from running scripts somebody else wrote to building the automation itself. This course proves you can program the logic behind automated tests, which is the capability employers actually screen for when they advertise automation roles.
The Logitrain case is straightforward. You keep the full course material in digital format for the exam and tool you are studying, you train with skilled, experienced trainers in a hands-on classroom or live online setting, and every course carries our price beat guarantee, so if you find the same course advertised for less we will beat the price. You can train in person in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, or live online in real time anywhere in Australia including Adelaide, Perth and Canberra, with three timetable options covering weekdays, weeknights and weekends so the course fits around work. Logitrain has trained over 15,000 professionals and worked with over 2,500 Australian organisations since 2004.
There are no hard prerequisites for the Automation Testing Course. Anyone who wants to learn automation testing can enrol.
A basic understanding of programming is recommended but not required, because the course builds the Java fundamentals from the ground up. If you have never tested software before, you will get more out of the course by first completing the Introduction to Software Testing Course, which covers test cases, test planning and testing techniques in plain language.
There is no certification exam associated with this course.
You receive a Certificate of Attendance on completion to recognise your commitment to learning. If you would like a course with a recognised certification exam included, the Selenium Certification Course includes the official A4Q Selenium 4 Tester Foundation exam.
Course material for the Automation Testing Course is provided to every participant in digital format. The material follows the course outline and is yours to keep for revision.

What is automation testing?
Automation testing is the practice of running software tests automatically using code and specialised tools, rather than checking each test by hand. It lets teams run the same tests quickly and repeatedly across browsers and builds.
Does this course include a certification exam?
No. There is no certification exam attached to this course. You receive a Certificate of Attendance on completion. If you want a certification with the exam included, look at the Selenium Certification Course.
Do I need programming experience to start?
No. There are no hard prerequisites. Basic programming knowledge helps, but the course builds the Java fundamentals from the beginning.
How long is the Automation Testing Course?
The course runs full time over consecutive weekdays, or part time over the same number of weeks in the evenings or on weekends. Confirm the current dates and duration on the schedule on this page.
Where can I take the course?
In person in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, and live online in real time across the rest of Australia including Adelaide, Perth and Canberra.
Should I learn automation testing or Selenium first?
If you are new to programming, start with this course to build the Java foundation, then move to the Selenium Certification Course to specialise in the most widely used web automation tool.
Is manual testing covered as well?
This course focuses on automation and the programming behind it. For manual testing fundamentals, start with the Introduction to Software Testing Course.
