Software Testing Job Ready Program

What each program includes

Prices: All prices in the table include GST, and the amounts in brackets show the price before GST. Each program can be taken with or without certification exams.

Price with certification exams: This price covers your first attempt at each exam marked in the course table on your program’s page. Each exam has an exam timeframe of three months from finishing the related course. Complete our exam request form within that timeframe, and we will book your exam at an authorised test centre or through online proctoring where available for that exam.

Payment plan options: Ask our team about paying in instalments.

Upgrade to a higher program: You can upgrade by paying the difference in price, subject to intake availability.

Full-time and part-time training: Full-time training runs on weekdays. Part-time training runs on weeknights or weekends, and its duration depends on your class schedule and is confirmed in writing before you enrol.

Fast-track option for prior experience: If you have relevant experience, ask our team whether your training can be shortened.

Instructor-led training: Hands-on training in the classroom or live online. The courses in each program are shown in the course table on each program’s page.

Exam-style mock tests and certification practice questions: These help you prepare for your certification exams and assess your knowledge.

Career GearUP workshop: A group workshop covering current job market trends, job search techniques, interview techniques, and tips for writing your resume and cover letter.

ATS-friendly resume writing support: Many employers and recruiters use applicant tracking systems (ATS) to sort and search applications. We help you write a resume with a clear layout, standard headings and relevant keywords that these systems can read.

Tailored cover letter support: Help to write a cover letter tailored to the roles you apply for.

Remote internship: The internship is unpaid and for educational purposes. Its primary purpose is learning and skill development through practical exercises, simulated workplace scenarios and case studies. Depending on your field, this may include simulated projects or simulated support tickets based on fictional businesses. All projects and scenarios are simulated and are not real client work. Participants are not employees of Logitrain and do not perform productive work or contribute to Logitrain’s business operations. Anything participants create is used only for their learning and assessment, and participants may keep their work for their own portfolio. The internship does not lead to employment with Logitrain, and it runs after your training.

Internship completion certificate: If you complete all set internship tasks, you receive a certificate confirming the length of your internship.

LinkedIn profile review: Feedback on how your LinkedIn profile presents your skills to employers.

One-to-one Career GearUP coaching: Individual coaching sessions focused on your career plan, resume, LinkedIn profile and job applications, which can be used up to 6 months after your training is completed.

One-to-one mock interviews: Individual practice interviews with a Logitrain career consultant, with feedback on your answers to technical and behavioural questions.

Internship reference (email and phone): References are provided within 12 months of completing your internship. Each reference is for one employer, and we only provide references with your consent.

Job search and application coaching: A Logitrain career consultant coaches you through your job search. You learn how to find and assess advertised roles that suit your skills, and your consultant gives you feedback on the roles you choose and helps you tailor your resume and cover letter for each one. You submit your own applications, and Logitrain does not contact employers on your behalf. This coaching does not guarantee interviews or employment.

Certification exam retake (with exams): If you take Program 3 with certification exams and do not pass an exam, we cover one retake of that exam. The retake must be sat within six months of finishing the related course and follows the vendor’s retake rules, including any waiting periods.

Job Ready Programs are non-accredited training and do not lead to a nationally recognised qualification. Vendor certifications are issued by the vendors when you pass their exams.

† Certification exam included when you choose the price with certification exams. Select a course name to see its prerequisites, skills gained and course outline. Prices on individual course pages are for standalone courses and do not apply to Job Ready Programs.

Software Testing Job Ready Program FAQs

What does a software tester actually do?

A tester works out how a system could fail, then checks whether it does. That means reading requirements and user stories, writing and running test cases, logging defects clearly enough for a developer to reproduce them, retesting fixes and giving the team an honest picture of whether something is ready to release. Being methodical and writing clearly matter as much as technical skill.

Is manual testing finished now that everything is automated?

No, but it has changed. Repetitive checks are increasingly automated, and teams now expect testers to understand automation even in roles advertised as manual. What automation cannot do is decide what is worth testing, explore a new feature or judge whether something behaves sensibly for a real user. This program covers both sides for that reason.

Do I need to write code to be a tester?

Not to start. Test design, defect reporting and agile testing need no coding. Automation does need some, which is why the Selenium and Cucumber courses build the basics from scratch rather than assuming a programming background.

Why does ISTQB matter in Australia?

ISTQB is the international certification scheme for testers, supported locally by the Australian and New Zealand Testing Board, and Australian job advertisements name it more often than any other testing credential. Logitrain is an accredited ANZTB training provider for ISTQB Foundation, so the course material meets the local board’s standard.

What is the difference between Selenium and Cucumber?

Selenium drives the browser, clicking, typing and checking what appears on screen. Cucumber describes the behaviour being tested in plain language that the whole team can read, then connects those scenarios to the code that runs them. They are often used together, which is why you learn both.

Where can a testing career lead?

Testers move into senior and lead test roles, test automation engineering, performance or security testing, and test management. Automation skills are what open the higher paying paths, and the certifications in this program are the recognised steps along the way.
