QAEverest Certification

Prove you can run QA the way it actually works now

Three levels, assessed on work you do in the platform rather than on multiple-choice questions. Covering test design, automation across web, API and mobile, failure triage, traceability and the call on whether you're safe to ship.

Certificate of Achievement

QAEverest Certified

Professional — Level 2

Verification IDQAE-••••-••••Issued byQAEverest
Three levels

Associate, Professional and Automation Architect — each one builds on the last.

Hands-on, not multiple choice

You are assessed on work you actually do in the platform and the practice sandbox.

Verifiable certificate

Every pass issues a certificate with a unique ID that anyone can check.

Shareable badge

Add it to your LinkedIn profile, your CV or your team's capability matrix.

The three levels

Start where you are, not at the beginning

Each level has its own assessment and its own certificate. Take them in order, or go straight to the one that matches the work you already do.

Level 1

QAEverest Certified Associate

Manual QA engineers and analysts≈ 4 hours

The foundation: turning a story into reviewed, traceable test cases without letting the tool decide what matters.

  • Refine a vague story into explicit, testable acceptance criteria
  • Generate test cases and review them against a coverage bar
  • Apply naming, granularity and format conventions consistently
  • Link every case back to the requirement it came from
Level 3

QAEverest Automation Architect

QA leads, managers and platform owners≈ 8 hours

The programme level: coverage strategy, release gating, governance and rolling AI-assisted QA out across more than one team.

  • Design a coverage strategy from a requirements traceability matrix
  • Gate a release on a defensible confidence score, not instinct
  • Configure roles, permissions and audit for a regulated environment
  • Evaluate AI agents and LLM features with drift baselines
Syllabus

What the certification covers

Eight subject areas, drawn from the parts of QA that cost teams the most time. Which of them appear in your assessment depends on the level.

Story refinement

Surfacing ambiguity early and turning a thin ticket into acceptance criteria a team can agree on.

Test design & generation

Path enumeration, boundaries, negatives and roles — and the review discipline that keeps volume from masquerading as coverage.

API automation

Building request flows, chaining data between calls, assertions, environments and authorisation.

Web & mobile UI automation

Codeless suites, locator strategy, cross-browser and device runs, and what to do when the UI moves.

Performance, security & accessibility

Load and stress profiles, vulnerability scanning and WCAG checks as part of the same pipeline.

Failure triage & root cause

Reading a replayable trace — console, network, DOM, step timeline — and clustering forty failures into one cause.

Traceability & release confidence

Requirement-to-test coverage, gap analysis, smart test selection from a diff, and gating a pipeline on a score.

Testing AI agents

Behavioural contracts, judge models, red-team scenarios and drift baselines for non-deterministic features.

How it works

Four steps from signup to certificate

Create a free account

Signup includes free credits, so you can work through the syllabus on the real platform rather than a demo of it.

Work through the modules

Short, self-paced modules per level. Each one ends with a task you complete in your own workspace.

Practise in the sandbox

Rehearse against the ShopVerse practice application, so you break something safe before you touch anything real. Open the practice page.

Sit the assessment

A practical assessment per level. Pass, and your certificate is issued with a unique verification ID.

Who it's for

Built for the people doing the testing

Manual QA moving to automation

A structured route from writing cases by hand to running suites, without needing to learn a framework first.

SDETs and automation engineers

Formal recognition of the maintenance, triage and coverage work that rarely fits on a CV.

QA leads and managers

A consistent bar across a team, and a capability matrix you can point at during an audit or a hiring round.

Consultancies and partners

Certified staff to put in front of clients, plus a shared vocabulary across engagements.

Questions

Before you start

Do I need automation experience to start?

No. Level 1 assumes you have tested software before but not that you have written automation code. Levels 2 and 3 build on it in order.

Is the assessment practical or theoretical?

Practical. You complete real tasks in the platform and the practice sandbox — refining a story, reviewing generated cases, building a suite, diagnosing a failed run — rather than answering questions about them.

How long does it take?

Each level is self-paced, with a rough guide of four to eight hours of focused work depending on the level. There is no fixed schedule and no cohort to wait for.

Can my whole team be certified together?

Yes. Team and organisation-wide certification, including a shared progress view for managers, is arranged through our team — get in touch and we will set it up.

How is a certificate verified?

Each certificate carries a unique ID. Anyone holding that ID can confirm the holder, the level and the issue date, so an employer never has to take a screenshot on trust.

Does the certificate expire?

The platform changes, so certification is revalidated periodically against the current syllabus. You will be told well before anything lapses.
