04 · Results
Results from the first cohort
The first cohort ran as a 12-week pilot with five senior quality engineers. Three finished with results worth showing. The January programme is the 8-week format described above.
Moved into a Senior SDET role
Technically strong, but kept stalling at senior-level interviews. Finished the programme with the clarity and the practice needed to convert one.
Senior quality engineer · UKEntered a promotion negotiation
Moved from executing assigned tasks to identifying organisation-level problems. Productionised a real test automation initiative and earned a personal thank-you from a vice president.
Senior quality engineerOwned a niche outright
Built a Snowflake data-integrity initiative from scratch and became the organisation's recognised expert in that area.
