The course prepares the participant for a position as an entry level Software QA Tester in the high tech industry, and also prepares the student to take the Software Testing Qualification Board test and gain the Certificate in Testing - Foundation Level (CTFL).

BECOME A RACE SPONSOR:
Autism now affects 1 in every 36 children in the US today. That’s up from the previous 1 in 44 children just 2 years ago. To help, the money raised by the Race for Autism stays in San Diego to fund employment training for teens and young adults, educational programs for newly diagnosed families, parent programs, and has invested more than 2.2 million dollars in community programs and classrooms, benefitting thousands of local children and their families.
