Can you get a QA job with no experience?
The most common fear when changing careers is “no one will hire me without experience.” In our data, the path from starting the course to getting hired takes 2–6 months on average — and here’s what actually drives that.
Anya moved from retail to Manual QA with zero technical experience: she focused on bug reports and test cases, and two months after a junior contract got a full-time offer. Jake left a warehouse for QA, practicing daily on one product and building an “evidence folder” — and landed a junior role after assembling a portfolio. Omar switched from delivery driving to QA by building a portfolio project with a test plan and regression checklist — and started getting steady interview invites.
The common pattern: not a diploma, but a tangible result — bug reports, test cases, a mini-project — you can show a recruiter. That’s what the QA Basic program teaches, including resume help and job support after the course.
