Questions and answers
How is your 3 Months Software Tester Course different to 6 Months course?
Answer:Thanks for reaching out, Krishna. Key differences: 1. Besides timescale, firstly, it's the number of projects - as part of Software Tester Course 3-months you would get an opportunity to work on 2 Testing Projects, however 5 projects are covered in STC 6-months. 2. Secondly, STC 3-months is most suitable for those who are already into IT (Support function, etc.) however would like to switch to Software Testing. Software Tester Course 6-months is for absolute beginners - NO IT exposure needed.
