Course Review: NeoTech Automation Testing ProgramAs someone who completed the NeoTech Automation Testing course in the summer of 2024, I feel compelled to offer a candid review. While the course provided some valuable skills relevant to automation testing, it’s essential to consider a few critical factors before investing your time and money.First, it’s important to note that many employers in the tech industry still prefer candidates with a bachelor’s degree in computer science or a related field. While it's not impossible to secure a job without a degree, it can certainly limit your opportunities, as most employers do require formal education.The course itself was decent, though the format felt somewhat static—more like watching YouTube tutorials than engaging in an interactive learning experience. While the instructors were knowledgeable and approachable, the level of support could have been stronger.One crucial piece of advice: before committing to the program—which costs almost $5,000 and takes over six months to complete—I highly recommend doing thorough research on the current job market. Remote positions are rare, and many companies are reverting to on-site roles. Additionally, while the course advertises competitive salaries, the reality is that average salaries in the field are currently around $85,000 per year, with some positions offering less than $20 per hour.Finally, I suggest testing your chances by creating a resume with the skills taught in the course, even if you're still in the early stages. Submit applications to get a feel for what employers are looking for and assess your real chances of landing a job.It's worth noting that three months after graduating, I haven't heard of anyone from my batch landing employment. This doesn’t necessarily reflect the quality of the course, but it’s important to manage your expectations and be aware of the challenges ahead.
