As the leading authority on tech bootcamps, the team at Course Report has been researching, tracking, and sharing updates on this industry since 2013. Because the QA Testing career path has risen in popularity in 2022, we're using our knowledge and expertise to curate the first list of the top QA Testing bootcamps and data analysis bootcamps around the world. Put simply, these are the 8 QA Testing schools we would recommend to our own family and friends.
These bootcamps teach students the skills to become a Manual QA Tester, QA Engineer, QA Analyst, or Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) by covering Python, Selenium, and skills like mobile and web application testing, debugging, test automation, documentation, and more. We have included Manual QA Testing and Automated QA Testing bootcamps in this list.
To be considered for this list of top Quality Assurance Bootcamps, schools must meet the following criteria:
Bootcamps in the Rising Stars category have stood out to us because they've been rated highly by alumni, shown growth over the last year, or demonstrated a proven curriculum.
This list is not a ranking, but rather QA Testing programs are listed alphabetically. Remember, there is no ultimate "best QA Testing boot camp" - the best QA program for you depends on your own learning style, career goals, availability, etc. No matter how many accolades a school has, make sure you do your research: read reviews, talk to alumni, take an intro course, and ask about job outcomes data. This list includes QA Testing bootcamps only - for more, check out our list of Best Coding Bootcamps, Best Online Bootcamps, Best UX/UI Design Bootcamps, Best Digital Marketing Bootcamps, Best Cyber Security Bootcamps, Best Data Science Bootcamps, Best Product Management Bootcamps and Best Tech Sales Bootcamps.
When QA Testing courses stand out in certain areas, we award them the following Badges of Honor:
Marketing partnerships that Course Report may have with schools on this list bear no weight in the ranking process.

QA bootcamps will teach you the skills you need to quickly and efficiently land your first software testing job. That means you'll learn Python, Selenium, and skills like mobile and web application testing, debugging, test automation, documentation, and more. Some QA bootcamps specialize in Manual QA while others teach QA Automation (slightly more advanced).
Compared to the other paths into software testing - college or self-teaching - QA Testing bootcamps are a quick and low-cost way to break into this booming industry. You'll typically expect to land jobs like Manual QA Tester, QA Engineer, QA Analyst, or Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET).
A QA bootcamp typically costs ~$5,000, and QA testers typically earn over $70,000 salaries. So if the math makes sense to you, then a QA testing bootcamp is worth it.
QA tester bootcamps cost from $3,000 to $7,000 and can take between 6-12 weeks.
The best QA testing course for you depends on your own learning style, career goals, programming background, availability, etc. If you are a complete tech beginner, then you'll probably start with Manual QA. If you have some programming experience, then you should look for a QA Automation bootcamp or a bootcamp that teached to SDET.
Watch out for Red Flags at a QA testing bootcamp - the bootcamp doesn't offer any access to live mentorship, can't tell you about past student career success, or teaches an outdated curriculum.
