Testimonials

Rob Moffat Full stack developer

Over the years, programming has been democratised, which is good, right? It's much easier to build things now. But how about building the legal thing, the honest thing, the not-confusing thing, or the accessible thing? I wonder how much of my day is spent wrestling with ill-thought-through IT systems that don't care enough about the end-user? Opquasts’certification for web quality is all about de-risking the user experience. Knowing about and following best-practices and standards is everyone's job in product development, from marketing to technical and support to community managers.

Arnaud MalonIT Project Manager

It was really a great experience. We came out sharp, ready to polish new quality sites, new applications and digital campaigns. We all learned a lot. We spent a month discussing the quality a lot: suddenly, in addition to the emulation between the different members of the team, I really feel that we have shared something, and that we have made progress all together.

Serena PontorieroEngagement Manager

The training gives us a cross-perspective on the different professions of the web. We touch everything. Despite a non-technical profile, I gained a better understanding of web aspects that are not part of my core business skills, for example, developer tasks, such as minifying scripts, which can speed up page loading. All this contributes to a more efficient web and, therefore, a more responsible web. It's crucial for a project manager to have all these parameters in mind.

The course itself is well structured and easy to follow, you aren’t required to have previous knowledge of the topics to understand all the valuable information you are learning about. And, the multiple-choice quizzes and mock exams are a great way to reenforce your learning of each module as you go. I am recommending this training to my technology, business development, and strategic teams because I believe the web quality assurance standards need to be embedded in our foundational approach.
