TheĀ Certified Selenium Tester Foundation certificationĀ is based on a practical training course aimed at test professionals who desire an understanding of how to design, implement and maintain automated solutions using Selenium WebDriver.
Upon the successful completion of the course, you will be able to create and run Selenium WebDriver tests without supervision.
You will be able to apply correctly test automation principles to build a maintainable test automation solution.
You will be able to choose and implement correct test automation tools.
You will be able to implement Selenium WebDriver scripts that execute functional web application tests and implement maintainable scripts
Who is it for?
This course is ideal for automators and those who want to learn automation using the Selenium WebDriver toolset. While this course is accessible to anyone wanting to acquire a basic, hands-on knowledge of Selenium, the main audiences are:
People with no test automation experience who are starting to automate in Selenium (or who want to get a job doing that)
People with some GUI test automation experience who are new to Selenium or starting to automate in Selenium (or who want to get a job doing that)
People with some non-GUI test automation experience who are new to Selenium and starting to automate in Selenium (or who want to get a job doing that)
Next steps/Follow on courses
You will be able to undertake additional certification at the Advanced Level (when released)
As automation plays an increasingly important role in the systems development process, employers have begun to accept the need for structure and qualification as a way of standardising things and getting a return on their investment. Senior trainer Rosie Sheldon talks you though the Selenium WebDriver Foundation Tester course.
Attendees should have general knowledge of basic programming and some knowledge of Python.
Exam
After taking the iSQI Certified Selenium WebDriver Foundation Tester course and passing the exam, you will have an independent, internationally recognized certification as proof of expertise in the field of test automation with Selenium WebDriver.
The exam comprises of 40 multiple-choice questions. Each correct answer has a value of one point. A score of at least 65% (that is, 26 or more questions answered correctly) is required to pass the exam. The time allowed to take the exam is 60 minutes. If the candidateās native language is not the examination language, the candidate may be allowed an extra 25% (15 minutes) time.
Course Objectives

Jason Aisbitt| Junior Consultant| Iridium77 Consulting –
The course packed in a lot of information in the 3-day period and would not have been so easily digested without Rosie’s calm manner and ease in conveying difficult to understand wording/contexts and lines of code
Also taking the extra time to explain some of the nuances of Automation that were awkward to understand.

I rated Rosie 4 stars because she was friendly, helpful and informative, also because I felt she was making the most of a difficult situation in regard to the training materials and the set-up of the learning environment she had to work with.
Overall I was disappointed with the course materials and the way in which we were required to learn. I requested to attend this course at the cost of my employer because I had a genuine interest in learning more about Selenium and because I wanted to take that knowledge back to the business. From the course description, I was given the impression that I would be attending a class that allowed me to put the training into practice i.e. we would be provided an environment/Virtual Machine/Website to execute the code we compiled to see if we got it right. Instead, the course consisted of 8 delegates virtually sitting around one computer and taking it in turns to give what we thought was the correct answer. We were given a very brief list of applications used in the course, but due to the time constraints and lack of information on configuration it wasn’t possible to replicate an environment on my own computer in time.
The delegate slides were dated as 2018, and from the multiple errors found in the slides, it soon became apparent that the slides may not have been maintained since they were created, this was confusing and distracting to my learning process, and at times made me lose confidence in what was correct or incorrect.
Aside from only having one Mock exam paper to practice with, meaning I couldn’t run through an entire mock exam at the end of the course before taking the actual exam, the one we were provided contained an error. Again this knocked my confidence in the information I obtained form the course.
Overall, in it’s current state with errors and without an actual environment to get hands on training from, I would not recommend this training provider or course in future.

Course was excellent and learnt a lot – hopefully this will help me progress my carrer to bigger and better things.
Rosie was excellent – knew what she was talking about – extremely friendly and approachable (some trainers are moody)
it was a fun 3 days.

Really Informative, useful course that I already have plans for applying within my role. Rosie was very patient and helpful, felt that we could ask questions freely and were frequently provided with good knowledge and insight.

Dom Walter | Test Analyst |Self employed –
Rosie was very knowledgeable about the subject and very happy to answer delegatesĆ¢ā¬ā¢ queries.
My only criticism of the course was that I felt we could have been introduced to Selenium earlier. Although itĆ¢ā¬ā¢s vital to learn how to identify elements by XPath etc, it seemed that we could have approached this once weĆ¢ā¬ā¢d seen Selenium itself to provide more context.

“Angelina was brilliant. Made a very long detailed course enjoyable. I loved the interaction and the break up of the learning with challenging the knowledge of the group on what is being taught. The breakout rooms were great way of learning and it was nice to talk to people on the course.”
