Exploring free alternatives
One of the most promising aspects of online courses and guides is of course the ones that come at no cost. And make no mistake: some of them are great. However, when it comes to free online education it’s important to keep a realistic approach.
Are there high-quality free courses for QA testing? Of course, in fact, you can apply for free webinars right here at Test Pro, and many of the previous blogs and guides will also make important learning tools for your future career.
However, it’s also important to understand that anybody can now make a course online and advertise it as something great. So keep this in mind: Look for certified and verified companies to know just how much stock you can place on their claims.
Beyond that, it’s also important to truly understand the real advantages and disadvantages of free courses and guides
