Why Choose This Course
Selenium is widely used for browser‑based automation, and this instructor‑led course prepares you to design, implement and maintain web test automation using Selenium 4 WebDriver, aligned to the current A4Q Certified Selenium 4 Tester Foundation syllabus. The certification targets practical application with Python and Java as reference languages, connecting core test automation concepts to hands‑on WebDriver skills such as reliable element location, synchronisation, reporting and maintainable framework patterns.
Across Australia’s technology teams, demand continues for professionals who can build robust, scalable web test suites that integrate with modern delivery practices. The A4Q Selenium 4 curriculum covers the WebDriver ecosystem, Selenium IDE and Grid, underlying web technologies (HTML, DOM, CSS, XPath), headless execution and parallelism, plus organisational topics like metrics, ROI and adoption—so learners gain both technical capability and context to apply automation effectively.
Training is available for professionals in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth through virtual and in‑class modalities, reflecting how modern teams work across locations. The course focuses on practical value—building reliable locators, strengthening synchronisation, and structuring suites for change—so participants can apply skills in real projects without promises of guaranteed outcomes. A certificate of course attendance is included.
