Don’t just take my word for it, check out what existing students have to say about my other courses:

“The C# section is taught by someone else, which surprised me, but I think they did a great job at instructing at a beginner level. The Selenium materials are quite comprehensive and the instructor is easy to follow and understand.

“Well I can’t explain in words how much am excited after completing this course. The more I was close to completion the more am getting excited. You are a great instructor Nikolay. You don’t just taught Selenium but other aspects of being a beautiful coder. Now am pretty confident and can say “Yes” to my clients when they need me to automate the application. Thank you Sir for all the hard work and effort you put in the course. Surely would like to see you in another engaging course!” – Randhawa Verma
