API Testing Mastery Program
Build production-ready skills through hands-on projects and real-world integration challenges
Our comprehensive program goes beyond theory. You'll work with actual APIs, debug real integration failures, and build the troubleshooting instincts that separate junior testers from seasoned professionals. Each cohort is limited to 18 participants, ensuring personalized attention and meaningful peer collaboration.
Collaborative Learning Environment
Learning happens best when you're not doing it alone. Our program centers around small cohort groups where you'll tackle complex API challenges together, share debugging discoveries, and build the professional network that will support your career long after graduation.
You'll participate in weekly code review sessions, pair programming exercises, and group troubleshooting workshops. By the end of the program, you'll have worked closely with 17 other aspiring API testing professionals, each bringing their unique perspective and problem-solving approach.
Many of our graduates still collaborate on projects years later. The relationships you build here often prove just as valuable as the technical skills you develop.
Live Project Work
Every assignment uses real APIs from companies who've agreed to let students test their systems. You'll encounter actual rate limiting, authentication quirks, and documentation gaps that mirror professional challenges.
Industry Mentorship
Each student is paired with a working API testing professional who provides monthly guidance, portfolio review, and career development advice throughout the 8-month program.
Meet Your Instructors
Dermot Kowalski
Lead Integration Specialist
Dermot spent eight years at Taiwan's largest fintech company, where he built the testing frameworks that handle over 2 million API calls daily. His debugging workshops are legendary among former students, who often say his systematic approach completely changed how they think about API failures.
Saskia Blumenthal
API Architecture Consultant
Before joining our program, Saskia led API testing for three major e-commerce platforms across Southeast Asia. She has this amazing ability to explain complex integration patterns in ways that just click. Students love her real-world examples from actual production incidents.
Henrik Castellanos
DevOps Integration Expert
Henrik bridges the gap between testing and deployment. His background includes API testing for cloud infrastructure companies, and he brings a unique perspective on how integration tests fit into modern CI/CD pipelines. His automation modules consistently receive the highest student ratings.
Program Timeline
Our next cohort begins in September 2025, with applications opening this summer. Here's how the program unfolds over eight intensive months.
Foundation Phase
Master the fundamentals of REST APIs, HTTP methods, and basic authentication. You'll work with well-documented APIs to build confidence before tackling more challenging integrations. Expect about 12 hours of work per week, including live sessions and self-paced practice.
Real-World Challenges
Now the gloves come off. You'll debug actual production issues, work with APIs that have incomplete documentation, and learn to handle the authentication nightmares that make experienced developers curse. This is where you develop real problem-solving skills.
Automation & Scale
Build test suites that can handle thousands of API calls, implement proper monitoring, and create the kind of robust automation that actually prevents production disasters. You'll also start working on your capstone project during this phase.
Capstone & Career Prep
Present your final project to a panel of industry professionals, polish your portfolio, and participate in mock interviews. We'll also help you identify companies that align with your career goals and prepare applications that highlight your newly developed expertise.
