Our apprentices have journeyed through the world of Automation Testing, exploring the foundations of modern quality engineering - from core testing principles and automation concepts, to API and frontend testing; using industry-relevant tools and practices.

They gained hands-on experience with Postman for endpoint testing and Cypress for frontend automation. They also learnt how to build scalable, maintainable test frameworks by covering concepts such as the DOM, solid principles and the Page Object Model. Additionally, they examined how AI is beginning to shape the future of automation testing.

By combining technical knowledge with practical implementation, they are building the skills needed to deliver reliable, efficient, and quality-driven software solutions.

Our apprentices have completed their Coding Bootcamp, with a focus on building code that is clean, testable and maintainable, not just code that works.

Grounded in SOLID principles, they learned how to structure code so that responsibilities are clear, components are loosely coupled, and systems are easier to extend and maintain over time.

A big part of the bootcamp was learning to think about iterative problem solving. By working with unit testing and Test-Driven Development, they practiced writing focused tests that validate real logic, step by step, and give confidence that changes won’t break existing functionality.

They also learned how to isolate dependencies using stubs and mocks, making it possible to test components properly without relying on external systems or dependencies.

Coupled with working through coding katas, they developed a more deliberate approach to problem-solving and code design.

It’s a strong step towards writing code that holds up in real-world systems, not just in theory but in practice.

If you’re looking to strengthen how your team builds software, get in touch to see how we can help. We also offer training to support developers in building these skills.

Our apprentices have just leveled up their testing game!

Our Test Core Bootcamp made them work through real testing scenarios, applying black-box techniques to design structured test cases and test plans using industry tools like TestRail (for test management) and JMeter (for performance testing). They executed tests, logged and prioritised defects, and gained practical experience across the full Software Testing Life Cycle, while also exploring how AI can support test case design evaluating its impact on coverage and efficiency.

This experience equips them with a solid, practical foundation to approach software with a quality-first mindset and contribute to building production-ready systems.

Looking to embed quality into your software from the ground up? Get in touch with us to see how our testing services can support your team. We also offer tailored training to help upskill testers and elevate your quality practices.

Our apprentices tackled a real-world business challenge - from eliciting requirements by carrying out "client" interviews to analysing systems with story maps and process flows.
They translated requirements into user stories and designed a mobile app using Figma & Figma Make.
The result? A practical, end-to-end experience in turning business problems into clear, actionable designs.

Our Pivot26 Apprentices recently completed the Professional skills and Project Management Bootcamps as part of our KCP Apprenticeship Program.
While the Professional Skills bootcamp focused on building communication, presentation skills and workplace readiness, the Project management bootcamp aimed to help the apprentices learn how to plan, collaborate and deliver projects with impact.
Thank you to the bootcamp coaches for their time, expertise and dedication in supporting our apprentices!
