Software plays a fundamental role in our lives today, whether it's business applications, banking or just ordering goods online. But what if an application doesn't work as expected? This is where software testing comes into play: the tester is the one who discovers errors and ensures that the end user gets the best user experience. Testing itself is a very complex process, including designing and running tests, writing scripts, reporting results and progress, and evaluating the quality of the object being tested.
According to ResearchAndMarkets.com, the size of the software testing market is expected to more than double in just five years (from $24.7 trillion to $52.7 trillion between 2022 and 2027). The use of artificial intelligence (AI), cloud-based solutions, machine learning (ML), and robotic process automation (RPA) is further strengthening the need for skilled automation testers. The combination of high demand and specific knowledge makes tester salaries competitive.

Career opportunities after training
Junior automation tester
Your main task is to write, develop and maintain automated tests. You often work closely with developers to test code changes immediately. You need detailed knowledge of automated testing tools and languages, such as Selenium or Python. If you want to work in a dynamic, developer-centric environment, automated testing could be the ideal career path for you.
Junior QA Engineer
This position includes both automated and manual testing. As a QA (quality assurance) engineer, you will be responsible for quality assurance processes, documentation, and communication in addition to testing. If it is important to you to work with as many different teams as possible and you would like to be involved in the product design phase in addition to testing processes, a QA engineer position may be beneficial.
Testing Assistant
This is a great entry point into the IT world if you feel unsure about your technical or programming skills. If you love to pay attention to detail, can easily spot errors, and are not afraid to act as the "devil's advocate" in communicating and documenting these issues between different teams, then this position may be worth pursuing.
More details
Our VAT-free training requires that you have at least a high school diploma , and before starting our Automated Testing training, you must also complete our free, 20-hour manual testing mini-course, but beyond that, you do not need any special qualifications to start your journey in software testing. If you work as a manual tester or have participated in such training, you can take the end-of-course test without the 20 hours.
Although it is not a requirement, it is good to know: since programming itself is based on English, and many employers in this field expect you to have a certain level of English proficiency, it would not hurt if you also put some emphasis on refreshing your language skills in addition to the course, thus increasing your chances of finding a job in the future.
To join our training, you must complete a 3-part admission process that takes place over a few days.
1. Application
If you have decided that you want to start a career in IT, submit your application on our website! It's all in a few clicks. :)
2. Online game task
A few hours after submitting your application, you will receive a link to a test task that assesses your cognitive skills in a game format. We recommend that you try to complete this on a computer and not on your phone. The test will take a maximum of 30 minutes.
3. Online questionnaire
In the same email you will find another link that points to a questionnaire that can be completed in 10-15 minutes. With the help of the questionnaire, we would like to get to know you a little better, your motivation, and your individual preferences.
We will ask questions where you can always choose between two options, depending on which answer you agree with more. After the tests, we will notify you by email about the admission decision within a few days. If you are among the best, we will take care of the paperwork and look forward to welcoming you on the first day of training. Good luck!
Students enrolled in our Junior Programming courses can apply for a Training Loan from the Student Loan Center if they are 18-55 years old, can prove their secondary education with a Hungarian-language certificate (or have a certified translation/naturalization of a foreign high school diploma/diploma), have a registered address, have no public debt, have no criminal record and have had a social security legal relationship for 12 months prior to applying for the loan, or have been in a continuous student, adult education or higher education student relationship for 12 months.
The interest-free Training Loan covers the cost of self-funded training courses, and a maximum of HUF 500,000 can be applied for in adult training. It is important that when applying for a Training Loan, you must pay at least 20% of the training fee as your own funds, regardless of the financing package you choose. The requested amount will be transferred to the educational institution. The Training Loan will be available in this form after December 20, 2021.
If you choose our installment payment per module package, you cannot finance the first module directly from the Training Loan, as in this case the tuition fee is paid approximately 2 weeks before each module starts, while the Training Loan can unfortunately only be applied for on the first day of the course at the earliest. However, you can use the interest-free Training Loan to finance the other modules.
In practice, this means that you only have to pay HUF 490,000 of the tuition fee in advance and you can repay the remaining HUF 500,000 within 10 years after the training.
The training takes place in a mentor-based educational format. In practice, this means that a small part of the time spent on the training is just a classic lecture (so-called material review), the rest is individual and group work led by mentors.
In most of our online courses, material review takes place on Zoom. For the rest of the time, our students are divided into smaller study groups and communicate with each other and our mentors via Discord at pre-arranged times.
The schedule of our training is extremely flexible, so that you can fit it into your schedule around your existing job or even your child, and so that everyone can find the most ideal time to study. The joint review of the material held by the mentors takes place on Mondays and Thursdays between 9:00 and 12:00. This schedule applies to all curriculum units of the training. On these occasions, personal online presence is important, but if for some reason you are unable to join, you can watch the mentored lessons later.
In addition to this time, we also offer personalized mentoring sessions, where mentors meet with smaller groups to help you process the curriculum based on your questions. The mentoring sessions are as follows:
- Monday: 18:00 - 20:00
- Tuesday: 09:00 - 11:00
- Wednesday: 13:00 - 15:00
- Thursday: 18:00 - 20:00
- Friday: 09:00 - 11:00
It is important to us that each of our students finds the schedule that works best for them, so we ask you to share your personal preferences with us before the course begins.
Yes. During the entire duration of the Training, students will demonstrate their knowledge in 3 partial exams after the first three training stages, and in a final exam at the end of the training. All exams are conducted online and consist of tests and/or practical tasks.
Green Fox Academy, as an adult training provider registered under the Adult Education Act and holding an adult training license (E/2020/000006), provides a certificate issued in the Adult Education Data Service System, confirming the requirements of the professional training, to participants who successfully complete the training (successfully pass the final exam). The certificate entitles you to take a qualifying exam at an independent examination center and obtain a state-recognized professional qualification. Our training provides stable knowledge for passing the exam.
During the training, you will have access to our pre-recorded soft skills training sessions and our comprehensive Career Hub, which will help you prepare for your job search.
