STAY RELEVANT AND Get paid more

You become the professional who knows how to architect modern testing workflows

The QA market just split in two.

Where QA was

$60k-$90k

  • You write test cases by hand
  • You fight flaky tests
  • Your salary caps near $80k
  • Manual-only roles are compressing (76.8% of teams already use AI)
Where QA is going

$120k+ - $180k+

  • AI writes the repetitive tests, you direct it
  • You build automation leadership trusts
  • You earn $160k+
  • Teams are hiring and can't find people.

The hard part isn't the change - it's knowing where to start and who to trust

The Skills That Mean Higher Pay And Job Security

Modern testing isn't manual clicking anymore.

Web · Playwright

The framework replacing Selenium

Playwright is what modern web teams are moving to is faster, more reliable, and the automation skill showing up in the best-paid QA job posts.

76.8% of testing teams already use AI

Mobile · XCUITest · Maestro

The skill almost no one teaches

Automate real iOS and Android apps end to end. Mobile automation is scarce, hard to hire for, and pays a premium because of it.

Automation testing: $28B → $55B by 2028

AI · Copilot · Cursor · Claude

The leverage that makes you fast

Write, refactor, and stabilize tests in a fraction of the time, the difference between keeping up and being the one the team relies on.

Playwright roles: ~$116k avg, $169k+ at the top*

Who is this program for?

QA beginners who want to transition into automation

The anxious manual QA - strong at test design and little real automation

Automation QAs who want a salary increase and stronger career positioning

“I know how to test APIs and UIs… but AI apps feel different.”

This path bridges that gap.

Differentiators

This is who you become: the AI-era QA your team can't lose.

I recently completed the “Mastering Web Automation with AI” Playwright course, and it has been a transformative experience. One of the standout features of this course is its hands-on approach. You'll dive deep into automation techniques, learning practical skills that you can immediately apply to your projects.

Absolutely outstanding course! I'm beyond impressed. The content was not only incredibly well-structured and informative, but also engaging from start to finish. Every lesson felt purposeful, and the instructor did an exceptional job of explaining complex topics in a way that was easy to grasp. I came in with limited knowledge

Good and straight to the point course! Gives all the important information to get started with XCUITest and doesn't overwhelm with too much theory. Techniques provided here are more advanced than other courses on XCUITest.

  1. Lorem Ipsumis simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
  2. Why do we use it?
  3. It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

Subject:Quick training request — AI test automation

Hi [manager],

I'd like to take Engenious University's AI Career Booster — a self-paced program on modern web and mobile test automation with AI tools (Playwright, XCUITest, Maestro, Copilot).

It's $299 for 6 months and I can do it at ~30 min/day without affecting delivery. It'll help me [cut flaky tests / speed up regression / bring AI-assisted testing to the team].

Could this come from our training budget?

Thanks, [you]

The Career Booster Path made online learning much less stressful for me. Since the courses were recorded, I never worried about missing sessions or falling behind. I tested most of the platform directly from my phone and everything worked smoothly. The combination of short lessons and practical examples kept me motivated to continue.

I was looking for a career-focused program that didn’t require attending live sessions, and this one matched exactly what I needed. The videos loaded quickly on mobile and the lessons were broken into manageable parts. I enjoyed being able to pause, replay, and take notes at my own pace. The whole experience felt smooth and beginner friendly.

The recorded format worked perfectly for my schedule because I could learn during commutes and late evenings from my phone. Every lesson felt practical and easy to follow, even on a smaller mobile screen. I appreciated that the platform remembered my progress automatically. This path helped me finally stay consistent with learning.

I started the Career Booster Path because I wanted to improve my frontend skills without attending live classes every week. The recorded lessons were super convenient since I could study after work and rewatch difficult topics multiple times. I especially liked how clear and structured the explanations were on mobile. After finishing several modules, I already feel much more confident during interviews.
