SeU - Certified Selenium Engineer (CSE)
cooperation with Boris Wrubel - 3 days
Selenium has become one of the most popular testing tools for automating software testing. If you want to know how to best use Selenium and also want to try it out right away, then this training is for you.
what is selenium and what can you learn in the training?
Selenium is a suite of different tools meant for browser automation, including Selenium WebDriver and Selenium Grid. Although not limited to be used for testing web applications, it has become the most sought-after tool by software testers. With support for all of the widely used browsers, it has also grown beyond just being another software testing library. It is the backbone of countless browser automation tools, APIs and frameworks. The WebDriver interface introduced by Selenium WebDriver is under review for becoming a W3C standard, which would further increase its importance in the space of test automation.
About the course
SeU - Certified Selenium Engineer (CSE) is a practitioner level course for testers involved in web test automation. The course covers Selenium as a browser automation library from the ground up and includes coverage of advanced concepts such as page object design, custom implementation of listeners etc. Test automation constructs and design are kept to a minimum to better focus on code constructs that enable usage of Selenium in a properly designed manner. This course, together with future test automation design-focused courses from Selenium United, provides testing practitioners everything that is required to become successful test automation engineers in the web test automation space.
SeU - Certified Selenium Engineer (CSE) offers its participants the un-diluted Selenium experience. Other similar courses tend to cover non-Selenium topics such as TestNG, Reporting, CI, Cucumber etc, which tends to bulk up the course, but alter the focus on key features of Selenium that are crucial in practice. This is why SeU - Certified Selenium Engineer (CSE) allows the participants to focus more on the critical Selenium concepts, so they better understand how to implement Selenium into their daily work.
Another important differentiator is that Selenium United believes in the importance of practical training, which is why over 70% of the course consists of hands-on exercises, which allows participants to also gain experience and implement as they learn.
SeU - Certified Selenium Engineer (CSE) is a hands-on course that deals with the Selenium concepts in a very practical way (30% theory, 70% practical)
This course is a comprehensive certification aimed at anyone involved in developing and implementing automated web app automation using Selenium
This course also provides full coverage of web test automation using Selenium, including all relevant techniques and terminology from the most basic to the most advanced concepts
SeU - Certified Selenium Engineer (CSE) is a 3-day course, followed by a 60-minute certification exam at the end of the last day.

small learning groups
As a training participant, you of course benefit from learning in a group and the experience of the other participants. Yet to ensure that you get to pose all of your own questions, we keep the group sizes very small, with a maximum of 10 participants. This allows our coaches to make certain that we meet the needs of all participants, even if the participants’ levels of existing knowledge differ.
date guarantee
Our courses are guaranteed to take place from as few as four participants, and provide you with long-term planning certainty for your training activities.
experienced trainers
In addition to their teaching work, all of our trainers have been and continue to be involved in projects, with each of them possessing more than 15 years of professional experience in various sectors. They have also all additionally acquired teaching qualifications. It is important to us not just to teach the training material, but also to enable each participant to enact what they have learned in the workplace. The point is for it to not feel superimposed, but instead for the acquired knowledge to be incorporated effortlessly into your own work.
early-booking and group discounts
You already know your training needs for the next year and would like to come to our trainings with several people? Then let us know! It helps us to be able to plan ahead, and we are therefore happy to offer you a discount.
