Did you know that 97% of people that start an online course do not finish it? The reasons are numerous but some of the most cited reasons are to do with Motivation, Time and Support.

We know testing is changing and whats expected of us is evolving too, no longer is it expected that there will be an automation team and a test team. We should be able to do both!

So we have come up with an idea, a concept and if it works we will look to expand it but for now were going to PoC out this with a small group and see what comes of it.

Were going to start a group to learn coding/automation, were going to give you motivation, support (both mentally and practically) and an achievable Goal.

What do we ask of you?

Well the biggest is that you can commit to an initial 6 weeks to get started, we hope that's enough of a seed to allow you to gain some momentum, confidence and perk your curiosity about where this could take you.

What else will you need?

You will need a laptop
You will need to be able to learn and try something else
You will need to be able to support your other study buddies...

What we will provide
A place to study
A coach, someone who will support you when you get stuck
(With thanks to Ali, Boris and Feng who have volunteered)
A slack channel where you can collaborate with the other attendees
A safe place to make mistakes, where people will support you

The initial group will be limited to 6 students, however for the goal setting the meetup will be open to 10.

If you do not turn up your place maybe forfeited for future events.

What will you get out of this?
A skill that can take you places you want to go, or just another tool in that kit you use daily.
