UAT Courses
We specialise in providing skills training in user acceptance testing for non-IT specialists. People just like your team. This is where we are different with our course on User Acceptance Testing.
The course is built around practical hands on exercises to enable skills to be built up ready for transfer into the work place. It works through a consistent case study, details of which, along with full notes, are given to each student.
Courses are delivered in-house on your premises, giving you the flexibility to plan them when your want, for your whole team. With the additional advantages of discussion about your project, and savings on attendees travelling and subsistence.

Available from this site is a customised UAT Plan Template which uses the standard and makes it specific for UAT.
