Big Data & ETL Testing

An eight-week intensive that compresses a year of industry experience into a single, rigorous cohort.

Designed for aspiring data quality engineers, this program covers the full ETL testing lifecycle — from source-to-target validation, to data reconciliation, to performance testing of Hadoop and cloud data pipelines. Graduates leave with a professional portfolio of test plans, automation scripts, and case studies, prepared to walk into entry- and mid-level QA roles.
