Questions, answered
Is Pcloudy Academy free?
Yes. Every course and certification on Pcloudy Academy is free to take. You only need a Pcloudy account to access the hands-on device labs.
Do I need prior automation experience?
No. The manual app testing track assumes no automation background. The Appium track starts from basics before moving into advanced patterns.
How long does a course take?
Between two and six hours of video plus labs. Everything is self-paced, so you can spread it across days or finish in one sitting.
Do I get access to real devices during the course?
Yes. Labs run on the Pcloudy real device cloud, so you practise on genuine iOS and Android hardware rather than emulators.
Is the certificate verifiable?
Each certificate carries a unique verification ID and can be shared directly to LinkedIn or linked from your CV.
Can I enrol my whole team?
Absolutely. Talk to us about team enrolment and we'll set up centralised progress tracking for your QA organisation.
