*** Its my personal opinion about this training.
Yesterday I attended a training on "Test Architecture" by QAI @ Vikram Hotel, Lajpat Nagar, Delhi, INDIA.
There were 13 attendees from Microsoft (4), Adobe (4) and Aricent (3). Most of the attendees had 5+ experience and some of them had come from Hyderabad to attend this training. During the first half we were told that industry is not following some standards and their technique is going to do some magic to ensure that we test 100% :) . We were taught definitions like Validation, Verification, Test Cases using Boundary value analysis, Equivalence partitioning etc... We spent 1/4th of the time in all these things which are done in first year of our career in testing. In the second half most of the attendees were frustrated and asked for goal of this training. This was asked by many people in different ways as different times. Finally some of us decided to share the feedback with QAI and Adista Testing.
We were really looking forward to attending this training as it was supposed to be meant for people with 4-5 years of testing experience and because of our faith in the quality of trainings delivered by QAI in the past. However, this time, I hate to say, we are very disappointed.
The content of the training was much below the expertise level of an experience tester. In fact, it was suitable for a person with 0-1 years experience. A tester with 4-5 years of experience does not need to be taught how to write test cases. Moreover the quality of slides and the delivery of the training were amateurish. Not at all up to QAIs standard. I am afraid to say the training hasn't added anything to our skillset as Test Architecture.

I decided to not waste another day(7th August) there and have requested QAI to refund the Training Fees.
