All MITA courses are developed by professionals who have done the job — or are still doing it. That means the content reflects real-world testing, written in a way that makes sense to working testers, not academic theory.

You can complete the training digitally at your own pace, taking as much or as little time as you need, or choose to attend in a classroom environment with a MITA-approved regional training provider.
