About Pinta Education

Learn from someone who has helped shape software testing education

• At Pinta Education, I believe that great training goes beyond the immediate exam. Passing is paramount, I have been there, so I get it. For me, it is also about giving you the understanding and confidence to apply the learning in the workplace.
• Every course is personally delivered by me, an internationally recognised software testing trainer.  I have over two decades of ISTQB teaching experience. This was built on a career spanning testing in the defence and commercial sectors, with the constant backdrop of assisting HR with in house learning and development.
• When you book with Pinta Education you know exactly who will be teaching you. There are no substitute trainers, no outsourced instructors and no scripted delivery - just expert tuition from someone who has spent years helping thousands of delegates to succeed.

Why choose Pinta Education?

• Expert-led from start to finish

  Your course was written and will be delivered entirely by Angelina Samaroo, a trainer with extensive real-world testing experience and a reputation for making complex topics easy to understand.

• Industry-recognised expertise

  Angelina Samaroo is:

  • A co-author of the BCS book accompanying the ISTQB CTFL V4.0 syllabus
  • A Chartered Engineer and Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (FIET)
  • An experienced software tester who spent ten years testing mission-critical fighter aircraft software
  • An international trainer who has delivered software testing courses to delegates around the world

• Fully accredited training

  Pinta Education is an accredited training provider, with courses independently reviewed to ensure that they meet the highest standards. My ISTQB CTFL V4.0 materials were accredited on the first submission with no changes required, reflecting the quality and maturity of my knowledge and understanding, and ability to share both in the classroom.

• A course built around understanding - not just memorisation

  The ISTQB Foundation syllabus is extensive, but simply reading slides is not enough.

  Every topic is explained using practical examples, discussion and your real-world experience so that you understand the concepts, not just the terminology.

  Throughout the course you'll benefit from:

  • Interactive teaching rather than slide reading
  • Plenty of encouragement to ask questions that matter to you
  • Practice exam questions explained in detail
  • Revision techniques that build confidence before exam day.

• Support beyond the classroom

  Learning doesn't stop when the course finishes.

  I make myself available to answer questions before your exam, including ad-hoc technical Zoom sessions, to help with administrative queries and make sure that you feel fully prepared when exam day arrives.

• My commitment

  I have deliberately kept things simple.

  One trainer.

  One specialist course.

  One goal.

  To provide what I believe is one of the highest quality ISTQB Foundation learning experiences available online.

  If you're looking for expert tuition, personal support and a course designed to help you both pass the exam and consider the learning in your world, then I would love to welcome you to Pinta Education.

• What I do after your course

• I stay in contact until exam day to assist with any technical or admin issues
• I study your feedback and the exam results to be sure that they reflect my expectations
• I contact you promptly should there be any issues that need to be dealt with
• I remove your data from the database unless you ask me to keep in touch
