The productivity of software engineers is not linear to their skills' level. As the competence level approaches mastery, the productivity becomes exponential. With Alcor Academy we found a structured way to improve the competence level of all our engineering teams.

As a Quality Engineer, the course has helped me to know when my input would be valuable (before/during/after) pairing/mobbing.
Before I went to the course I was skeptical of TDD. Now I realize that TDD simplify problem-solving and assists you in writing clean(er) code, easier to test.
I really enjoyed the course because now I can instantly see opportunities to improve in my daily work!
Obviously knowledgeable and enthusiastic trainers - it's very nice to see experts who can also communicate their experience!
I loved this course because it remembered to me that my job is the most beautiful (and difficult) in the World!
I like the way we learn new knowledge from practice. And I am passionate to try it out immediately after the class!
I wish all software developers on this planet could attend a world class software engineering course like this!
As a Senior Engineer I recapped, relearnt and learned a lot of stuff. Looking forward to applying what I've learned!
It would normally take years for a dev to learn the many important lessons taught in this course.
This training is way more than just applying clean code. I really had a lot of fun while learning so much!
Excellent hands-on introduction to advanced software engineering principles and techniques. The stage is always set for trainees to experience insightful 'AHA!' moments during the lessons. Brilliant!
The course has a good theory - practice balance. It's so much more memorable when you learn by doing it! Furthermore within the mob you can see how others approach problems and solutions evolve collaboratively.
I learned many new things and I also learned how to better employ what I already knew.
The course is very interactive and all participants are included in the learnings and discovery.
Simply, the best training I've ever had!
A fun, hands-on experience where you learn a lot!
This course has been a big eye-opener for me!
Before this course I thought I was a decent programmer! :-)
Brilliant TDD lessons with real experts on the topic. And we had great fun doing mob programming!
Thank you for a great hands-on course on TDD and code craftsmanship!
Overall, I found the course really interesting and lots of fun!
Fail it - Nail it - Work it. Thank you for such a great experience!
This course made me more confident of my own competence and skills, and understand the weaknesses I need to work with.
One of the best training I ever participated, because it was very interactive and I had to do presentations!
I have learnt more in this training programme alone than in all the previous certifications I've done - altogether!
I've never thought that things can become so much easier with the right technique. Such a great experience!
The collaborative format enabled all of us to be engaged and get hands on!
The best training I ever had - challenging, emotional and essential!
Mob programming for teaching is absolutely awesome and innovative!
Great introduction to TDD. The interactive part makes you learn at lot better than just reading a book.
Flying is addictive!!!
Great stuff, in a real distilled form!
It was a very interesting, instructive and entertaining course. I learned a lot and now I even hate presentations a bit less!
I liked the focus on practice for learning, it gave me a good practical starting point for test driven development.
I really liked the exercises of this course and the new experience of programming together!
I did not get bored once, and I now have actual skills and knowledge I can apply daily in my work!
Such a fun and interactive way to learn TDD!
You will learn to level up your code quality!
One of the best trainings I've ever had!
This was a fun and intensive learning journey!
What I will take with me forever: it's all about mindset and communication!
Each lesson inspired me to reflect, investigate more and adapt my coding to it!
Very skilled, experienced and enjoyable guys to be lectured by. Highly recommended!
The course has introduced an entirely new dimension to my workflow and I want to learn more!
This training expanded my horizon and helped me to look beyond the accustomed working habits.
After this course you will have the urge to achieve more as an individual, and as a team as well!
The mix between theory and practice helped me enormously in learning and grasping the knowledge.
This course is a real eye opener! Not only about test-driving your code, but also for writing well designed software.
Relaxed, focused, productive, fun! That's how every course should be.
This is not a soft "listen and take notes" course but a learn-by-doing marathon.
Alcor Academy brought a new insight on how to use Test Driven Development efficiently.
This is not a classic course. This is a hands-on experience that will advance everybody. It teaches global concepts, ideas and mental models. Highly recommended!
