TestWorks Training Daily Schedule and Curriculum

The complete 5-day (1-week) curriculum on eValid & TestWorks for Windows and UNIX is designed so that individual days can be taken in any combination. Each 1-day course is completely self-contained and provides complete coverage of their respective areas:

Most organizations achieve the best results by combining two or three days training in the major TestWorks curriculum topics. The day to day sequences work together extremely well to provide in depth training on different parts of the TestWorks product suite.
