Our Story

Founded in Manchester in 2019, gentle-cliff emerged from a simple observation: too many training programmes taught testing theory without adequate practical application. Our founders, veterans of the software industry with over 40 combined years of experience, set out to create something different.

We established our training centre with a clear mission: produce job-ready QA professionals through immersive, hands-on learning. Every course we offer reflects this commitment. Students work with real applications, actual bug tracking systems, and professional development tools from their very first session.

Since opening our doors, we've trained over 800 students, many of whom have secured positions at leading technology companies across the United Kingdom. Our graduates work at startups, enterprises, consultancies, and everything in between.
