Dedicated to producing skilled quality assurance professionals who make software better.
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.
Our values shape every decision we make, from curriculum design to student support.
We measure success by what students can do, not just what they know. Every lesson connects to real workplace scenarios.
Our curriculum evolves with the testing landscape. We teach tools and methodologies that employers actually use today.
Your career goals become our goals. We provide ongoing support including CV reviews, interview coaching, and job market guidance.
We reject passive learning. Our classrooms are active environments where students write test cases, execute tests, log defects, and present findings throughout each session.
Completing a course is just the beginning. Our career services team works with graduates for up to six months after course completion.
