Software Testing Trainer - Online

At Cokonet, we believe learning is not listening—learning is living the experience. We don't do boring 2-hour slide deck lectures or static theoretical teaching.

We are looking for a Software Testing Learning Coach who brings high energy, adaptability, and a practical mindset to the learning space. As a Coach, you won't just teach testing concepts—you will simulate real-world testing scenarios, mentor learners through practical QA projects, guide portfolio building, and help learners become job-ready software testing professionals.

Who You Are (Mindset \& Culture Fit)

• A Facilitator, Not a Lecturer: You prefer live demonstrations, hands-on testing, practical challenges, and interactive problem-solving over passive slide presentations.
• Obsessed with Growth \& Adaptability: You continuously explore new testing tools, automation frameworks, and AI-powered testing solutions.
• Empathetic \& Outcome-Driven: You care about learner transformation and helping students become industry and interview ready.
• High Energy \& Engaging: You can engage learners during classroom sessions, online training, bootcamps, workshops, and college hackathons.
• Open to Feedback \& Continuous Iteration: You continuously improve learning content based on industry trends, SME inputs, and learner outcomes.

Key Responsibilities1. Facilitate Experiential \& Hands-on Learning

• Lead implementation-focused sessions in Manual Testing, Automation Testing, API Testing, and Software Quality Assurance.
• Explain testing concepts through practical exercises, real-world applications, and simulated industry scenarios.
• Conduct online and offline training, including evening batches and flexible delivery schedules.
• Prepare lesson plans, testing exercises, assignments, assessments, test cases, and practical lab activities.

Coach, Mentor \& Build Job-Ready Talent

• Conduct 1-on-1 code reviews, test-case reviews, project evaluations, and skill-gap analysis.
• Guide learners in building industry-ready QA portfolios through manual testing, automation scripts, API testing, and database testing projects.
• Mentor learners on test documentation, defect reporting, GitHub, resume building, and interview preparation.
• Conduct mock technical interviews and provide actionable feedback on technical, communication, and problem-solving skills.

Continuous Curriculum \& Testing Innovation

• Continuously update learning tracks, testing scenarios, automation frameworks, and practical projects based on industry requirements.
• Regularly connect with Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to understand changing industry expectations.
• Introduce modern testing tools, AI-assisted testing solutions, and automation practices into the learning workflow.
• Continuously upskill and bring emerging QA technologies and best practices into the classroom.

Ecosystem \& Industry Engagement

• Represent Cokonet at college campuses through workshops, bootcamps, hackathons, seminars, webinars, and guest sessions.
• Support internship-oriented activities and industry-focused software testing projects.
• Collaborate with Academics, Operations, and Placement teams to support learner progress and hiring outcomes.
