▸ The system · loops not lectures

Three things that make this different.

Most online courses are passive. Bondar Academy is a working loop: write, submit, get reviewed, iterate. That loop is the curriculum.

Code review

You write code. Artem reads every line.

Every assignment is a real task on a real codebase. Submit a PR. Get line-by-line feedback. Iterate until your tests are production-grade.

You can use the .selected-specialties locator to open the dropdown instead of introducing a separate .dropdown-arrow locator. Since .selected-specialties is already used multiple times in this test, this keeps things consistent and reduces the number of different locators:

await page.locator('.selected-specialties').click();

The same applies to lines 27 and 44.

▸ Voices · from the program

From engineers who finished the program.

Artem is an excellent instructor and mentor. The lab work was the big seller for me, as it provided a way to practice what was just taught, directly. Indeed, this made a difference, but the true impact was through Artem's code reviews. By emphasizing best practices, I learned skills that go well beyond the scopes of QA and Playwright. This allowed me to create saner code at work and lead automation efforts.

When the Playwright class on Bondar Academy became available, it was an easy decision to enroll. I haven't regretted it for a second! In addition to the lectures, students get hands-on experience with real projects. I write code, create PRs for review, and let me tell you—this is no joke. I've learned so much! Artem meticulously reviews each PR and provides incredibly constructive feedback.

Coming in I had learned some Playwright on my own but wanted to solidify my knowledge and make sure I was following best practices. Artem is an awesome instructor, very easy to understand and knowledgeable about the subjects being taught. The utilization of submitting code assignments for review along with the Slack community for help really is something others don't offer and really assisted in solidifying the knowledge. 10/10 recommend this course!

What truly sets this course apart is Artem's approach to teaching. As an instructor and mentor, Artem is gifted with a rare intuition, flawlessly detecting when students need direct solutions or just a few 'breadcrumbs' of a hint to gently guide them toward finding answers on their own.

I appreciate the structured lessons and the assessments after each lesson, which help gauge understanding. Artem's explanations of Playwright are detailed and clear, making it easier to grasp the material. All that's left for us, students, is to practice to strengthen our skills.

My experience with Bondar Academy has been great. The amount of direct support is amazing and the course content is the best on the market today. Everything is easy to follow, learn from, and progress as an SDET. The best decision for continuing my education.

Artem Bondar
Test automation engineer · Teaching since 2020

I'm a test automation engineer and educator. Hands-on with Playwright, Cypress, and Claude Code daily, both in client work and in this academy's curriculum.

I built Bondar Academy because video courses don't review your code. The point of this place is the part of learning that videos can't replicate: real assignments, real PRs, real feedback.

Every PR you submit goes to me. I read every line, I leave the comments, and I follow up in Slack. If that's the kind of feedback loop you want, this is where you get it.

▸ Questions · we get these a lot

Frequently asked.

Are the lessons live or pre-recorded?+
Lectures are pre-recorded and carefully structured to ensure efficient learning. You can watch the lessons at your convenience and pace. If you have any questions, you can receive live support from instructors in Slack.
What's the difference between a program and a course?+
A program is a structured path of 3 to 5 courses that includes practice assignments, personal code review on your PRs, Slack support, and lifetime updates. A single course is video lessons only. Buy what you need, upgrade any time.
Do I need prior programming experience?+
No. All learning programs include a JavaScript for Testers course that covers all programming basics you need to know to start writing automated test scripts.
Are there any prerequisites for starting to learn?+
The learning programs are designed from the ground up, but it would be very helpful if you have an understanding of Software Quality Assurance and have experience as a manual QA.
How long does a program take?+
Most students finish in 6 to 10 weeks of part-time work. You're not on a clock. Lifetime access means you can pause, revisit, and re-submit assignments whenever life lets you.
How do I get support?+
Private Slack for everyone in a program. Median response time is around two hours. Artem reads every PR personally.
Is there a free preview?+
Yes. Sample lessons for each program are on the program page. There's also a free YouTube channel with several hours of content to help you decide.
What's the refund policy?+
14-day no-questions-asked refund. If the program isn't for you, email us and we'll send your money back.
Can I get an invoice for company reimbursement?+
Yes. Just email [email protected] with your company details (and your VAT number if it should appear on the invoice), and we'll send one over. Many students get this fully reimbursed as professional development.
What if I prefer GitHub Copilot or Cursor over Claude Code?+
The prompts and patterns we teach transfer across tools. We focus on Claude Code because its agent loops fit test workflows particularly well, but you'll learn principles, not just one CLI.
