When i started the Opquast training I was already familiar with the opquast rules. I opened the web quality book thinking that I probably knew what was it. I was pretty wrong and I learned a lot. Every rule is very well thought, there's a label and explanation of the root causes, objectives are clear and additional notes are provided to explain how to validate against them. My favorite part are the anecdotes based on real use cases. They often echo a situation I have experienced in my career. The book and the training platform work great together covering a wide variety of subjects without going to dip into implementation specifics. It means that every tip applied to any tech stack you can encounter in your personal life and any position you may hold in the company. I've known and used the Opquast toolset for years and it always equaled my professional ethics. I feel that it's relevant for any profiles that cares about user experience at any level of the web production chain. But beware, even if the technical requirements are pretty low meaning that you can start training at any level of expertise the certification itself is demanding and the exam is relatively difficult. So my second piece of advice for people beginners wanting to take the certification, set aside sometimes to read and really train with a clear head and take lots of notes. The material is dense and it really deserves your attention.
We’d love a short video testimonial about your experience

The course itself is well structured and easy to follow, you aren’t required to have previous knowledge of the topics to understand all the valuable information you are learning about. And, the multiple-choice quizzes and mock exams are a great way to reenforce your learning of each module as you go. I am recommending this training to my technology, business development, and strategic teams because I believe the web quality assurance standards need to be embedded in our foundational approach.
We decided to deploy the OPQUAST platform within our CESI training courses (Developer, Web Designer, Project Manager in Digital Marketing). We believe that this kind of certification can bring a lot of value to a profile, but above all, it allows us to better organize ourselves in the project life cycle, while placing the user at the center.
It was really a great experience. We came out sharp, ready to polish new quality sites, new applications and digital campaigns. We all learned a lot. We spent a month discussing the quality a lot: suddenly, in addition to the emulation between the different members of the team, I really feel that we have shared something, and that we have made progress all together.
Over the years, programming has been democratised, which is good, right? It’s much easier to build things now. But how about building the legal thing, the honest thing, the not-confusing thing, or the accessible thing? I wonder how much of my day is spent wrestling with ill-thought-through IT systems that don’t care enough about the end-user? Opquasts’certification for web quality is all about de-risking the user experience. Knowing about and following best-practices and standards is everyone’s job in product development, from marketing to technical and support to community managers.
When I changed careers, I wanted to bring meaning to my new assignments. Because I felt the need to consider the end user first, I took the Opquast training and then the certification. Thanks to what I learned, I succeeded in my interviews and convinced those who became my team. Opquast gave me the keys to understand quality, but also to find missions that make sense.
The training gives us a cross-perspective on the different professions of the web. We touch everything. Despite a non-technical profile, I gained a better understanding of web aspects that are not part of my core business skills, for example, developer tasks, such as minifying scripts, which can speed up page loading. All this contributes to a more efficient web and, therefore, a more responsible web. It’s crucial for a project manager to have all these parameters in mind.
It is necessary to master the best practices of the Web, as defined in particular by Opquast, the Web being one of the least regulated sectors. In itself, when you make the Web, you can still do what you want… But that doesn’t mean you have to! Hence the importance of having these rules, this common lexical field, which will enable agencies, companies, technical service providers, etc. to work together in the right direction
