Testpoint's 2026 Internship Testing Program combines practical training with real work experience on live commercial projects — guided by senior testing consultants. Developed in-house over five years. Run remotely.
A classroom can't replicate a real project. The Internship Testing Program is designed for people who need genuine commercial experience to move forward in their career.
You've done the theory. Now you need commercial experience on a CV — the kind employers actually recognise.
Six months out, or longer? Rebuild confidence, refresh current tooling, and re-enter the workforce with a recent, relevant reference.
Crossing over from accounting, medicine, teaching, or elsewhere? Past interns have done exactly this — with strong support from the team.
Modules first. Practical submissions reviewed by a Testpoint mentor. Then you shadow a consultant on a live commercial project. No exams — video and audio responses, continuous feedback, real supervision.
Foundational modules covering manual testing craft, test design, stakeholder communication, and business and user acceptance testing. Submissions reviewed by your mentor with feedback within one business day.
Optional, no extra charge. Hands-on introduction to automation fundamentals and Selenium. Builds on Level 1; recommended for anyone heading toward automation or SDET roles.
Join a Testpoint team with real software developers, testers, and project managers. Observe how work is actually run, practise what you've learned, and build the communication skills employers hire for.
On successful completion you receive a certificate, permission to list "Internship — Software Testing at Testpoint" on LinkedIn, and your mentor can be listed as a reference on future job applications.
Every intern who completes the program is guaranteed hands-on experience on a live commercial project. Not a simulation, not a sandbox — verifiable work you can speak to in interviews and showcase on your CV.
Every intern is mentored by senior Testpoint consultants — and the program is led by Testpoint's co-founders themselves. Two decades of testing leadership, available to you throughout the program.
