FAQ

Questions People Often Ask Me

Straight answers to the questions I hear most on fit calls. If yours isn't here, just ask me.

If AI can already write automation code, why bother learning it? +
It's true, AI can write test scripts from plain English. But you're still the one responsible for that code. If you don't understand it, you can't tell whether it's right, and AI-written tests can look complete while missing important things. In an interview, nobody is checking how well you can prompt. They want to know that you understand the code, can guide AI in the right direction, and can spot when it gets something wrong. That's what I'll help you with.
I work full-time. Will I have time for this? +
Yes. Sessions are on weekends only, so they fit around your working week. The practice in between is focused on what actually moves you forward, not busy work. Using AI tools properly also saves you time. You won't need to leave your job.
I'm not in Australia. Can I still join? +
Yes. When you join the waitlist, tell me which city you're in, and we'll work out session times that suit you. Or book a fit call and we can talk it through.
What if my company doesn't use these tools? +
It depends on what you're aiming for. If you're looking for a new job, these are the tools I see most often in automation job ads in Australia. If you want to move into automation where you work now, the real question is whether you can pick up the tools your company uses. Once you've got the basics, you can. The ideas carry over from one tool to the next: how a test framework is set up, how tests run automatically, how API testing works. Learning your company's tool then takes weeks, not months. That's what the P.S.P.™ method is for, and you'll practise it on every tool in the program. I'm happy to talk through your situation on a fit call.
It's all Python. What if the company I want to join uses Java or C#? +
I chose Python because it's the easiest language to learn, and it gives you a strong foundation. Once you understand programming in Python, moving to Java or C# is mostly about learning new syntax. The ideas carry over, so everything you learn here is still useful.
I've tried learning before and it never stuck. +
That's really common, and it's usually because watching videos doesn't build real skills. In this mentorship you write real code, and I review it and help with the exact problems you run into. It isn't a two or three day course that's mostly theory. We take six weeks, so you have time to actually build the skills. The first two weeks are set up so you see progress quickly: your own plan, real code, feedback from me, and a project that's moving forward. You'll know early on whether it's working for you.
I'm not sure the investment is worth it. +
That's a fair question, and only you can answer it. What I can do is make it low-risk to find out. You pay a small deposit first, and the rest only after two weeks of live sessions. If it's not for you by then, I'll refund your deposit in full. If you attend at least 80% of the sessions and feel the program didn't deliver what I promised, I'll refund your full fee. The details are in the Refund Policy.
When does the next group start? +
There's no fixed date yet. Each group has four people, and a new group starts once four people are ready. I don't want to promise a start date I can't keep. Join the waitlist and I'll let you know as soon as a group is forming that suits you. Places are offered in the order people joined. If you'd like to talk about timing, book a fit call and I'll tell you honestly where things are at.
What does the mentorship cost? +
You pay a small deposit to hold your seat, and the rest only after you've done the first two weeks. That way you see what you're getting before you pay the full amount. If it isn't for you at that point, I'll refund your deposit in full, no questions asked. The price covers everything: all 48 hours of live sessions, the portfolio projects, and help with your resume and interviews. See the Mentorship page for everything that's covered. Early groups get a reduced founding rate, and I share the exact price with people on the waitlist first. Prices may change for later groups.
Can I talk to you before I sign up? +
Yes, you can book one now. It's a free 30-minute chat, not a sales pitch. We'll talk about where you are in your career, what you want to achieve, and whether this mentorship is right for you. If it's not, I'll tell you. Book a fit call, or email me at support@hanuranext.com with any question and you'll get a straight answer.
Why do I only pay the full amount after two weeks? +
Because I want you to decide based on real experience. You get the sessions, the feedback and the project work before you pay the full amount. If it isn't working for you, you can walk away. That only works for me if the mentorship is genuinely good, and I'm confident it is.
What if I'm not technical enough to start? +
You don't need any programming background. The first two weeks are designed to make the start easy. We begin with how you already think as a tester, introduce code a little at a time, and I give you feedback early, before confusion turns into frustration. Your testing experience is the foundation we build on.
What if life gets in the way and I can't keep up or finish? +
Every session is recorded, so missing one doesn't mean falling behind. If something bigger comes up, you can move to the next group once at no extra cost, and you'll pick up where you left off. And if you decide it's not for you after the first two weeks, I'll refund your deposit in full.
