The Software Tester program is built especially for Amazon Associates. The program accommodates people who have never done quality assurance or software testing in their jobs before. In fact, we welcome beginners. You don’t need experience - all you need is a passion for learning.
Our training will provide insight into how to use software testing in real jobs. Teaching Assistants will give you support as you develop skills using real business cases. Our mentor and peer support network will then support you as you find a new job.

Your participation in the training program will be covered by your Amazon Career Choice payment benefit, with any additional costs for the program being covered by Correlation One. If you enroll you will not need to pay for the program out of your own pocket.
We encourage any Amazon associates interested in learning and exploring new career options to apply. Please note to take part in the program you must be eligible for Career Choice benefits. In the US, full-time or part-time (20-29 hours per week) hourly L1-L4 blue badge employees that have been employed for 90 continuous days are eligible to participate in the program. In Canada, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom, full-time or part-time (20-29 hours per week) hourly L1-L3 blue badge employees that have been employed for one year are eligible to participate in the program.

There are no prerequisites to apply. Beginners are welcome, and you do not need to have any previous training or knowledge to succeed here.
The application process is an easy two step process consisting of a written application and a short skills assessment. Our process is not meant to be intimidating but a chance to get to know you better along the way! Our staff is here to guide you through the process each step of the way.
The assessment will test your knowledge of verbal and mathematical reasoning, technology use, and basic software tester problem-solving. Some of the questions may be difficult, which is normal. The point isn’t to get everything right but to show what you know and how you think so that we can curate the curriculum to your learning needs.
You should only apply to one program for now. You may select on your application if you want to be eligible for additional programs for which you’re eligible.
As soon as possible. Class seats are offered on a rolling basis.
A member of our team will reach out to let you know whether you’ve been accepted into the program. They will also let you know how to make sure you’re ready for the program on day one!
Of course. Our goal is to build the most flexible program for people with busy work and personal lives. With virtual content and an instructor staff ready to accommodate your needs, you’ll be able to succeed regardless of how busy you are. Career Choice also provides Amazon Associates with the ability to apply for school accommodations to reduce or change your work schedule to meet your needs as you complete the course.
If you leave Amazon for another job during the course you do not have to pay back tuition and you will be able to finish the course!
The course is taught by Correlation One training instructors. They’re great at making concepts easy to understand and practical, so that you can use them in the real world.
