My learning journey at Bugbuster Academy has been an amazing one. Before joining, I had no prior understanding of software testing but the Academy gave me a solid foundation.

BugBuster Academy is more than a school

It's a movement of lifelong learners, mentors, and innovators shaping the future of tech education in Africa and beyond.

Testing and technology are crafts - not checklists. We teach our students to think critically, explore deeply, and solve problems contextually. In the spirit of the Context-Driven Testing community, we believe: "The value of any practice depends on its context." That's why we don't produce rote learners; we produce adaptive professionals ready for the real world.
