Playwright Weekend Course: Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced

The ADC Playwright course runs over weekends, 100% online, with one level per weekend: Beginner at €299 incl. VAT, Intermediate at €399 and Advanced at €499. Each level is registered separately. This guide explains what the five modules cover, who each level is for, and gives you a five-question self-check to pick where to start. One point to confirm with the team first: the detailed programme page is currently published in French, so check the language of the weekend you want before you enrol.

One weekend per level, 100% online

Each level takes a Saturday and a Sunday, entirely online, and is registered separately. The five modules are spread over three levels, so you choose the one that matches what you can already do. Basics in JavaScript or TypeScript help but are not required: an upskilling module is built in. The next session is planned for January 2027; confirm the dates and the language of the weekend with the team when you enrol.

Beginner (€299 incl. VAT)

Module 1 is for people who are new to Playwright or who test manually and want to automate their first cases. You install the tool, write selectors and actions (click, fill, expect) and learn the TypeScript you need for tests. Our free Playwright course (PDF) is a good way to try the tool before you enrol, and you can watch Claude Code write a Playwright test from scratch.

Intermediate (€399 incl. VAT)

Modules 2 and 3 suit you if you have already written some tests and your suite is getting hard to maintain. Module 2 covers the Page Object Model, Playwright fixtures and reusing authentication state. Module 3 covers REST API tests, native parallelisation with workers, sharding and network mocking. For a taste of the API part, see our tutorial on Playwright API testing with the request fixture.

Advanced (€499 incl. VAT)

Modules 4 and 5 are for teams whose tests exist and must run reliably: a GitHub Actions pipeline that keeps traces and failure screenshots, Allure and HTML reports, the Trace Viewer and the interactive debug mode.

Self-check: which level are you?

Answer yes or no. This is a guide from ADC, not an official assessment.

1. Have you installed Playwright and run an end-to-end test?
2. Can you write a locator with getByRole or getByLabel, and an expect assertion?
3. Have you organised locators in Page Object classes, or used fixtures?
4. Have you tested a REST API or run your tests in parallel?
5. Do your tests already run in a pipeline, with reports you read when they fail?

A "no" to the first question: Beginner. "Yes" to the first two and "no" to the next two: Intermediate. "Yes" to all five, or "yes" to questions 4 and 5 with a need for reliability across a team: Advanced. If you are unsure, a 30-minute call with the team settles it.

After the weekend

After the weekend you keep platform access for 6 months and replays for 24 months, with up to 3 individual follow-up sessions. The course is fundable by your employer, or payable in 1 to 4 instalments at no extra cost; see course financing. It ends with an ADC certificate, issued in your name as a PDF with a digital badge and valid for 3 years. It is an ADC certificate, not an ISTQB exam.
