Create Memory

An image with the title "JOB HUNTING IN 2025? ATTEND TESTBASH FOR FREE!" is prominently displayed in large white text on a purple background. In the top right corner, a green, cartoon-style UFO with two small black squares representing eyes is flying.

Below the main title, there are eleven smaller, distinct images arranged in two rows. These are photographs from Testbash 2024. In the bottom left corner, there is a circular logo that says "TESTBASH BRIGHTON" with a stylised Ministry of Testing planet logo.

Hey everyone,

We've got some exciting news for those of you who have faced unemployment this year and are looking to connect, learn, and grow in the testing and quality engineering world. We're offering scholarship tickets* to TestBash! https://www.ministryoftesting.com/events/testbash-brighton-2025

We understand that finding work can be tough, and we want to help you stay connected and up-to-date with the latest in testing and quality engineering. If you've been unemployed at any point in 2025 and would love to attend TestBash, this is your chance.

You might wonder if there’s a catch and that this seems too good to be true. Given you’re a tester, I’d be worried if you weren’t thinking that! Rest assured, there genuinely is no catch. We work with many community members and pay them to contribute talks, articles and much more. Many generous members choose to donate their fees to the scholarship fund. This is what allows us to pay it forward on their behalf.

To apply, please:
1. Update your Ministry of Testing profile first. This helps us get to know you a little better!
2. Email us at hello@ministryoftesting.com with your MoT profile link and express your interest.

We look forward to hearing from you and hopefully seeing you at TestBash!

P.S. Thank you to the many community members who donate their fees to the scholarship fund. You are kindly paying it forward!

P.P.S. Not for you, but know someone who may benefit? Sharing is caring, pass this on.

*The TestBash scholarship ticket covers the cost of the ticket. It doesn't cover the cost of travel and accommodation.
