The aim of the course
Want to become professional in front-end test automation? Or at least improve your knowledge and skills in Selenium Webdriver and to be able to create stable, mature and well-structured test set, which are easy to maintain when tested application changes? Are you interested in learning how to exploit the potential of combining Selenium with Continuous Integration environment? If yes, this is the right training for you.We will start right away with the biggest concern regarding the front-end based test automation – maintenance of the test scripts. There are several approaches and tricks to use, all combined together, they actually work very well. We will discuss the layered architecture, and we will give thorough attention to the usage of Page Object design pattern and related concepts as well as how to get the maximal power from the automated tests using data grids and effective test data combinations.The second day of the training is dedicated to the combination of automated tests with Continuous Integration environment, a configuration of the execution environment of the more extensive set of tests and advanced logging possibilities. Then, the training focuses on the test automation of mobile applications using the Selenium in combination with the Appium environment.

About Us:
For more than 400 years, enchanting Lauriston Castle has overlooked the River Forth at Silverknowes, near Cramond. Set among 30 acres of woodland and beautiful gardens, Lauriston Castle is a special place to visit.
The Castle itself has a beautiful Edwardian interior, from which we take inspiration for many of our workshops. Downstairs are the servants’ quarters, including the maids’ hall and the atmospheric old kitchen, where a warm welcome awaits you during the winter months.
Why not double up a day visiting the Castle grounds with a picnic, and historic Cramond is right on our doorstep so you can make a real day out visiting this part of Edinburgh.
Free car parking is available within the Castle grounds off Cramond Road South. Lauriston Castle is easy to reach and is close by car from the City Bypass. It sits between Davidson’s Mains and Cramond. You can take numerous buses to Davidson’s Mains, or Silverknowes Terminus; both are around 10 minutes’ walk from Lauriston Castle. See www.lothianbuses.com for details of local services.

Term Time Art Classes for Children
Working with an artist, children will explore art techniques, principles, processes, artist’s work and traditional arts from around the world–developing their skill, creativity and knowledge. Emphasis is on self-expression and experimentation, with children learning through examples of work, exploration and ‘play’.
We cover a range of media, including clay, drawing, painting, printmaking, collage and sculpture, with focus on process and the journey of learning, the result—high-quality artwork.
All materials and equipment are provided and included in the cost.
These sessions are education-based, but a lot of fun, designed for students who enjoy art and want to develop their skills.
Children needing tuition and supervision for their own artwork are welcome to attend.
Teacher/Artist
A practising artist and arts educator for fifteen years in the UK, Sophie has led hundreds of art projects for children as well as running training sessions for teachers working with children. Her artwork has been exhibited in a range of art galleries, with one series of sculpture housed in a permanent collection at Wolverhampton Art Gallery.
Through her workshops and classes, Sophie aims to inspire creativity, sparking imagination, curiosity and awe, while at the same time teaching practical art techniques, processes and knowledge.
Sophie also works in the world of nonverbal communication, her second life-long passion. Occasionally she teaches combined nonverbal communication and art workshops. You can read more on our sister website My Alcomy.

Why I Run Art Classes for Children
“Creatively talented children, often, don’t get the recognition they deserve or the support they need to develop their full potential. Yet, recognising and nurturing artistic talent can have a profound impact on improving skills, knowledge–and emotional wellbeing.
In the fifteen years I’ve been working in the arts with children, what I’ve found, time and time again is creative talent often goes unnoticed or is disregarded. It’s not the fault of teachers or parents–children simply haven’t been observed in an environment where their true talents shine.
I’ve realised many children who underachieve academically, thrive creatively–if given the right environment and opportunity. Oftentimes, the child hasn’t realised their talent either, simply because they haven’t experienced variety in art.
I’ve seen underachieving children, and their teachers, light-up on discovering outstanding artistic talent. I’ve seen parents and teachers emotionally touched to see their children performing well at something–achieving a high standard. I’ve seen children find their ‘why’ and discover their motivation for the future...seeing these responses is my ‘why’!
I’ve seen a lot of this because my aim was always to inspire creativity, sparking imagination, curiosity and awe, while teaching practical art techniques, processes and knowledge, that otherwise would remain out of reach.
When we nurture creativity in children, we set the foundations for a positive future. We not only develop art skills but create opportunities for new ways of thinking, improving problem-solving skills.
When we nurture creativity in children, we also encourage self-expression, providing opportunities for children to experience and express feelings and emotion. And to create art, which in turn, evokes emotion.
We celebrate uniqueness and diversity and introduce new cultural experiences and traditions–learning through art.
We create opportunities for children to be mindful and fully immersed in a flow state, through meaningful projects.
We create their future!”
