Story

Built for accountable evening labs

WiseUp APIWise QA Academy started as a Namwon-si study circle for engineers shipping nightly builds. It grew into a 23-person crew blending subject specialists, portfolio mentors, and operations coordinators who keep cohorts honest about time and scope.

• Weekly milestones with visible rubrics—not hidden scoring.
• Labs that assume employer VPN realities and real defect backlogs.
• Mentors who publish errata instead of silently re-recording weeks.
