Hi! I'm an internationally qualified technology trainer, specialising in Software Quality Assurance in testing and testing process improvement.

I've worked in London, Dubai, Washington and Hong Kong.

I deliver a wide range of software testing training programmes including the ISTQB certification, a globally recognised qualification. I'm now heavily involved with a specialist technical training company in the UK called SQA Skills, which focuses on sharing valuable knowledge in software testing.

I also thoroughly enjoy coaching corporations & individuals in best testing practices guided by BCS ISTQB certification. I also help organisations implementing Test Process Improvement (TPI) techniques within a testing framework.

5 yeaars ago I also was privileged to launch SQA Skills Hong Kong office.  I'm proud to have earned the respect of an ever-expanding client base of leading corporations in Asia and Europe; capturing the interest of Asia's leading online technology news forum http://verticaldistinct.com/richard-ede-on-software-testing/.

Yes, I'm a geek, but I also try to maintain a balanced interest in other passions like mountain biking, surfing and most importantly my family.
