CO-WELL Tech Academy officially launched: Building a new Vietnamese Tester Generation

The rapid growth of the digital economy has increased businesses’ reliance on software systems. As a result, ensuring quality and security has become more critical than ever. To address this growing demand, CO-WELL Asia officially launched CO-WELL Tech Academy, a hands-on software testing training center, on December 10 at 3D Center Building, No. 3 Duy Tan Street, Cau Giay District, Hanoi.

CO-WELL Tech Academy was established with a clear mission: to develop high-quality software testing professionals for the Vietnamese market.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Mr. Oshima Azuma, CEO of CO-WELL Asia, stated:

“The demand for software testers is rising quickly. However, the market still lacks professionals who can contribute immediately to real projects. CO-WELL Tech Academy was created to deliver training programs aligned with actual business needs. Our goal is to help learners shorten the gap between learning and working.”

Practical, Project-Based Training from Real Business Cases

CO-WELL Tech Academy provides training in Software Testing and Security Testing. The programs target IT students and working professionals who want to strengthen their technical skills.

The Academy stands out through its project-based training approach, which allows learners to study using real projects from real enterprises.

With over 12 years of experience in software development, CO-WELL Asia has successfully delivered hundreds of projects for Japanese and international clients. This experience enables the Academy to design training programs based on real-world scenarios. As a result, learners gain a clear understanding of project workflows and are ready to join projects after completing the course.

In addition, CO-WELL Asia is one of only nine companies worldwide certified as an ISTQB Global Partner. This certification demonstrates its strong technical expertise and compliance with global standards.

All instructors at CO-WELL Tech Academy are Leaders and Managers who are actively working on projects at CO-WELL Asia. The Academy also partners with GSX, a Japan-based security testing training provider. Through this collaboration, internationally standardized Security Testing courses are delivered in Vietnam to meet strict quality requirements.

A representative of CO-WELL Tech Academy shared at the event:

“CO-WELL Asia has a strong internal training system and a highly skilled team. Through CO-WELL Tech Academy, we aim to share our practical experience with young professionals. We focus on hands-on training and continuously update our programs with new trends such as test automation and security testing. This approach helps learners enter the job market with confidence.”

Strong Growth Potential of the Software Testing Industry

Currently, software testing professionals are among the most sought-after talent groups, given their critical role in ensuring quality across digital systems. In particular, Automation Test Engineers earn an average salary approximately 32% higher than manual testers, clearly reflecting the market’s demand for advanced skill sets. At the same time, as cyberattacks become more frequent and increasingly sophisticated, Security Testing has emerged as a vital line of defense for modern technology products.

Against this backdrop, the launch of CO-WELL Tech Academy is considered timely, directly addressing the existing skills gap in the market.

Developing a New Generation of High-Quality Testers for Vietnam

The launch of CO-WELL Tech Academy marks a strategic step toward solving workforce challenges in Vietnam’s fast-growing technology sector.

By bringing real enterprise experience into the classroom, the Academy aims to develop a new generation of software testers who are technically strong, practically experienced, and aligned with emerging technology trends. These professionals will be well prepared to support businesses on their digital transformation journey.
