YES4Q

What YES4Q does

YES4Q s.r.o. is a privately held Czech consulting and training firm founded in 2015 by Petr Neugebauer in Blansko, Czech Republic, that specializes in software testing and quality assurance. The company operates two core service lines: Academy, which delivers ISTQB-accredited certification training (Foundation Level v4.0, Advanced Level Test Analyst, Test Automation Engineer 2.0, Agile Tester, Testing with Generative AI) plus specialized technical courses covering performance testing, JMeter, mobile application testing, and automotive standards (ISO 26262, Automotive SPICE); and Consulting, which provides mentoring, process improvement (using TPI NEXT and TMMi frameworks), and talent management engagements. The firm also organizes the annual TestCrunch conference in Brno, drawing 350+ QA professionals since its 2015 launch. Course prices are publicly disclosed per participant in both CZK and EUR (e.g., 7,500-19,900 CZK / 300-800 EUR), with ISTQB syllabi translations and material licensing offered as additional revenue streams. GTM is enterprise field sales plus event-driven demand generation, serving a hybrid mix of individual IT professionals pursuing certification and enterprise clients across automotive, telecommunications, insurance, and ITS verticals, with selective international engagements in Turkey and Germany. Underlying technology is essentially human expertise: all training content is developed in-house by active practitioners and delivered by senior consultants whose certifications and CaSTB roles (Petr Neugebauer as President since 2015) provide the firm's primary differentiators. The firm reports no venture or institutional funding and operates with 1-10 employees.
