“Expensive” is a relative term, and some readers might wonder, “How could that be a factor?” The cost often deters companies or individuals from opting for instructor-led training, leading them to settle for pre-recorded online courses, or no training at all. Additionally, E2E test automation is a team effort. Some software companies, for financial reasons, may send only one or two people to training, which compromises the overall results.

I quickly googled test automation training (in Australia), and I found typical prices are near A$2000/day (~US$1300) for 2 days.
