The ISTQB® Certified Tester is a world wide commonly used standard in the field of Software Testing. Hundreds of experts from more than 40 countries are currently working on that scheme. The program is internationally comparable because of the international set-up. That is almost unique for such a certification program. Thus it is possible to take the same examination in different languages.
By becoming an ISTQB® certified tester, you will distinguish yourself as someone who knows how to use software testing techniques. You can design, plan and implement audits and tests. Furthermore you are able to evaluate risks concerning business processes.

As an ISTQB® Certified Tester you know the fundamental test terms and all norms and standards relevant for tests. You know how to create significant error messages, how to control the error-correction process and how to plan, organize and administer reviews.
