ISTQB certifications are recognized around the world, but how you earn them can shape your long-term career options. When you take ISTQB exams through ASTQB and AT*SQA, you get global recognition plus several added extras that boost your career in ways that other exam providers don’t.
First, your certification is valid internationally through the ISTQB® system, while also giving you visibility in both the ISTQB Successful Candidate Register and the added bonus of also being included on the Official U.S. List of Certified & Credentialed Software Testers™. That dual presence on both of these lists supports enhancing your career within the U.S., fully remote roles, and opportunities with global employers that screen for ISTQB when hiring.
Second, ASTQB and AT*SQA turn your ISTQB exam into a long-term career asset. You can appear in the AT*Work™ List of Software Testers for Hire whenever you’re between roles, helping recruiters and hiring managers find you quickly and helping you find your next role. Additionally, if your company offers QA services, you can help it qualify for the AT*Consult directory, which highlights testing services and consulting firms with certified testers.
Finally, every ISTQB certification through ASTQB and AT*SQA adds to your Testing Tiers® ranking, giving employers an easy way to compare your level of proven testing expertise with other candidates worldwide.
