The path your company chooses really depends on the abilities and experience of the individuals on the team, as well as your corporate approach to learning. Do you have questions? We are happy to help.
*Be careful with online resources and training courses – they can vary greatly in their quality. For this reason, ASTQB has accredited select courses from training providers. This means we have reviewed the training materials to ensure they adequately cover the content in the syllabus for that certification. See the accredited training providers.
ASTQB's ISTQB online exams are more popular than ever, so the available times for taking these exams can be limited between now and the end of the year.
Here are recommendations that will help you:
Schedule in advance: If you know you are taking your exam before the end of the year, decide when you want to take an exam and schedule it early.
If you know you will not be able to take your previously scheduled exam on the planned date, log in and reschedule your appointment now. Do not wait until the last minute.
If you have been tasked to take your exam before the end of the year and/or you are not seeing available days and times, please contact the AT*SQA support team. AT*SQA has more than one online proctoring system and can help transfer you to another system if you are taking an online exam.
It can help you get jobs with American companies. American companies and governmental organizations check with ASTQB & AT*SQA to see if you are certified. Why?
