Why are ISTQB and ASTQB important to your career and company?
What is ISTQB?
What is ISTQB?
According to a global effectiveness survey done by ISTQB, test managers would like to have approximately 75% of their staff certified at the ISTQB Foundation Level. In the U.S., many companies tell us they strive to certify 100% of their test team at the ISTQB Foundation Level – and beyond.
So what is ISTQB? ISTQB is the most popular software testing certification in the world with certifications for the foundation level, advanced level, and expert level.
You probably already know that, but ASTQB – the official representative of ISTQB in the United States – is working hard to ensure companies also know about your ISTQB certifications. ASTQB and our ISTQB exam provider AT*SQA have advertised our Official U.S. List of Certified Software Testers™ to companies more than 1 million times.
Both ISTQB and ASTQB strive to bridge the gap between research, standard training, and industry practice within software testing. With this ongoing commitment, ISTQB certifications are recognized worldwide and requested more than ever by U.S. companies.

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.
