If your college or university offers a course that prepares its students for the ISTQB certification exams, your students and professors may be eligible for significant discounts.
- ASTQB offers up to a 50% discount on the ISTQB exam fee to accredited colleges and universities that offer courses which include the ISTQB software tester certification syllabus and glossary. Courses may focus on the ISTQB Foundation Level or other ISTQB specialist or advanced level certifications.
- To obtain the maximum discount, the instructor must be able to provide an unpaid proctor and administer the certification exam to a group of in-person students. If the course is taught remotely, students may be eligible for a discount of up to 25% on a remote proctored exam. The exams will be administered via our official ISTQB exam provider, AT*SQA.
- Students and professors may also be eligible for these benefits:
- A free AT*SQA software testing micro-credential exam with each purchase
- Inclusion on the ISTQB successful candidate register and the Official U.S. List of Certified & Credentialed Software Testers™
- Inclusion in the AT*Work™ List of Testers for Hire
- Colleges and universities may be eligible to appear in:
- The AT*College™ list of colleges & universities offering courses that prepare students for ISTQB certifications or AT*SQA micro-credentials
- The AT*Consult™ List of Testing Services & Consulting Companies
- For further information, instructors should contact ASTQB and submit an ISTQB Certification Exam Group Scheduling Request.
- Instructors with proof of employment by the accredited college or university may also be eligible for a deeply discounted certification exam for their personal use, at the discretion of the ASTQB and AT*SQA staffs. Please contact us for more information or see the AT*College ISTQB student discounts page.
- AT*SQA also offers student discounts on AT*SQA software testing micro-credentials.
- These discounts and special offer are subject to change at any time without notice. ASTQB and AT*SQA reserve the right to limit the program to verifiably accredited colleges and universities at our discretion, including but not limited to geographic accreditation body considerations. This program is currently available to academic institutions in the United States, but we welcome inquiries from around the world so we can explore if there is merit in expanding it through AT*SQA.
