If you are a U.S. veteran or eligible dependent, you may be able to have your ISTQB exam fees reimbursed through the GI Bill® when you take your exams through ASTQB and AT*SQA. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has approved a growing list of ISTQB certifications for exam reimbursement, giving you a way to strengthen your software testing career while using your hard-earned benefits.

Note: If you search for ISTQB certifications on the VA site, type “istqb” (without the quotes) and click on “istqb (__ results)” to see all of the approved courses, as there are many more approved ISTQB certifications through ASTQB and AT*SQA than are shown in the preview. Alternatively, you can type the full certification name, but it will need to include the appropriate abbreviations, making it very difficult to do correctly.

Currently approved ISTQB exams include:

Additional ISTQB certifications will be added once they meet the VA’s timing requirements.

If you are seeking credentialing reimbursement through a DOD COOL program (Navy, Army, Air Force & Space Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, or DOD Civilian COOL), see the ASTQB / ISTQB Certification Plus™ information for details.
