If you are a U.S. veteran or eligible dependent, the VA offers exam reimbursement via the GI Bill® for ISTQB exams taken through ASTQB and AT*SQA. (GI Bill® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.) Below is the current list approved by the VA – others will be added once they meet the timing requirements.
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.
The following ISTQB exams are eligible for GI Bill® reimbursement if you take them through ASTQB or AT*SQA:
- ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL)
- ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level – Test Management
- ISTQB Certified Tester Advanced Level – Test Analyst

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