ISTQB Benefits

Benefits for Tester

Whether you are an independent consultant or part of a larger in-house team, as a software tester there are several reasons to choose ISTQB software testing certification over any other software testing certification:

• It maximizes your options and your potential.  Whether you are trying to appeal to a broad range of clients, or providing options for your future career growth, ISTQB software testing certification is the best choice.  As the world's most-used software testing certification, ISTQB is recognized in more than 30 countries.  Globalization is making the world smaller every day, and you'll be ready, thanks to the only software testing certification that was designed by more than 100 software testing experts from around the planet.
  
  
• It could make you more competitive.  While no certification can guarantee career advancement, it certainly can’t hurt to hold credentials from a widely recognized testing certification program.  If there were two equally-qualified candidates for a position in your company, and only one had ISTQB software testing certification, which candidate would you rather be?
  
  
• It gives you the flexibility to choose your education.  We are strong believers in education.  However, software testing certification should be about certifying your knowledge – not about selling you courses.  That's why ISTQB doesn't require that you take courses from us.  Instead, we freely give away the syllabus that covers the exam topics, and let you choose the education that works best for you. Take a course from an VTB accredited trainer, develop your own in-house seminars, create study groups, or self-study using books and websites  – it's up to you.

Benefits for Organization

As an organization or manager looking for software tester certification, ask yourself these questions:

• Is this software tester certification practical? Does it focus heavily on theory, or does it focus on practical applications of software testing that we need every day? Can I get the results I need in a real-world corporate software testing environment?
  
  
• Is this software tester certification globally recognized? Can we utilize it with all of our offices and software testing employees around the world? Is it available in multiple languages and countries?
  
  
• Is this software tester certification credible? Does it allow us to choose the software testing educational approach that fits us best, or does it require that we take education from the same company that is providing the certification?
  
  
• Is this software tester certification trusted? Is it offered by a non-profit, volunteer-led organization? Does it use modern standards developed by more than 100 global software testing experts, or was it developed based on the opinion of just a handful of people?

Only ISTQB software tester certification offers your company all of these advantages versus other software tester certifications:

• It's practical, so it complements the way you work. The knowledge required by ISTQB software tester certification may be helpful the moment your software testing employees arrive back in the office: those who have achieved Foundation Level certification are more likely to share a common set of knowledge, nomenclature and principles. As a bonus, no time-consuming, expensive re-certification is required for Foundation Level.
  
  
• It's global, so you can be ready for the future. If your company, employees or customers aren't yet located outside the U.S., there is a good chance they will be soon. ISTQB software tester certification was developed by more than 100 software testing experts from around the world, is offered in more than 40 countries, and has resulted in more than 100,000 certified software testers worldwide. Over 300 of the Fortune 1000 companies have/had one or more employees that were ISTQB certified by VTB. ISTQB certification is the most widely used and fastest-growing software tester certification on earth, making it perfect for your company both now and in the future.
  
  
• It's credible, so it may be an easier sell to your organization. As an independent certification organization, we leave the choice of software testing education up to you. We provide a list of accredited training companies if you wish to employ the services of an outside, expert professional, but we don't require that you take software testing education from anyone. In fact, we make the syllabus - the basis for the test - freely available. This independence is the hallmark of ISTQB's credibility in software tester certification.
  
  
• It's trusted, so you will know you made the right decision. As the only global non-profit organization dedicated to software tester certification, we have brought together more than 100 software testing experts from around the world to ensure that ISTQB software tester certification standards are modern, up to date, and practical. With more than 40 countries actively offering ISTQB software tester certification, we have a worldwide, constant feedback loop to ensure ISTQB continues to the most relevant, trusted, and used software tester certification in the world.
