Testing and Quality Management

ISTQB® Certified Tester Foundation Level

Learn fundamental software and system testing terms and concepts, and prepare to take the ISTQB® Certified Tester Foundation Level exam.

This training helps prepare participants for taking the exam to qualify as an ISTQB® Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL). It covers basic skills and techniques associated with software testing, which can help participants to more efficiently and effectively perform testing that accompanies the development of their products’ software. The training instructs participants how to improve software and system testing in their organizations and, as a result, improve the software quality of their products.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to apply the covered testing techniques to their own projects and perform targeted tests.

We recommend participants to complete further self-study in addition to taking this training in order to succeed in passing the exam.

Participants receive the book Software Testing Foundations.

Cancellation Policy

Contractual cancellation right

The registration can be cancelled free of charge 30 days before the training date, after which the following rules apply:

30 days – 14 days before the start of the training: 50% of the participation fee

14 days or less before the start of the training: 100% of the participation fee

This shall not apply when a substitute attendee is named. This is possible until the registration at the beginning of the event.

The relevant cut-off date for the calculation of the cancellation period is the first training day of a bindingly booked training.

The cancellation must be declared in writing and sent by email to the training provider.

Naming substitutes

The participant may, after receiving the registration confirmation, name a substitute in writing prior to the beginning of the seminar.

This change of reservation is free of charge; seminars spanning several days may be transferred only in their entirety, i.e. attended by one substitute.

Date cancellations and date changes

The training provider has the right to change the location of events and/or specify a different date as a substitute. The training provider also reserves the right to cancel dates for organizational reasons (e.g. number of participants too low, illness of the speaker at short notice).

The training provider will notify the participant of the cancellation and of the reason with-out undue delay and will attempt to change the participant's reservation, provided that he agrees to a different date or event location. Otherwise, the full amount of any already paid attendance fee will be refunded in the case of a cancellation; no further claims exist, particularly no refund of travel and/or accommodation cost.
