Why do Test Engineers prefer ISTQB?
Whether you are an independent testing consultant, part of an in-house testing team, or just looking for a software testing job; as a software tester there are several reasons to choose ISTQB software testing certification over any other software testing certification:
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 popular software testing certification, ISTQB is recognized in more than 50 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.
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?
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 SLSTB accredited trainer, develop your own in-house seminars, create study groups, or self-study using books and websites – it's up to you.
