ISTQB Certification Path

The ISTQB Certified Tester program is the most widely recognised path for building professional software testing skills. The structure is simple, flexible and supports both beginners and experienced testers.

1. Foundation Level (CTFL)

Everyone starts at the Foundation level.
You learn the basics of software testing, test design techniques, test management, and how testing supports quality throughout a project.
After the training, you take the CTFL exam. When you pass, you receive the ISTQB Foundation certificate, which opens the door to all advanced and specialist modules.

2. Advanced Level

With the Foundation certificate, you can continue with advanced roles.
ISTQB offers several modules depending on your career direction:

  • Test Analyst

  • Technical Test Analyst

  • Test Manager

  • Test Automation Engineer

Each module deepens your skills and ends with its own exam and certificate.

3. Specialist Certifications

In addition to the core path, ISTQB offers specialist modules for focused topics such as agile testing, security testing, usability testing, mobile testing and many more.
You choose the areas that match your role and industry.

4. Expert Level

For senior professionals, ISTQB offers Expert Level certifications.
To qualify, you must hold the right Advanced certificates and have proven testing experience.
Expert Level shows that you can lead testing processes, improve test strategies and support organisations at a strategic level.
