Requirements

In order to receive your Agile Tester certificate you need to have passed the Tester Foundation exam, known as CTF (Certified Tester Foundation). If you haven't received your CTF exam results yet, you can still take the Agile Tester training and do the Agile exam, but the certificate will not be issued until the CTF exam has been passed.

The Agile Tester course is intensive and in order to get the most from your training, we recommend that you read the course syllabus from ISTQB before attending the course. We will send you the syllabus once we receive your booking.

Career path

This course builds on the Foundation course. This course can then lead to further testing qualifications such as Intermediate and Management qualifications.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
