  1. Certified Tester Program

In our Fundamentals of Testing course, you gain the essential knowledge required to take a professional approach to testing. Therefore, the next step in your career could be our Certified Tester program. The program provides you with a foundational education as well as a professional and effective approach to software testing. It consists of four modules, each with its own focus area. The program combines theory and practice with both individual and group assignments to be completed between modules. Since Fundamentals of Structured Testing corresponds to the first module of the Certified Tester program, you only need to complete modules 2, 3, and 4, along with the related assignments.
