News, January 7, 2026

The software testing and quality assurance industry is constantly evolving. New technologies, stricter documentation requirements, and an increasing focus on automation and AI mean that it has never been more important to keep your testing skills up to date. But how do you choose the right testing course when both the offerings and the complexity are growing?

Since 2005, TestHuset has trained hundreds of testers, developers, and QA professionals in everything from fundamental testing methods to advanced test automation and AI-based testing. In this guide, you’ll find our best advice for selecting a course that aligns with both your ambitions and your everyday work.

Start With Your Goal – What Do You Want to Be Able to Do?

It may sound simple, but many people start by browsing course titles before considering what they actually want to achieve. The first step is to define your goal. Ask yourself:

  • Are you looking for a certification that strengthens your CV and job opportunities?
  • Do you want to learn new tools and techniques you can apply immediately in practice?
  • Do you need to understand how AI, DevOps, or CI/CD are changing the demands placed on testing?
  • Are you missing a method to structure your daily testing work?

Once you have defined your purpose, it becomes much easier to find the course that fits your needs.

Our 2026 course calendar covers everything from introductory courses such as Fundamentals of Software Testing and ISTQB Foundation to specialised programmes in test management, automation, and technical testing.

Choose the Right Level

Another important consideration is selecting the right level. If you choose a course below your current level of expertise, you may quickly feel underchallenged. Conversely, it can be difficult to get the most out of a course if you jump in at a level that’s too advanced without the necessary prerequisites.

If you are new to testing, we recommend:

Do you already have experience with testing?
Then it may be time to dive into a specialised area:

Are You Technically Oriented? These Courses Are for You

More and more testers are strengthening their technical skills because testing increasingly takes place close to the code, in automated setups, and at a pace where AI can help streamline both testing and workflows.

If you want to learn practical tools and techniques, we recommend:

These courses are highly practice-oriented and give you tools you can use immediately.
