Greenliff: Certified Tester - Course Structure

There are currently two levels of certification: The Foundation Level and the Advanced Level. For both levels, international working parties develop and maintain internationally uniform curricula and exams. Our training courses closely match the ISTQB® Certified Tester standard with its two level structure.

The Foundation Level exam checks for the basics in software testing. It provides information about the certificate holder's level of familiarity with the most common concepts of software testing and the associated terminology. The Foundation Level is an important stepping stone on your way to become a test expert.

The Advanced Level is more in-dept and much more practice oriented than the Foundation Level. The Advanced Level exam is composed of three sections. They correspond to the three different subject areas: Test Analyst, Technical Test Analyst, and Testmanager.
