How the ISTQB Foundation Level takes you further
The language of
software testing
The ISTQB has been setting the standard for software testing for over 20 years. This means that it is clear in your projects what a system testing is, what equivalence class formation means and what you can do with keyword-driven testing.
International
Certification
Almost 1 million certificates have now been issued in over 130 countries. Certification is now mandatory in many job advertisements for quality and testing. And it gives more freedom and potential on the job market.
Practical &
Suitable for everyday use
I back up the ISTQB theoretical content with many practical examples and exercises from my everyday project work. And there is enough room in the seminar to discuss and solve your everyday situations.
LEARN &
Networking
Lifelong learning is essential today - books, seminars, training courses or workshops bring and more knowledge. But at the end of the day, people learn from people. Use the group of participants and my expertise to solve your challenges.

Training on the job
"Testing is like clicking around - only more blatant" - Richard Seidl
Ernst Ferstl said: "The difference between theory and practice is far greater in practice than in theory." This is also the case with the ISTQB. Putting it into practice is not always easy. That is why it is important to me to include many practical examples from my projects in the seminar and to solve the everyday challenges of the participants with the ISTQB method kit.
I offer the ISTQB seminar in various forms so that it can be integrated into everyday working life in the best possible way. A few examples
- Classroom training or online training
- Training in German or English possible
- 1x4 days or 2x2 days
- or as a 12-week "Training on the job" program with accompanying group support from me
