10,000 times first-hand ISTQB knowledge: imbus Academy has trained one myriad Certified Testers

Moehrendorf, 20 January 2017 – ISTQB® Certified Tester is the leading international standard for initial and further professional development training in software testing. The imbus Academy makes a decisive contribution to this success: imbus’ Certified Tester trainings welcomed now their 1,0000th attendee.

“We were the first company in Germany that offered the ISTQB® Certified Tester in 2002”, says Arne Becher, head of the imbus Academy. “The QA community’s response confirmed our supply from the outset: In 2005, we had already trained 1,000 course participants as ISTQB® Certified Tester. Now, twelve years later, we reach the 10,000 mark.”
According to the International Software Testing Qualification Board there were about 470,000 Certified Testers worldwide in June 2016 – there are probably more than 500,000 by now. The certification scheme is recognized in more than 110 countries on all six continents.
imbus is one of the pioneers of the international training standard and is continuing to play an influential role in developing this standard, at national level in the German Testing Board and internationally in the ISTQB®. Anyone who attends the imbus Academy learns Certified Tester knowledge from first-hand experience.
Training participants can become professional software testers in three modules building on one another: Foundation Level, Advanced Level and Expert Level. Every stage can be completed with a certification. In addition to that, ISTQB® Certified Testers can train and certify for agile test and special topics such as automotive testing, usability testing and test automation.
