ISTQB Certification Exam FAQs


Can I take the ASTQB’s ISTQB certification exam from anywhere in the world and appear on ASTQB’s Official U.S. List of Certified Testers™?

Yes! American companies hire employees and contractors worldwide, and they check the Official U.S. List of Certified Software Testers™ to see if testers have passed ASTQB’s official American English ISTQB exam. That’s why ASTQB offers the ISTQB exam online at home and in testing centers globally through AT*SQA. Important: You must book your exam through our ISTQB exam registrar AT*SQA, or you will not appear in the Official U.S. List of Certified Testers™ or the AT*Work™ directory that lists software testers who are available for hire. Below are just some of the countries that have testers who may work for U.S. employers and are ISTQB-certified by ASTQB and AT*SQA.
