Tester Certification from ISEB and ISTQB

Certification is recognised as the essential measurement to prove knowledge of the fundamental principles of testing techniques for those making a career in testing. Senior executives have realised that major IT Projects cannot be successfully implemented without a committed and enthusiastic testing team. Increasing demand for qualified personnel means that proof of knowledge is now vital for employers. SQS offers certification programmes leading to both the ISEB and ISTQB schemes.
