Using the ISTQB Foundation Level as a base, the BCS Professional Certification – Software Tester syllabus develops and supplements core testing principles by considering the typical circumstances that anyone involved in testing encounters in the workplace. The BCS Professional Certificate – Software Tester exam demonstrates that candidates can apply software testing knowledge and skills to practical real-life situations through scenario-driven questions.
This three-day tutor-led course includes lectures, exercises and practical work. At the end of day three delegates prepare and take the examination. It is fully-accredited by BCS Professional Certifications and they have rated it as SFIAplus level 4.
Who is it for?
This BCS Professional Certificate Software Testing course is for anyone involved in practical software testing activities. It is not role-specific and considers the typical cross-skills required for a tester at any level working in a collaborative software development environment. The BCS Professional Certificate – Software Tester exam bridges the gap between the ISTQB Foundation and the role-based ISTQB Advanced Certificates and prepares candidates for more complex and in-depth role-based syllabi and scenario-driven examinations.
About BCS Professional Certification & ISTQB
BCS Professional Certifications have been established for over 25 years, and, until recently, were marketed under the ISEB (Information Systems Examination Board) portfolio. During this time they have gained worldwide recognition and are delivered in over 200 countries and are mapped to SFIAplus.
Founded in 2002, ISTQB (International Software Testing Qualifications Board) is a not-for-profit association, comprising 47 national boards (including the UKTB) covering 71 countries worldwide. It is responsible for the international software testing qualification scheme called ‘ISTQB Certified Tester’ which with over 240,000 certifications, has become the de facto world-wide standard for software testing qualifications.
The ‘Certified Tester’ scheme:
- provides a set of professional qualifications widely-recognised by employers, customers and peers;
- enables software suppliers to hire and train certified testers and thereby gain commercial advantage over their competitors by advertising their tester recruitment and development policies; and
- enables comparison of testing skills across different countries, testers to move across country borders more easily, and multi-national/international projects to have a common understanding of testing issues.

The course was very good, although there was alot things to cover. I would certainly recommend doing the Foundation course before this one, I would have struggled if I hadn’t done it beforehand.
Robert Reid|Test Analyst|Utility Warehouse –
I was very lucky to have my course 1:1 with the trainer which gave me a great benefit.
Toni Lampert|Apprentice Software Tester|Booking.com –
Angelina was an excellent trainer. Given the course is so new and we are one of the first ones to do the exam, she has helped us along the way and given us pointers towards exam techniques, and thoroughly explained any areas we were unsure about. It’s always a pleasure to be trained by Angelina.

Content was all covered however with virtual delivery it is difficult to stay engaged and focus.
Tom Woodason| Test Engineer Apprentice|IBM –
Very interactive and informative with a lot of helpful exercises.

Henry Roberts| Test engineer apprentice|IBM –
Course had lots of good info and resources. There could be additional sample papers for the course for practise.
Eloise Borderick| Junior Test Engineer|IBM –
The course followed the syllabus and explained key topics in the hope of preparing us for the exam in the future.
Adam Lake| Software Test Engineer|IBM –
I found this course much more engaging than previous courses because it was easier to follow to and relate to the content having already covered different parts of this course in previous courses. It brings together the ISTQB courses and testing knowledge very well, and Angelina makes the course very interactive and interesting. It was a slight annoyance due to how new the exam is, and the lack of practice exams, but apart from this the course delivery was excellent.
