Course Overview
The ISTQB Advanced Test Analyst course extends the broad understanding of testing acquired at Foundation Level to enable the role of an Advanced or Senior Test Analyst to be performed.
This three-day tutor-led course includes lectures, exercises and practical work, as well as exam preparation. The examination is held at an agreed later date, so allowing adequate time for revision. It is fully-accredited by UKITB on behalf of ISTQB and has been rated SFIAplus level 5 by the BCS. The ISTQB Advanced Test Analyst course is principally aimed at test practitioners who have achieved an advanced point in their careers in software testing and are expecting to be actively involved in the analysis, specification, design and execution aspects of software testing, and who want to increase their knowledge and skills beyond the levels covered by the Foundation and Intermediate qualifications. This includes people in roles such as testers, test analysts, test engineers, test consultants, test managers, user acceptance testers and software developers. This Test Analyst Advanced Level qualification is also appropriate for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of software testing, such as project managers, quality managers, software development managers, business analysts and management consultants. Founded in 2002, ISTQB (International Software Testing Qualifications Board) is a not-for-profit association comprising 66 national boards (including the UKITB) to provide worldwide coverage ISTQB has defined the Advanced certification as part of their ‘Certified Tester’ scheme that, with over 240,000 certifications, has become the de facto world-wide standard for software testing qualifications. The ‘Certified Tester’ scheme: What’s Included?

Only thing I can point out is that it would be nice to have an issued schedule of lunch and such beforehand.
Phil Terry | Test Analyst | Horiba Test Automation –
Really enjoyed being back in the classroom, so much better than being online. I would recommend Rosie as a trainer. She was really clear and happy to answer questions as we went along. She also addressed concerns as if they were her own. Excellent.
Tressa King | Junior Test Engineer | Riverford Organic Farmers Ltd –
I found the course engaging, interesting and helpful. A big takeaway for me was the boost in confidence that I am ready for promotion. In fact I appear to be doing at least 3 peoples jobs simultaneously.
Rosie was just great in person and I hope to find occasion to train with her again.

I have been on several training courses with John and he never disappoints. He is so professional and doesn’t leave any question without response. He is genuinely interested so that all students would take most of his training courses and his support is immeasurable.
