Description

With more than 10,000 students and 4.5 review on my first version of this course (ES)Based on the latest version of the syllabus (CTFL v4.0.1)This course is NOT a reading of the syllabus, it uses it as a base and is covered entirely, but additionally there are many practical examples and supplementary material to help break down the terms and understand them better.Organized by sections, with an exam of each section at the end, and a full practice exam simulating the real exam at the end of the course and a class with tips and advice on how to approach the ISTQB exam so that you get better results.I have been teaching the ISTQB certification preparation course for 8 years, always seeing excellent results in the students who take this course, in terms of obtaining the certification and in significant job changes due to the knowledge acquired.Simply taking this course does not make you ISTQB certified, for this you must take the corresponding exam and pass it, this course does provide you with all the necessary knowledge to pass the exam and become certified.After you have thoroughly completed this course you will be ready to schedule your exam with a high chance of passing on your first attempt.
