Target audience

The ISTQB Advanced Test Analyst course is a certification course for software testers who wish to increase their knowledge of testing techniques. It is also recommended for test co-ordinators, test managers, and other responsible for testing at all levels. Regardless of your expectations, our experience in teaching this course is that students who have been trained specifically in testing techniques (e.g., in the Testing Techniques course we offer) have a greater chance of succeeding on the exam.

Course format & exam format

The first 2 modules of the course consist of a full review of the curriculum.  The 3rd module will be a full day of practice before the exam. Our courses are marked by a high level of individual activity.  All theory is tested through practice tasks and cases. Expect 20-30 hours of preparation before the course, as well as 10-20 hours between modules. The course, materials, and exam are all in Danish.

Exam format

The exam is developed by the Danish division of ISTQB, the Danish Software Testing Board (DSTB), and is administered by Dansk IT. The exam is a 3-hour, advanced multiple choice test based on a series of cases. There are approximately 65 questions, and you must answer at least 65% correctly to pass the exam.
