PRE-EXAM GUIDE
A useful guide on how to prepare for the all important exam day. The guide contains information based on what to do one week before, and one day before the exam. Also, helpful tips on what to do on the exam day itself.
TESTING CERTIFICATE
It is important to show any potential employer your qualifications and experience. In the field of software testing, this can be difficult, as there are not many certifications to choose from. Upon completion of the training course, a sharable certificate will be provided. This can be added to your LinkedIn profile, CV/resume etc. Share it on social media or print it out to show future employers.
