Why choose training provider and a course that is accredited by ISTQB?

An ISTQB accredited training provider is someone who has extensive knowledge and experience in testing and can provide additional insight into test terminology and syllabus content to facilitate the achievement of ISTQB certification.
A course from an ISTQB-accredited training provider guarantees that the content covers all sections and parts according to the Syllabus and is therefore a good basis for your ISTQB examinations. The teacher is also certified, has knowledge of the current course and also has pedagogical skills.

ISTQB has approved a new version of the Foundation Level Syllabus, 2018. The updates reflect market feedback and current status of the software testing industry.
For more information, see the press release.

As the ISTQB certificate on the Foundation and Advanced Level is lifelong, there is no requirement to take the  new course or certify again to keep you certified.

The purpose of the new syllabus is that newcomers in the testing world will get the training and/or certification corresponding to the environment they now will work in, and gain the knowledge that earlier certified people have learned during their practical work.

Training providers can now apply for accreditation for the new syllabus and courses may exist in the second half of 2018 in English and a little later in Swedish, when the Syllabus is translated into Swedish
SSTB will offer exam for FL 2018 in parallel with the current (FL 2011) in Swedish and English.

Current courses and examinations for FL 2011 will thus take place in parallel with FL 2018 until 2019-06-04 for English and 2019-12-04 for SWedish. After these dates, only FL 2018 is offered in English and Swedish.

Syllabus for FL 2018 (as well as changes) can be found here
