ISTQB® Certified Tester Foundation Level (Compact Course Syllabus Content)
3 days
You need the ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level certificate for your next career step? You want to listen to all the relevant content for your individual exam preparation again, internalize it and practice with exam questions for the exam? Then the ISTQB Foundation Level compact course is the right choice for you. Our trainers optimally prepare you to pass the ISTQB certification exam.
In this foundation level seminar, you learn the most important software testing terms and principles. Step by Step, we go through all the stages of the software testing process, from the planning to the specification to the testing and to the documentation of tests. We address professional test methods and show how they are connected methodically.
This course teaches the curriculum contents of the ISTQB® within three days. We also offer you a 4-day course in English or German language with plenty of time for hands-on scenarios and discussions. If you are interested in a more in depth exchange of experiences with your trainer and your fellow course participants, then we highly recommend to book our 4-day training course.
Many of our trainers are active members of ISTQB member boards and are very familiar with the curriculum content. In addition, all have many years of teaching experience in the field of software testing and as coaches and team members in both small and large projects in a wide range of industry sectors.

trendig's compact course ISTQB® Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) teaches the theoretical basics of software testing and focuses on passing the associated certification exam.
If you are a newcomer to the profession and would like to gain a deeper understanding of the practical use of the contents, we would recommend that you attend the 4-day training instead of the compact course.
Prerequisites
No particular requirements needed. Software skills and experiences with IT projects may be helpful for a deeper understanding of some issues.
benefits
We know that you can learn best when you feel good! Therefore, you receive not only a first class training but also an all around-catering and supervision.
open and in-house courses
If you want to determine the time and location of your training yourself, then our coach will come to you. With our in-house courses, everything is based on the wishes of our customers. Here you can see our range of in-house training courses. Go to our training
If you don’t wish to spend time and effort organising a training course, but simply want to register and get going while meeting new colleagues in your sector, then come to our open courses. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. Go to in-house training
small learning groups
As a training participant, you of course benefit from learning in a group and the experience of the other participants. Yet to ensure that you get to pose all of your own questions, we keep the group sizes very small, with a maximum of 10 participants. This allows our coaches to make certain that we meet the needs of all participants, even if the participants’ levels of existing knowledge differ.
date guarantee
Our courses are guaranteed to take place from as few as four participants, and provide you with long-term planning certainty for your training activities.
experienced trainers
In addition to their teaching work, all of our trainers have been and continue to be involved in projects, with each of them possessing more than 15 years of professional experience in various sectors. They have also all additionally acquired teaching qualifications. It is important to us not just to teach the training material, but also to enable each participant to enact what they have learned in the workplace. The point is for it to not feel superimposed, but instead for the acquired knowledge to be incorporated effortlessly into your own work.
early-booking and group discounts
You already know your training needs for the next year and would like to come to our trainings with several people? Then let us know! It helps us to be able to plan ahead, and we are therefore happy to offer you a discount.
By the way: a 15% early booking discount is available until 8 weeks before your course starts.
examination service
The DIN/ISO 17024 requirements stipulate that training companies cannot themselves provide the examination. An independent certification institute carries out the examination, not least to ensure the independent quality control of our training courses. We offer you the services of the certification institute so that you don’t incur the additional hassle of securing an examination appointment. We invoice the examination fee and organise your exam at the end of the course. You can simply focus on getting prepared.
trendig’s event ticket of Deutsche Bahn
In cooperation with Deutsche Bahn, trendig offers special conditions to travel to our training courses and conferences comfortably and environmentally friendly - with 100% electricity generated by renewable resources in long-distance travel, at a nationwide fixed price, from any DB railway station.
The extra for you as a participant: Your event ticket is valid 2 days before and 2 days after the event, for a maximum of 14 days, and city tickets for public transport connections are included.
We know that a sense of well-being helps you learn better. This is why we provide not only fresh knowledge, but also comprehensive catering during all breaks, with fresh and dried fruits, as well as other nerve-soothing foods ranging from nuts to biscuits. A lunch with all participants and our coaches is also a fixed part of our catering package.
hot and cold drinks
We ensure a limitless supply of hot and cold drinks throughout the duration of the course. So you can leave your thermos flask and water bottle at home, and let us serve you.
lean coffee or lean pizza event
Some of the course content requires further discussions and, when considered in-depth, throws up further questions which cannot be resolved within a normal training day. To this end, for all our 4- and 5-day courses we offer an in-depth session on one morning or evening, including catering. The participants jointly agree whether they would prefer to get up earlier or stay later, and which topics they would prefer to explore in greater depth with our coach in an informal atmosphere.
free wifi
We offer free WIFI at all our training locations. To allow you to quickly get to work at our premises, let us know in advance of the course and we will provide you with access details and a password.
feel-good atmosphere
We don’t hold with dilapidated offices that are unfit for running a business from but which are deemed good enough for a week’s training, and whose lack of light makes it easier to read the PPT slides. We know that a sense of well-being helps you learn better. That is why all our rooms are well-lit and have large windows. They feature a wealth of opportunities for creative development. Breaks are always spent outside the classrooms. After all, a change of scene is a key element to then being able to once more concentrate on the course content. And we of course also provide a sufficient supply of hot and cold drinks, as well as the necessary nerve-soothing snacks. Is there anything else we can help you with? Then please let us know! We make many things possible.
