ISTQB® Certified Tester – Testing with Generative AI (CT-GenAI) (3 days)

Generative AI is reshaping the way we test – and you can learn how to use it in a meaningful and responsible way. The ISTQB® CT-GenAI certification shows you how LLMs, prompt engineering, and AI-supported testing approaches can help you design tests that are clearer, faster, and more grounded in real needs. You’ll learn how to spot and handle risks like hallucinations or bias and how to integrate GenAI step by step into your testing practice. This training gives you clarity, confidence, and many hands-on examples from real testing work. It enables you to use GenAI not by guessing, but by relying on skills that make a difference.

ISTQB® CT-GenAI: Certification for Generative AI in Software Testing

ISTQB® Certified Tester – Testing with Generative AI (CT-GenAI) is the international certification for testers who want to use Generative AI responsibly and with real value in their daily work. Building on the Foundation Level, it guides you step by step in applying LLMs, prompt engineering, and AI-supported testing techniques across the full test process – from requirements and test design to automation, reporting, and continuous improvement.

You don’t just learn the fundamentals of GenAI; you work with practical examples, real prompt patterns, and testing scenarios that reflect everyday challenges. You discover how to recognize and manage risks such as hallucinations, bias, privacy issues, or security concerns. You also get a clear and accessible introduction to modern AI testing architectures, including RAG, fine-tuning, LLMOps, and the use of AI agents.

target group

The CT-GenAI certification is designed for all roles involved in testing and quality assurance – whether you design tests, automate them, coordinate them, or lead teams. All you need is the CTFL. No programming skills required.

prerequisites

Basic knowledge of software testing is helpful for getting the most out of the ISTQB® CT-GenAI training.
To take the certification exam after the course, you’ll need the ISTQB® Foundation Level (CTFL) certificate.

exam & certification

The participation in the exam is optional. We assume that you take the exam after the training course. However, please inform us during the course booking if you wish NOT to attend the exam.

The exam lasts 60 minutes and takes place immediately after the seminar on the last training course day. We organize your exam for you. The independent certification body charges 225,00 Euro plus VAT for the examination, which we invoice together with the training course fee.

In addition to the ISTQB® Certified Tester – Testing with Generative AI LIVE-Online training you can also take the exam online from your home/office or in a Pearson Vue test center. We will send you the relevant information and an exam voucher (for payment) at the beginning of the course.
