About this course
The Certified Agile Tester (CAT) certificate was launched by the International Software Quality Institute (iSQI) to offer the leading, internationally- recognised Agile certification for software testers working in an Agile project environment or those interested in Agile, such as managers, Scrum masters and developers.
The Certified Agile Tester certificate forms part of our software testing certification portfolio and career path, and is aligned with SFIA/SFIAplus (Skills Framework for the Information Age).
The certificate is awarded to successful delegates who complete a 5 day training course which features practical exercises, continuous soft skills assessment throughout the training, followed by theoretical and practical exams. Designed as a very interactive course, delegates have the opportunity to discuss and share their experiences with others and to extend their knowledge of testing in agile projects. Practical exercises based on a complete agile life cycle are used to help delegates to put learning and their knowledge in to practice throughout the course.
Please note: This course includes the use of PC's to support the learning exercises and assessments throughout the training, as well as being used for the Examination. Should you wish to run this course at your own premises, then PC's must be provided for each delegate.
