ISTQB 2011 and 2018
Recently, the ISTQB released a new Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) syllabus. While the fundamental principles and best practices of testing remain, a number of areas have been updated to take into account modern industry trends. Beginning in November 2018, all of our On-SitePublic Classroom, and Live Virtual courses will be aligned with the 2018 syllabus and accompanying exam. For the immediate future, our self-paced eLearning course will remain aligned to the 2011 syllabus. 

CTFL certification is good in perpetuity. Once a professional has earned the certification, they retain the credentials even if the criteria are updated. Learn more about the changes.
