ISTQB® (International Software Testing Qualifications Board) is a not-for-profit Belgium-registered association and a global leader in software testing certifications. ISTQB® advocates for excellence in software testing and maintains a Body of Knowledge that allows testers to be certified following the industry’s best practices.

In order to promote the highest caliber in software testing, SHIFT ASIA management always encouraged its employees to acquire foundation to advanced level certificates. SHIFT ASIA recently joined the ISTQB® Partner Program as a platinum partner alongside roughly 70 other companies worldwide. ISTQB partner program consists of Silver, Gold, Platinum, and Global partnership types. Platinum status is exclusively granted to companies holding large numbers of certificates within the organization mentioned below – we currently have more than five advanced certificate holders thanks to diligent professionals.

◇ISTQB® partners are eligible for a level of partnership based on the number of certification points they have accumulated.

Platinum Requirements:
・ At least 30 certification points earned through certificates held by employees or external consultants who provide services for more than 70% of their time.
・At least three (3) Advanced Level Certificates.

The program grants multiple benefits to its participants, including eligibility to receive the Beta version of the new ISTQB® Syllabi with the opportunity to contribute to their review. More importantly, we believe joining the ISTQB® Partner Program will allow us to play a bigger role in the software testing community with a more structured approach. SHIFT ASIA is proud to highlight that our service is following internationally relevant high-quality standards.
