ISTQB Courses

Lloyd Roden Consultancy has streamlined the ISTQB courses that are provided. The ISTQB Agile Tester Foundation course is only applicable for those who want to progress to the ISTQB Advanced Agile and who hold the ISTQB Foundation v3.1 certificate.

All my courses are conducted online incorporating a mixture of teaching styles using Microsoft Teams. The courses consist of a three-hour teaching session in the morning, individual/group work in the afternoon and then a final online session for any questions and learning games before setting homework in the form of practice exams for the evening. This creates an environment where the courses can be interactive and fun but also where we are not sitting at a screen all day. The virtual courses will hopefully instruct, inspire and challenge individuals and teams to reach their full potential in testing software.


These virtual courses are being offered publicly (please see public course dates) or can be conducted for your own organisation which would be a cheaper option where there are seven or more people attending. Course notes, practice exams and exercises are supplied in both hard and soft copy formats.

With regards the ISTQB exams, these can also be taken in the comfort of your own homes, through remote proctoring, at a date and time convenient to you. 

There is a synopsis for each course listed below. If you would like to receive more information about any of the courses, provisionally book a course, or would like a quote to run any of the following courses specific for your company then please don’t hesitate to contact me.

ISTQB Foundation Level (V4.0)

This 3-day course is aimed at anyone wishing to attain the ISTQB Foundation Certificate in Software Testing and is a prerequisite for all other ISTQB qualifications in Software Testing. The course provides an understanding of the fundamental principles of testing, explains different testing terminology, provides an overview of different test techniques and how to apply them, gives an insight into managing the test activities and explains some of the key tools used for effective test automation.

ISTQB Agile Tester Foundation

This 2-day course is aimed at anyone wishing to attain the ISTQB Agile Tester - Foundation Extension qualification. A tester on an Agile project will work differently than one working on a traditional project. Testers must understand the values and principles that underpin Agile projects, and how they are an integral part of the whole-team approach together with developers and business representatives. This course is highly practical and will give the Agile tester the knowledge and essential skills they need to be an active member of an Agile team and how to achieve high performance within the team.

Many of the concepts in this course have now been included in the new ISTQB Foundation v4.0. However, this qualification is a pre-requisite to sitting the ISTQB Advanced Agile exams and you hold the old ISTQB Foundation v3.1 qualification.
