ISTQB Courses

Lloyd Roden Consultancy provides a variety of virtual courses to instruct, inspire and challenge individuals and teams to reach their full potential in testing software.

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. 

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.
