End-of-Year Reminders to Boost Your Career

Here are three reminders that will give your career a boost as you finish the year:

1. If you have available budget, purchase your ISTQB certification exams, AT*SQA micro-credential exams, and AT*Learn training courses now because they are good for 365 days.
2. If you want to take an exam before the end of the year, schedule it now because time slots are filling quickly.
3. If you are taking ISTQB AI exams or ISTQB test automation exams and meet the criteria, $99 retakes are available, but must also be taken by the end of the year.

Future Proof Your Testing Career

During uncertain times and layoffs, the demand for ISTQB software testing certifications and AT*SQA micro-credentials typically increases. It's true this time, too, for reasons such as these:

• Staff cuts do not translate to a decrease in workload, so software QA productivity must increase quickly. Companies realize that a small investment in these credentials can have a very positive ROI.
   
• Employers want the best software testers when they hire, and they want proof. It's too easy to create a fake AI-generated resume that matches a job description, so employers want ISTQB certifications and AT*SQA micro-credentials as proof of your knowledge.
   
• CEOs and managers are excited about AI, so they want QA pros with AI skills. When you have ISTQB Testing with Generative AI and ISTQB AI Testing, you get their attention. (See our limited-time special $99 retake offer for these certifications and our $99 retakes for ISTQB test automation exams.)

If you want to future-proof your career, AT*SQA can help. Start adding ISTQB certifications and AT*SQA micro-credentials today.
