What makes AT*SQA a great choice in Canada
Most candidates want two things: scheduling flexibility and preparation materials that match the exam they will actually take. With AT*SQA, you can schedule within 365 days after purchase, and you can access preparation materials on the AT*SQA educational resources page. AT*SQA is also a non-profit, and it reinvests in candidate support and career-focused extras.
Preparation that matches the AT*SQA exam style
Generic practice questions can help you learn concepts, but they are not always written like the exam you are taking. AT*SQA provides two additional practice exams for ISTQB Foundation Level that are built to closely match the question style you will see on AT*SQA exams. You can find these and other free materials on AT*SQA Educational Resources.
If you plan to take your exam online, see ISTQB online exam information and instructions for online exams so you know what to expect before exam day.
A free micro-credential exam is included with your ISTQB purchase
When you book an ISTQB exam through AT*SQA, you can request a free AT*SQA micro-credential exam. This gives you an extra resume-ready credential in a focused area that employers hire for, such as API testing, test automation, or AI testing skills. See the offer details at free micro-credential with ISTQB purchase, and browse the full catalog of micro-credentials for software testers.
Career visibility tools that can help after you pass
After you pass, your certification can be verified through official ISTQB listings. AT*SQA also provides optional career visibility tools that employers and clients use. The AT*Work directory for testers open to roles or projects, and AT*Consult for consulting and services visibility.
