“𝐈𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐈𝐒𝐓𝐐𝐁 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐣𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬?”

 We heard this question more times than we can count.

But if you’re working in test automation, building frameworks, leading QA initiatives, or trying to prove the ROI of what you automate…
There’s an entire advanced layer built specifically for experienced professionals:
𝐂𝐓-𝐓𝐀𝐄 (𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫) – for those engineering maintainable, integrated, resilient test automation solutions.
𝐂𝐓-𝐓𝐀𝐒 (𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐀𝐮𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲) – for those designing organization-wide strategies that connect automation with real business value.

These aren’t entry-level certificates. They’re about:
– Thinking beyond tools and scripts;
– Designing automation like systems engineers;
– Making strategic decisions that survive team changes, tool fatigue, and budget cuts.

Because at a certain point, It’s not about collecting certifications – it’s about sharpening the way we think about automation.
So no, ISTQB isn’t just for beginners.

It’s for people who’ve written many lines of test code and now ask:

“𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘦 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘥𝘰𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘳?”

Which path is right for you – tactical (CT-TAE) or strategic (CT-TAS)?
