This training gives testers practical skills for using generative AI in their daily work. It explores how AI can support the testing process, from requirements analysis and test design to automation and reporting. Participants learn to write effective instructions, assess the quality of AI-generated results and recognize the limitations and risks of using AI in testing.
The course is designed for testers, test analysts, test automation engineers, and test managers. We also recommend it to developers, analysts, quality managers, and project managers who want to understand how generative AI can be applied to testing.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamental concepts, capabilities, and limitations of generative AI and large language models.
• Create and refine prompts (instructions, questions, or tasks given to AI) for a range of testing tasks.
• Assess the quality of AI-generated output and identify misleading responses and bias.
• Understand the data protection and security risks associated with using AI and how to mitigate them.
• Understand the architecture and potential applications of testing solutions based on language models.
• Contribute to developing a strategy and action plan for adopting generative AI.

Training is held in English.

The course helps participants prepare for the ISTQB CT-GenAI certification exam. To take the exam, candidates must hold an ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) certificate.

This training develops the knowledge and skills needed to test AI-based systems and assess their quality. It addresses the challenges of testing software that learns from data and may produce different results for the same input. The course helps testers choose suitable testing approaches and evaluate whether a system performs as intended.
The course covers the principles of artificial intelligence and machine learning, focusing on how testing these systems differs from testing conventional software. Participants will learn to assess data suitability, interpret model outputs, and select appropriate testing approaches. Particular attention is given to the specific considerations involved in testing generative AI and large language models.
The course is designed for testers, test analysts, and test managers working with AI-based systems. We also recommend it to developers, data analysts, data scientists, quality managers, and project managers who want to understand how to assess the quality of these systems and organize their testing.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Understand the fundamental concepts of artificial intelligence and machine learning, as well as the specific considerations involved in testing AI-based systems.
• Understand the quality characteristics of AI-based systems and their importance in testing.
• Assess the quality and suitability of data used in machine learning.
• Use and interpret metrics to evaluate the performance of machine learning models.
• Design and execute tests for machine learning-based systems.
• Understand the opportunities and challenges involved in testing generative AI and large language models.
• Contribute to developing a test strategy for a machine learning-based system.

Training is held in english.

The course is based on the ISTQB CT-AI 2.0 syllabus and helps participants prepare for the certification exam. To take the exam, candidates must hold an ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL) certificate.

Test Automation Engineer training covers all the essential topics of test automation. It pays attention to soft skills just like opportunities and threats of automation, as well as implementing test automation in your organization. But this just for beginning - training delves into technical issues just like test architecture, improving testability, test scripting best practices and validating the tests. We also recommend this training to all of the developers who care about their code!

Next trainings: 15.-17. December 2025, 25.-26. March 2026, 14-16. December 2026.

This training requires some experience with test automation and coding, but knowledge of framework or some specific programming language is not important.

Training participant can:

• Contribute to the development of a plan to integrate automated testing within the testing process
• Evaluate tools and technology for automation best fit to each project and organization.
• Create an approach and methodology for building a test automation architecture (TAA).
• Design and develop (new or modified) test automation solutions that meet the business needs.
• Enable the transition of testing from a manual to an automated approach.
• Create automated test reporting and metrics collection.
• Manage and optimize testing assets to facilitate maintainability and address evolving (test) systems.

Online training! This training is mainly aimed at testers who deal with test automation and developers who wish to develop their technical testing skills. The course will cover structure-based test design techniques, test automation, but also the testing of certain non-functional requirements such as code quality, performance, security. After finishing the course the trainees may choose to take the ISTQB Advanced Level Technical Test Analyst certification exam.

Next trainings: 22.-24. April 2026

Participants will have the following skills and knowledge:

• Assessing code quality using different methods, both static and dynamic,
• Designing tests using white-box test coverage criteria,
• Defining technical quality requirements for software (security, performance, maintainability),
• Conducting technical tests and using various tools.

This training gives overview of the very basics of software testing. It is aimed mainly at people in IT who are not testers by position, but somehow involved in testing – business representatives, project/product managers, analysts etc. The answers to following questions are found during course: what must be tested and how, who should participate in testing and how to synchronize testing with other development activities.

Main topics include:

• Planning of testing types and levels in a development project,
• Common testing-related vocabulary,
• Principles of test documentation,
• Basic test design techiniques.
