We’d like to introduce you to MoT-STEC: our Software Testing Essentials Certification, made in collaboration with the software testing professional members of the community.
So what? We’re pretty excited about this. It’s been a long time in the making. Many starts. Stops. And starting over. What we’ve landed on what we feel is authentic, relevant and community-led. Most importantly it’s for the long-term benefit of the software testing community.
It feels special, and it’s designed to help new testers kick-start their career with confidence.
Come and watch the introductory video to get a taste of what to expect. 👇
Why it matters…the lack of a strong foundational and independent course for software testing has been a pain point for software testers for quite some time. We wanted to create something of real value whilst maintaining a strong community ethos.
What’s next? MoT-STEC is available now to purchase and start learning. We’ve released the first two modules and aim to have the full certification available by the end of February 2025. We have a 50% early bird offer available until December 22nd 2024.
Zooming out…here’s an overview of what MoT-STEC will cover.
The Essentials Certification from Ministry of Testing is a modern introduction to the world of testing software.
