About the Course and Certification

In the fall of 2015, the ASTQB (of which I am on the board of directors) felt there was a compelling need for testers to have a robust and meaningful certification focused on testing mobile applications. So, we set about writing a syllabus and exam for that certification. I was honored to contribute as a co-author of the syllabus. At the present, this is a certification only offered by the ASTQB.

To learn more about the certification, see the syllabus and sample exam, just go to:

There are no pre-requisites for this certification! While we reference concepts from the ISTQB Foundation Level, everything you need to know is taught in this course.

We have exercises to reinforce key concepts and sample exams after each module to give you a taste of what to expect on the actual exam. You can also bring your own mobile device as a way to perform the exercises, although this is not required.

Costs and Logistics

Cost: $1,500 USD per person, plus exam ($150).

You can attend the course without taking the exam. However, we will be offering a live exam at the end of the 2nd day.

There will also be the option to take the exam later electronically, if you desire. However, we need to know your preference 2 weeks in advance.

This class will be streamed live, so if you want to attend virtually, that is possible. There is a $100 discount for virtual attendees. Virtual attendees in the USA will receive a course notebook in advance of the training and will also have access to the e-learning course at no extra cost.

For teams of 3 or more, there is a 10% discount of the course registration fee. The exams are not discounted.

We will not have breakfast items, however, we will have a light lunch (pizza, sandwiches, etc.) brought in each day. Please let us know if you have any dietary needs or requests.

Important Notice for Those Who Plan to Travel to DFW to Attend

Please do not book any non-refundable travel (air fare, hotel, etc.) until we confirm the class. We make every attempt to not cancel a class, but sometimes this is unavoidable. We make the call about 2 - 3 weeks in advance of the class, or earlier, if possible.

We located this class to be close to the DFW airport for the convenience of those who may be traveling in for the class. The hotel runs a free airport shuttle.

You are responsible for making your own hotel reservations.

If you plan to take the exam on Day 2, the exam will take place from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.  Please allow adequate time to catch your flight. The hotel is 6.4 miles from the DFW airport.
