Along with the ISTQB syllabus, I took some uDemy courses from Tarek Roshdy to supplement my learning and help me pass the ISTQB. I also took the RSTA course and found a lot of value from the resources of James Bach! You can actually reach out to him and schedule a call to talk about anything software testing related. He’s very approachable and genuinely wants to help, you just have to know what you want. Software Testing Mentor on YouTube has also been a helpful resource!
This thread is an absolute goldmine of content 
can we collate this anywhere?
I regularly revisit content from TMAP…
TMAP is Sogeti’s body of knowledge for quality engineering and testing in IT delivery and builds on practical experience from thousands of people since 1995, keeping up with changing businesses and technology - The building blocks of TMAP give you all the guidance you need to meet the testing and quality challenges in your specific information technology environment.

Great idea, @becky.stirk. There’s definitely a good opportunity to provide a list off the back of this topic thread. Perhaps we could create an editable wiki page. Easy to maintain and anyone can keep them up to date.
Here are some wiki’s we’ve got going on already:
Test Management & Leadership Wiki
An online resource that helps me right now in my career as a community professional is Rosieland, by Ministry of Testing founder @rosie. It’s a treasure trove of helpful information for anyone who wants to level up their community skills. As part of it, there’s a brilliant forum called The Village.
Getting a little meta, The Club (this here site ) has always helped me with my career and prior to its current incarnation, The Software Testing Club. I enjoy soaking up what’s going on in the world of testing and what people are interested in. I get inspired by that and it helps me think about how to help folks and how we can help each other.

I don’t have very many but I have found a couple of decent ones:
-Test Automation University
-GitHub
The ministry of Testing is my preferred site to get any information nowadays, everyone is so friendly and communicative which is so useful these days!
My second favourite spot is the ISTQB syllabus as it has taught many of the fundamentals of testing in one go! Just make sure you apply the knowledge in your day to day work!

Instead of sharing websites, I’d like to share humans, if that’s alright. These are folks who I’ve met in person or virtually, and they have just been beyond helpful and so knowledgeable, whether they are posting content, hosting sessions at conferences, or just sharing what they know from day to day.
I’ll use their LinkedIn links, and you can pick whichever of their social media accounts that you prefer to follow them as suits you. These are just a few folks off the top of my head who are active right now, but there are so many around our testing communities who are worth checking out.

Hard to pick resources now,
I can’t find the link now, but there is a video of having adhd, depression & anxiety can make your testing strategy better, I will link the video once I find it. It makes me feel like I am not alone and and also help me to use my insecurity to be beneficial for my wok.
Also there is an article that observability can be better than testing itself
