Hey @candace_l is a certification something that you’re seeing companies in your area requiring?
I ask based on an older post on this forum Are software Testing Certifications worth it?
Based on my own experiences, I’d suggest exploring:
- Software Testing Essentials which has a free online course that you can take in your own time or a 3 day paid for online version. You can get a certificate of completion at the end if needed for an employer. I took this as training at a conference in its previous form.
- BBST Foundations whose content you can access freely under the creative commons licence but to get a certificate of completion, you will need to pay and participate in online training. I took this training around a full time job, it was intense but worth it to me in the end.
- Rapid Software Testing I took this training in person so I’m not sure what online versions are currently available. Again, you get a certificate of completion at the end not one of pass or failure.
