About ISTQB and the certified tester scheme
Brad Tyldesley | Software Engineer | Capgemini –
Course has been great – a lot of information split in to easily digestible chunks. Ran very smoothly and there was a lot of support available on demand throughout.
My only criticism would be that it felt like there were huge pieces of information between each ask-back on that content, it could be better to add questions in to the actual content itself throughout to help keep engagement and solidify understanding.

The course was good. For me, I would have liked more group exercises and more encouragement for all people to talk/join in. The pace was good, although it is a lot to take in as a new tester
