Free Course Resits

At TSG Training, we want to give every delegate the best chance of success. That’s why we offer free course resits on all ISTQB courses.

If a delegate is unsuccessful in their exam, they are entitled to rejoin the same course once, free of charge, provided it takes place within 6 months of their original course date.

Please note: while the course resit is free, delegates will need to pay the exam fee again when re-sitting their exam

Pass Protect - save £166 on your exam resit

Save £160!

Pass Protect, offered by TSG Training, is a valuable option for those concerned about the possibility of not passing their exam on the first attempt.

 

It acts like an insurance policy, allowing you to resit your exam at a significantly reduced rate.

 

Pass Protect covers one resit per exam purchased, so you don’t have to worry about the cost of an additional attempt if you don’t pass initially.

 

In summary, by adding the Pass Protect to your order, you save £160 upfront, but keep in mind that it’s only available for resits if you purchase it when you first register for your exam.
