Gained ISEB Foundation Certificate in Software Testing

Posted: 26th September 2007

I finally went on that elusive training course between the 17th and 19th of this month and I have just received today my certificate saying I've passed! I managed to achieve 36 out of 40 (90%) which is possibly my highest official score ever!

The testing does not end now however (pardon the pun) - I have booked my Java certification exam for 16 November and I am quite scared of it. Rumour has it that it is not that easy to pass and after reading the first chapter it is quite apparent how detailed they are. I know the language well enough to use it but to a level this detailed is really something else. I suppose its like a driving test - you are forever checking all known mathematical angles during the test but in practice its usually just a quick glance over to whatever REALLY needs looking at.

Either way - I'm happy and I'm going to celebrate quietly!
