How to add your details to the Successful Candidate Register (SCR)
ISTQB® have implemented a fully searchable Successful Candidate Register.
You can search the register to verify a certificate. Certificate holders meeting the search criteria will be listed with an anonymised certificate number, meaning some digits are replaced by ***. This feature allows UKITB and ISTQB® to protect the certificate number from being misused but gives enough information to verify a certificate number that an individual has provided.
Inclusion in the register is voluntary so not all certificate holders will be included. The register is updated regularly but please allow some time for your details to appear – if you have any concerns please contact your certificate issuer.
Individuals holding an ISTQB® certification before the launch of the Successful Candidate Register may not yet be listed, please contact the Exam Provider, either BCS or iSQI who issued your certificate for information on how to be added (note: terms and conditions may vary by exam provider).
If you would like to withdraw or amend your information from the register please contact the Exam Provider, either BCS or iSQI who issued your certificate.

CTEL Test Management & CTEL Improving the Test Process
The UK and Ireland Testing Board partner with a number of training providers to provide English certifications to the UK Market.
In the UK the demand for the Expert training and exams has not been high. Our training providers have decided not to develop the courses as they are expensive courses to develop until or unless the demand increases. There are training providers who do conduct the training in English, please search https://www.istqb.org/istqb-where-you-are/find-a-training-provider.html for their details.
Friend of UKSTAR 2018
The UK and Ireland Testing Board are really proud to a friend of the 2nd UKSTAR conference in March 2018.
UKSTAR is still a new conference, this is only 2nd year. A two-day software testing conference aimed at UK-based testing professionals. Two-days on your doorstep means less time away from your projects – but enough to harness new ideas and approaches to help make those projects successful.
Testing is now a continuous feature of mainstream development processes. So too, the need for improvement, training and keeping abreast of the latest trends are continuous – the frequency of the gathering of testing’s best minds is more important than ever before.
UKSTAR offers 2-days of introspection and forward-thinking for software professionals who have worked tirelessly to bring testing to the fore and to renew the determination and passion to advance the role of testing in the years ahead.
This conference is open to all software professionals - particularly those with a passion for software testing - regardless of your approach to testing, your chosen school of thought, your affiliations or accreditation. If you are passionate about testing and interested in how it evolves, you should come to this conference. If you have ideas on how testing should evolve - or have experiences that others should hear about then you should come along and talk to your fellow like-minded professionals.
More details coming soon.......
