CT-AI training · Self-paced

Build the skills to put AI systems to the test.

Prepare for the ISTQB CT-AI v2.0 exam and learn how to evaluate AI systems in practice. Find problems in data, measure model performance and test how an AI system behaves before and after release.

  • Follow one system from data to deployment. Join the testing team at a fictional lender. Explore its income-check model, loan pre-screen and AI assistant as the case develops through the course.
  • See what the results really mean. Work through saved demonstrations, inspect errors and connect the findings to decisions a tester needs to make.
  • Practise, then check your reasoning. Complete 9 hands-on labs with worked solutions, covering model evaluation, data quality, red teaming and more.

Study at your own pace with 65 video lessons across all 7 syllabus chapters, plus lesson checks and chapter flashcards.

From AI fundamentals to testing a release.

Follow all seven CT-AI syllabus chapters through five connected stages. Build your understanding step by step as the fictional lender develops, tests and releases its AI system.

Prepare for the CT-AI exam

Study the v2.0 syllabus, review chapter flashcards and revisit lesson checks. Practise with worked examples and build up to applying the techniques yourself.

Develop skills for your testing work

Evaluate model results, test data quality, investigate AI risks and explain what the evidence means for a release decision.

Follow the example → Try the task → Compare with a worked solution.
The same lending case connects the concepts, demonstrations and practice throughout the course.

Start Here, revision resources and course completion accompany the seven syllabus chapters. Course completion and ISTQB certification are separate; certification requires passing the exam.
