CT-GenAI training · Self-paced

Take the next step in your testing career.

Prepare for the ISTQB CT-GenAI exam and build practical skills in using generative AI for software testing. Learn to create and review test cases, recognize unreliable answers and contribute to your team’s use of AI.

Follow one application through the course. Work with a fictional booking app’s user stories, wireframes, test cases and reports.
See the prompt, the answer and the tester’s review. Actual model runs include failed and unexpected results, so you see how problems are found and corrected.
Try it yourself, then compare. Complete 18 exercises and use worked solutions to check your reasoning and see what needs to change.

Prepare at your own pace with 58 video lessons, chapter flashcards and sample exams.

From AI basics to practical testing skills.

Build your skills through 15 core course chapters, organized into five connected stages. Prepare for CT-GenAI while practicing how to use and check AI in your test work.
