Certified System Tester Exam Study Course

Now more than ever, it is important to maintain your marketability.  Professional certification in the area of quality assurance and testing can be just the thing to separate you from others in your field.  The board at KCQAA is working hard to provide opportunities for all members of our organization to improve their skill set.  Towards this end KCQAA is hosting a prep course that is designed to help members pass the CSTE examiniation as well as provide foundational knowledge in software testing.  The board has voted to substantially lower the price of the course to allow as many members as possible to attend.

In order to sign up, please use the PayPal links provided in the left content pane below.
