The faster information and communication technologies develop, the faster acquired knowledge and qualifications become obsolete. iSQI and the ASQF support the continuous development and expansion of your knowledge and skills and combine them in the QAMP®: the Quality Assurance Management Professional.

Quality assurance managers need competencies in the entire software development process for their work. In addition to a broad theoretical knowledge, practical skills and project experience of the quality manager are essential.

The QAMP® certificate certifies that the holder has a broad understanding in the software quality assurance management environment.

How do I obtain the QAMP® certification?

In order to obtain the basic QAMP® certification, you must successfully pass three certification exams from the following areas:

• Testing (mandatory ISTQB® oder ISEB® CTFL Foundation Level)
• Requirements Engineering (mandatory IREB® CPRE Foundation Level or Agile Primer)
• Specialist (e. g. Project Management, Agile Testing, Internet of Things or Software Architecture)

Recognition of equivalent certificates is possible (on request). In general equivalent certificates have to be independent of product and producer, internationally accepted, ISO 17024: 2003 compliant.

In addition, proof of at least two years of practical experience in an area of software quality assurance must be provided.

QAMP® supports lifelong learning therefore, after two years, a re-certification is required to provide evidence of knowledge and experience.

Evidence for re-certification can be provided, for example by

• another passed certification exam,
• proof of professional activity in one of the mentioned areas,
• publication of an article or collaboration on a book
• a lecture given at an international conference (such as Swiss Testing Day, Software Quality Days, ReConf, Seetest or others)
• attendance of a conference or workshop / tutorial
