About this course
The topics covered in this qualification are those which are considered by BCS, the Chartered Institute for IT, to be essential knowledge for a practising test professional,
regardless of their specialism, for instance: Test Analysts, Test Team Leaders and Test Managers. Candidates must already hold the BCS Foundation Certificate in Software Testing.
The examination is a multiple choice examination incorporating scenario-based questions. A key aim of the examination is to provide candidates with an opportunity to think through the implications of the context of a question, rather than simply selecting from a choice of options so practical experience can be applied. The pass mark for the Intermediate Certificate exam is 60%.
