"The level of interest in this new certification has been overwhelming. We are seeing a significant volume of requests from individuals who see career value in having Selenium knowledge. Also, importantly, from organizations seeking to develop their team skills in test automation with WebDriver. Training providers appreciate the added-value to their customers of a highly practical course and, indeed, certification exams delivered to the highest standard."
(Stephan Goericke, CEO @ iSQI Group)

Both the course materials and the exam are available from iSQI in three languages: English, Spanish and German. iSQI has seen a strong increase in the number of A4Q Selenium Tester exams over the last year.
We see a growth rate of approximately 20% every 2 to 3 months in Selenium Certification. Exams have been taken in 18 countries around the world including in Europe, the USA, Chile, Brazil, Costa Rica, Russia, Guatemala, India, Macedonia, Morocco, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates. Over 70% of candidates take the exam electronically, there is a clear trend towards on-line exams.
Selenium WebDriver is a free framework for automating web applications and software testing. With this tool the tester can record interactions with a web application and automatically repeat them later at will. This function saves time, costs and risk making Selenium a leading tool globally. Many organizations use proprietary tools from vendors that rely on Selenium or have Selenium integrated. For these companies, professionals with Selenium Webdriver knowledge are not only useful, but necessary.
The Alliance4Qualification (A4Q) is the official licensor for the Selenium Tester Scheme.
