Each exam contains a pre-defined number of questions, aimed at verifying the acquired professional knowledge of the candidate on the topics covered by the Learning Objectives for the relevant Foundation, Advanced or Expert syllabus. All Learning Objectives in the relevant syllabus are examinable. Answers to examination questions may require the use of material from more than one section of the syllabus.

The Advanced level exam questions may require the knowledge of the Foundation syllabus. The Expert level exam questions may require the knowledge of the Foundation syllabus and of the Advanced syllabus that has been defined as pre-requisite.

The Foundation Level exam comprises 40 multiple-choice questions, with a scoring of 1 point for each correct answer, a pass mark of at least 65% (26 or more points) and a duration of 60 minutes (or 75 minutes for candidates taking exams that are not in their native language).

The breakdown of the exam questions is done according to international guidelines and exam content reviews are periodically conducted to ensure consistency.

The Foundation Level exam (CTFL) has no pre-requisites. Sufficient Preparation on the syllabus topics (obtained either through attending a course provided by an accredited Training Provider, from professional experience, and/or through self-study) is recommended. To take the Advanced Level exams, the Foundation exam must have been successfully passed.

The possession of the Foundation Level Certificate may have to be proved. ISTQB® also recommends practical experience before taking this exam. In addition, sufficient experience is required, so a JOSTQB representative may call you for a quick evaluation. The required experience is usually three years, but it depends on each exam.

Foundation Level and Advanced Level (ISTQB®) certificates are valid for life. Expert level certificates expire after 7 years of obtaining them.
