ISTQB - Certified Artificial Intelligence (AI) Tester, certification

ISTQB ® Certification (CT-AI) (CTFL)


New course

This training course provides you with the key skills needed to validate artificial intelligence systems. You'll learn how to test Machine Learning models, manage bias, transparency and ethics. You'll know how to design and run tests adapted to AI: neural networks, autonomous systems, A/B or metamorphic tests. You'll also discover how to use AI for defect analysis and test case generation. The final exam validates your expertise in AI system testing.
INFORMATION
PLEASE NOTE: from 03/01/2026, the certification exam will no longer be held at the end of the session, but remotely and off-line, on the date of your choice (voucher valid for 1 year).

Teaching objectives
At the end of the training, the participant will be able to:
Comprendre les tendances de l’IA, ses applications concrètes et son impact sur les secteurs d’activité
Develop ML model testing skills and address challenges such as bias, transparency and ethics
Design and run AI-specific test scenarios

Intended audience
Software testers, quality assurance professionals, AI engineers and developers, product owners, project managers, quality managers, analysts, consultants and AI-related professions.

Prerequisites
ISTQB® Certified Tester Foundation certification.

Certification
L’examen de certification AI Testing (CT-AI) est inclus dans la formation et se déroule en présentiel dans nos centres de formation, en français, ou à distance si la formation a lieu en distanciel. Il a lieu le dernier jour de la formation. L’épreuve consiste en un QCM de 40 questions, d’une durée de 60 minutes. Les candidats dont la langue maternelle n’est pas le français ou en situation de handicap peuvent bénéficier d’un quart-temps supplémentaire, sous réserve d’une demande effectuée au moins 5 jours avant l’examen. Un score minimum de 65 % de bonnes réponses est requis pour obtenir la certification.
Remote certifications
See the certifier’s official documentation for the list of prerequisites for completing the online certification exam.

Super formateur : réexplique, donne beaucoup d’exemplesContenu de la formation est très dense, peu de temps pour intégrer les informations, les comprendre et les retenir.

I enjoyed the course immensely, although I would have liked to have seen concrete examples of how to use some of the points I learnt during the course. Frédéric is an excellent trainer, both in his explanations and in the time he took to help us understand complex points.

The course content is dense and interesting, but I would have liked to see more concrete examples of tests used to evaluate an AI system.
