How can my company become Partner of ISTQB®?

The process to follow is described in How to become a Partner and is managed by the Member Board or Exam Provider. During the process, the company may decide to interrupt it at any time, but if it has already payed the registration fee it will not be refunded.

If a company wants to become a Global Partner, it has to provide the information concerning all the sites that are already partner with a 2 Gold and 1 Platinum partnerships, in two different countries.

How long is the Partnership?

The Partnership has an annual validity: after the first year expiration, companies can apply for renewing their partnership for an additional year, and will receive a Loyalty Discount of 30% on the fees. 

How can my company renew the partnership?

The process to follow for the renewal is the same of the first application, also for the renewal of Global Partnership. For more information, see How to renew your partnership.

Can my company change the Partnership level?

If a company wants to upgrade its level, it can request it before the periods of validity ends: the process is the same, but under the condition that the company shall be eligible for that period. In that case, it pay the difference between tarhe previous fee and the one - year period starts again.

If a company wants to upgrade at the renewal, the process is the same and the eligibility will evaluate the request.
