The Foundation Level exam is $229 USD through AT*SQA. All exam prices are shown in USD. At checkout, Stripe Adaptive Pricing may show a euro payment option before you confirm the purchase.
After purchase, you have up to 365 days to schedule and take the exam. That gives you room to buy the voucher now, study at a steady pace, and book the date only when you are ready.
Your purchase also includes one free AT*Micro™ exam. That is useful if you want a second proof point in an area such as AI for Testers, API Testing, or Test Automation.
Germany has one of the widest Kryterion networks of any country on this list, with confirmed centers spanning major states from Hamburg in the north to Munich in the south. Berlin, Frankfurt, Leipzig, and Cologne give candidates more in-person options than a single-city market would.
Online testing is still the simplest path for many people. You need a webcam, a stable internet connection, and a quiet room. The test-center option is best if you prefer a formal testing room or want to avoid home setup concerns.
| City | Area or Center | Address |
|---|---|---|
| Berlin | Berlin | Stresemannstrasse 78, 10963 |
| Hamburg | Hamburg | Holstenstrasse 205, 22765 |
| Munich | Bavaria | Arnulfstrasse 25, 80335 |
| Frankfurt | Hesse | Berner Strasse 51, 60437 |
| Leipzig | Saxony | Gerichtsweg 28, 04103 |
| Cologne | North Rhine-Westphalia | Koelner Strasse 265, 51149 |

Germany has a large software engineering economy across automotive, industrial systems, finance, insurance, and enterprise software. In those settings, testing is treated as a real engineering discipline. A standard credential helps hiring teams understand your skills quickly.
ISTQB Foundation Level gives you shared testing language for cross-border work. A tester in Munich working on automotive software and a tester in Frankfurt working on banking systems can point to the same credential and the same baseline knowledge.
AT*SQA also gives career visibility through Testing Tiers®, AT*Work™, and the Official U.S. List of Certified & Credentialed Software Testers™ when eligible. Those extras help make one exam purchase work harder for your resume.
Foundation Level is the starting point. Once you pass it, more ISTQB certifications open up through AT*SQA. All prices below are in USD.
