Try the audio learning products from www.universalexams.com

I think what stuart is trying to say is ...
If some one is kind enough to share what they have it will be nice of
them to share it with other wanna be practitioners (like me and
stuart).

Please if someone has got past exam papers, tip and techniques, and if
someone has attended an accredited course or has got note that they
could donate, we will both really appreciate it.

I am in a deadend job, and not getting paid enough and there is no
hope in hell that I will ever get someone paying 3k to attend a
training course and release me off work for two ws. So any help to
fellow testers would be appreciated.

Please help friends.

Universal Exams only have training products for the foundation
certificate, not the practitioner one.

I suggest you look at the syllabus at
http://www.bcs.org/NR/rdonlyres/C5F...yll.p
df
if you haven't already done that. It tells you what you need to know
to pass the exam.

Systeme Evolutif do have a self study course for the practicioner exam
that can be taken over the net or on a CD.
http://www.evolutif.co.uk/default.a...sebrochure.html

There is also a book called "The Testing Practitioner" that is
somewhat linked to the practicioner exam  but I don't know how much it
would help with the exam, because I haven't read it.

If I really thought that a course was worth 3k in respect of my
employment prospects (but as far as ISEB practitioner goes, I don't)
I'd perhaps think of making the investment myself (i.e. getting a
loan, even sticking it on a credit card if need be). Getting 2 ws
off? That'd be called holidays, I think you'll be legally entitled to
them. Presumably your current employer doesn't see the benefit of the
ISEB practitioner qualification either, so how about you start looking
for a new job and specify that you want to be placed on the course as
part of your career progression in the new job? There seems to be a
bit of a shortage of testers at the moment, it might work.

Mark.

Thanks for all your help guys! It is very much appreciated!!...Have some
friends interested in the foundation course so if anyone has any info on
that, be sure to toss it my way!...

Thanks again

Stuart....

Stu, I emailed you today mate from my other hotmail email address ...
let me know ur details and i shall send u some stuff. Some of these
guys are a total waste of space. They are responding just for the sake
of sing an acknowledgement for their sorry ass existance. Negative
individuals, who are neither willing to get certified themself and
neither they want to see some one else go down the certification road.
The only suggestion you can expect from them is "change your job". No
wonder the testing profession is in a bad state that it is in. Thanks
to 'mindless' knobs end sitting in the management seats, who care about
no one else but their own image, and bonus. When it comes to investment
in staff, or staff retention they dont have a clue, and wonder why
people have left.

I have test standards as well, and soon i will be getting my sample
exam questions which i shall glad pass on to you. I might have some
revision note on foundation also. However, the links that i passed on
to you for british standard BS7925-2, if your friends are attempting
the foundation course, they should know it well.. front to back.

I was lucky when i took my foundation exam there were very few
questions which required analysis of pseudo code to generate an answer.
This was not the case with a colleague of mine.

I have tried asking people for help online, there are very few people
who are interested.

Thanks for the suggestion mark. Not a lot of employers let you take
time off work for the sake of training. I will work hard when i can and
get this certification, or alteast try it out to see if i can hack it.
If I cant, then i will try again. 2 w holiday... ur damn right
here,,, my family is more imortant to me than work. That time i can let
go. One other reason why i can not progress as fast as i would like to
(in terms of getting certified ) is because i dedicate my time to my
family. different priorities.

Career progression?. Wtf is that?. How many companies genuinely give
you that? - Most of the companies want people pretrained ... who can
fit in...  they are in it for themself, when it comes to people.. they
dont give a flying F*&K. Managers who are too busy looking at their
SLA's, targets and deadlines, meetings, and keeping customers happy...
and the pot of mony that is allocated to them.

I am looking to move into sernior roles, team leading, test
mangement...One thing is for sure, if in the next year i cant pass it
on my own, i shall put it on a credit card (which i dont have at the
moment.)

I also agree that the market is hot at the moment and i perceive it to
stay hot for the next year or two. so plenty of time to move on.
