There are things during your studies that make students' hearts beat faster - no, for once we're not talking about pizza for lunch, but first-class further education that is also completely free of charge. Together with OTH Amberg-Weiden, sepp.med, a specialist in agile software development and quality assurance, has put together an exciting block event that not only offers know-how, but also valuable ECTS points and industry certificates.

Certified Tester and Security Essentials: one module - double the added value

OTH Amberg-Weiden, in partnership with sepp.med, offered its students a comprehensive insight into the world of software testing and cybersecurity in September 2023. Embedded in the compulsory elective module "Certified Tester and Security Essentials (CTSE)", two popular training courses from the sepp.med Academy were launched: the ISTQB® Certified Tester - Foundation Level (CTFL) and the A4Q Security Essentials. Under the direction of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christoph P. Neumann, module leader at the OTH Amberg-Weiden, and with the technical expertise of sepp.med instructors Torsten Herbert and Dr. Ulrich Bieberich, learning was not only effective but also entertaining.

What did the students get? Here are the highlights:

  • Free practical knowledge
    Without paying a single cent, students were able to acquire specialist knowledge worth several thousand euros.
  • Academic credits
    Successful participation in the module and the subsequent examination at the OTH Amberg-Weiden enabled the participating students to acquire five ECTS credits - a meaningful integration of further vocational training into the academic framework.
  • Career boost through industry-recognized certificates
    The "ISTQB® Certified Tester - Foundation Level" and "A4Q® Security Essentials" certificates are highly regarded in the software industry. Anyone who wants to get off to a flying start after their studies has a real joker in their hand here. The plus for participants in the elective module: Those who wanted to take the optional exam only paid half the normal exam fee.

Special thanks for the organization and implementation of this great project go to Prof. Dr.- Ing.Christoph P. Neumann from OTH Amberg-Weiden, to the two speakers Torsten Herbert and Ulrich Bieberich and to Stephanie Kaiser from the sepp.med Academy.
