In 2025, students at OTH Amberg-Weiden will once again have the opportunity to gain practical knowledge on the topics of software testing and cybersecurity – free of charge and with five ECTS credits as a reward (after passing the module exam at OTH Amberg-Weiden).
For the bachelor's degree programs in Media Informatics (from MI-4), Industry 4.0 Informatics (from II-4), Geoinformatics (from GI-4), Artificial Intelligence (from AI-4), and Artificial Intelligence – International (from IK-5), we are offering the elective module “Certified Tester and Security Essentials” as a block course in collaboration with Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christoph P. Neumann, module coordinator at OTH Amberg-Weiden, we offer the elective module “Certified Tester and Security Essentials” as a block course. It includes two of the most popular training courses offered by our sepp.med Academy: ISTQB® Certified Tester – Foundation Level (CTFL) and A4Q Security Essentials.
On a total of six days in September 2025, experienced instructors from sepp.med will impart practical knowledge in the fields of software testing and cybersecurity according to certified curricula that guarantee the highest standards and practical relevance. Participants in the elective module will receive this training content, worth a total of €2,903 (including VAT), completely free of charge.
Participation in the elective course not only earns students five ECTS credits (after passing the module exam at OTH Amberg-Weiden), but also allows them to take the certificate exams associated with the training courses. The “ISTQB® Certified Tester – Foundation Level” and “A4Q® Security Essentials” certificates are recognized throughout the industry and are a boost when applying for your dream job after graduation.
The exams for obtaining the industry-recognized certificates “ISTQB® Certified Tester – Foundation Level” and “A4Q® Security Essentials” are optional. Participants in the elective module who decide to take the certification exams pay only half of the normal exam fee of €255.85 (including VAT) each.
The content of the elective module CTSE comprises two sought-after training courses in the software industry. Certified curricula and standardized learning materials guarantee maximum practical relevance. Instead of paying €2,903 (including VAT), students at OTH Amberg-Weiden pay nothing.
Instead of acquiring the specialist knowledge from the two training courses alongside your studies, the training content is directly relevant to the exam in the form of an elective module and therefore earns you credits. Two birds—or rather bugs, since we're talking about software testing ;-)—with one stone!
The exams to obtain the “ISTQB® Certified Tester – Foundation Level” and “A4Q® Security Essentials” certificates are optional, but definitely beneficial for your future career.
Participants in the elective module who decide to take the certification exams pay only half the exam fee. Stephanie Kaiser from the sepp.med Academy will be happy to answer any questions about the certification exams.
