This is an ISTQB course for the CT-SEC (Certified Tester Security Tester) certification.
This is not a read-out of the syllabus as is the case in many other courses as I do not see that as a proper course. The information from the syllabus is used in this course, mentioned, explained and wherever necessary examples are given in native-level English. Each chapter contains a quiz at the end which contains actual exam questions in order for you to get used to the way questions are asked on the exam. In each chapter we will also solve several questions together to get you used to the way questions are asked in the ISTQB Exam. This is an important part as both the questions and answers are sometimes formulated to throw you off.
This course has been written to help software testers to make their entrance into the field of security testing. Security testing contains many topics, each of which can be seen as a fulltime job. This course will give you information on security testing in general, the areas within security testing and after finishing the course you will have a much clearer picture on where you want to focus on. The entire syllabus is covered and some extra bonus material is also included. All terminology matches the terminology used in the online ISTQB glossary.
Besides getting you ready for the ISTQB-CT-SEC exam with the course, sample exams and tips and tricks, I would really like to teach you about security testing; things that you can use in your day-to-day work.
At this stage, in March 2024, there is no course on ISTQB Security Testing on Udemy. I would like you to be aware of certain things:
1. No false promises about you being a great security tester after you finish this course; however, this course is a very good starting point for you to get into the field of security testing. ISTQB is fairly theoretical and I am trying everything to make it as interesting and constructive as possible;
2. You will learn the basics and should be able to pass the exam without problems in the first go (if you pay attention of course);
3. Besides getting ready for the exam and most likely passing it on your first attempt, you will get a solid understanding of security testing fundamentals.
4. There are quite a lot of questions included in the course that will help you greatly; sample questions are also constantly added;
5. We will go through questions, examples and exercises together in each chapter;
If you have any questions or remarks during the course, please post it on the discussion board and I will answer as fast as possible.

I am the owner and managing director of ProTest Solutions, based in Zagreb, Croatia. At ProTest we test software with our sister company Ključ Savjetovanje ('Key Consultancy') and provide training to (aspiring) software testers. The accredited ISTQB course has helped more than 25000 people get into the field of Software Testing.
Since 2018, ProTest Solutions is an accredited training provider for the CTFL 2018 course and our sister Ključ Savjetovanje has become an ISTQB Gold Partner. The courses I provide on Udemy are all officially accredited courses, which is quite rare on online learning platforms.
I have about 15 years of experience in the software industry in various roles. Most actual roles are Release Manager and Test Leader of an independent testing company that tests software in the aviation industry.
Since the start of my career in software development, I have become very passionate about Software Quality Assurance and testing and love working with top teams towards achieving common goals. Projects that succeed are fantastic, but seeing projects that fail are even better for learning and improving.
Successful software can only be built by listening to the customer and talking with the customer. By doing just that, I have become very customer oriented with strong skills in Analysis, Risk Management and the implementation and execution of effective and efficient Test Management.
Through the years I have trained a lot of people on Software Testing which has resulted in enhanced knowledge of employees and peers in a variety of industries.
The materials I have prepared will help you in preparing for the certification and enhance your knowledge in the software testing area.
