A4Q Certified Selenium Tester Foundation

Selenium is an Open Source Tool for automating web browser/web application testing. Many organisations use proprietary tools from tools vendors that are integrated with Selenium so Selenium skills are very useful.

The A4Q Selenium Tester Foundation certification is based on a practical training course aimed at test professionals who desire an understanding of how to design, implement and maintain automated solutions using Selenium WebDriver.

NOTE: The previous version A4Q Certified Selenium Tester Foundation certification considers Selenium 3. The exam of this certification will be available until 11th April, 2024 and can be directly booked here (syllabi and mock exams are available for both certification versions to download).

How do I obtain this certification?

To be certified you must pass the A4Q Selenium Tester Foundation certification exam. We recommend that you attend a training course with an accredited A4Q Selenium Tester Foundation course training provider; participants will have relevant content and topics clearly explained and taught to them with a high level of hands-on practical learning. For those wishing to self-study and apply for direct entry to the exam please refer to the syllabus. The detailed syllabus covers factors to consider when deciding to automate testing as well as specific techniques for navigation, interacting with GUI elements, logging, reporting, and more.

What are the entry requirements?

Candidates should have basic programming knowledge in Java with Maven or basic programming knowledge in Python.

Who is is this certification for?

This certification is for anyone who wants to develop and attest to their skills in using Selenium test automation solutions. The A4Q Certified Selenium 4 Tester Foundation is for those who are working with Selenium 4 (the previous syllabus A4Q Certified Selenium Tester Foundation is for anyone working with Selenium 3). This course is ideal for anyone who wants to learn automation using the Selenium WebDriver toolset. While this course is accessible to anyone wanting to acquire a basic, hands-on knowledge of Selenium, the main audiences are:

People with no test automation experience who are starting to automate in Selenium (or who want to get a job doing that)
People with some GUI test automation experience who are new to Selenium or starting to automate in Selenium (or who want to get a job doing that)
People with some non-GUI test automation experience who are new to Selenium and starting to automate in Selenium (or who want to get a job doing that)
