Sogeti UK Announces the its 2014 Software Testing Training Schedule

London, UK, 13th February 2014 - Sogeti UK, a leading provider of training and professional technology services, specialising in Application, Infrastructure and Engineering Services, today announced the launch of its extensive training schedule for 2014. The schedule allows Sogeti to build on its reputation of providing increasingly comprehensive training and professional qualifications to individuals involved in testing.

According to a recent Sogeti survey conducted at TestExpo 2013, 92% of delegates agreed that the cost and complexity of software testing is on the increase. In order to keep pace with this rapidly evolving complexity and overcome rising costs, the leading test professionals questioned said that their highest priority was to train their existing test and QA teams (61%) – highlighting the value of testing courses and certifications as provided by Sogeti.

Sogeti’s latest training schedule comprises a refreshing mixture of both existing and new courses; this year its programme of well-recognised practical and BCS/ISEB and ISTQB Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced offerings is complemented by an increased variety of agile-focused one-day workshops and accredited training courses.
The new agile training sessions will be delivered in conjunction with specialist events and training company, UNICOM, with whom Sogeti partnered to co-host its annual TestExpo event last year, amongst other joint activities.

Peter Edmond, Head of Training and Development at Sogeti UK, said: “We want to ensure that both our customers and consultants, as well as other Software Testing and QA professionals, have the right knowledge and skills in place to not only deliver their current testing projects successfully - but also to boost innovation and transformation within the testing industry. Refreshing the courses that we offer allows us stay ahead of trends and ensure that testers are fully prepared to deliver high quality to the business its customers and in this ever more consumer-focused world.”

The majority of Sogeti’s courses are accredited by the three main testing certification authorities, BCS Institute (formally known as ISEB), ISTQB and iSQI, with success rates well above the international average. They are available onsite, or offsite, and we can create a tailored programme of courses to suit customer training requirements.
