The Foundation Level Certificate exam will be based on this syllabus. Answers to exam questions may require the use of material based on more than one section of this syllabus. All sections of the syllabus are examinable, except for the Introduction and Appendices. Standards, books, and other ISTQB syllabi are included as references, but their content is not examinable, beyond what is summarized in this syllabus itself from such standards, books, and other ISTQB syllabi. The format of the exam is multiple choice.

There are 40 questions.
To pass the exam, at least 65% of the questions (i.e., 26 questions) must be answered correctly.
Exams may be taken as part of an accredited training course or taken independently (e.g., at an exam center or in a public exam).
Completion of an accredited training course is not a pre-requisite for the exam.

There are no specific requirements or required pre-certifications. Programming knowledge is an advantage.
