ASTQB’s explanation of how AT*SQA delivers ISTQB exams globally.

How AT*SQA delivers exams globally

AT*SQA offers exams online at home or at Kryterion testing centers in your country, and the ISTQB certification is valid globally.

Buy → Schedule: purchase an exam voucher, then choose a date/time for online or testing-center delivery.
Same process worldwide: country pages provide local guidance where testing centers are available.
Benefits travel with you: the extra benefits are tied to your AT*SQA purchase of your ISTQB exam, not to your physical location. Benefits such as being added to the Official U.S. List, a free micro-credential exam, being included in AT*Work or AT*Consult are all available globally.

Why the extra benefits matter outside the U.S.

Even if you never plan to work in the United States, the bundled benefits can still help you:

Demonstrate additional skills: the free micro-credential exam can help you show specialty knowledge beyond a single ISTQB syllabus.
Make your credentials easier to verify: after you pass, you may opt in through your AT*SQA account to appear on the Official U.S. List and the ISTQB Successful Candidate Register, which can help employers verify your credentials and prove your proficiency in American English.
