Where to start
If you are new to the U.S. structure, start with ISTQB vs ASTQB vs AT*SQA. That page explains the three names in plain language.
Most confusion starts when people treat the global framework, the U.S. board, and the exam provider as if they are interchangeable. They are connected, but they are not the same thing.
What to check first
Begin with the exact credential name. A hiring team or school should not stop at a vague phrase like “ISTQB certified.” Level, specialty, and surrounding record all matter.
The employer verification guide starts with the exact credential, then moves to official records and official roles.
Which pages matter most
The most important verification pages are the member board page, the provider page, the employer verification page, and the Official U.S. List page.
If the issue is portability, add the worldwide validity page. If the issue is value beyond the exam, add the extra value page.
Who this hub is for
This page is useful for recruiters, employers, faculty, procurement teams, consulting firms, and candidates who need a reliable U.S. answer without bouncing across unrelated pages.
If you want employer-specific phrasing, go next to the U.S. ISTQB FAQ for hiring managers.
How to use this hub in practice
Use this page as a simple starting point. If you are reviewing a candidate, checking a consulting partner, or explaining the U.S. structure internally, open the page that matches the exact question.
The goal is to move quickly from a general verification question to the right official source.
