QAMP® (Quality Assurance Management Professional)

The QAMP® certificate demonstrates a broad understanding of software quality assurance management. It is directed at quality assurance managers, because they require competence in the entire development process.

In addition to a broad theoretical knowledge – which needs to be demonstrated by three successfully passed certification examinations – it attests the practical knowledge and project experience of the certified employee. Upon completion of all three certificates and proof of the practical experience, the participant will be certified as ASQF´s QAMP® (Quality Assurance Management Professional). Theoretical and practical knowledge both have to be updated biennial.

Since its introduction in 2008 QAMP® certifications were realized in over 20 countries worldwide. Global players like HP, Siemens, Samsung, IBM, Philips, T-Systems, SQS and Logica already are QAMP® customers.

As a token of appreciation for ASQF´s contribution to fight the shortage of skilled personnel in the sector of information and communication technology, the QAMP® certificate was awarded the special prize of Brandenburg´s Minister of Economic Affairs at the CEBIT conference.
