Advanced Software Programming & Testing Post Diploma Certificate

The Advanced Software Programming & Testing Post Diploma Certificate develops advanced skills to test software professionally, aligned with testing techniques recognized by the International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB). The one-year, two-term program covers web programming, advanced database design using SQL, and big-data analysis, alongside manual and automated software testing. Students apply these skills through laboratory-based experiments combining manual and automated testing tools, and complete the program through a work-integrated learning placement or an advanced professional integration project. The program is intended for students who already hold a post-secondary diploma in a related field. Graduates are prepared for roles such as Software Tester, Software Developer, Web Designer and Developer, Database Administrator, or IT Support Consultant. The program is offered at Keyano College's Clearwater Campus in Fort McMurray, Alberta.
