On Wednesday 11 November 2026, three Sunway University students received five MSTB certificates on stage at the university’s Industry Professional Certification Ceremony, held in JC3 Hall.
The ceremony is organised by the Faculty of Engineering and Technology with the Sunway Analytics Society. It celebrates students who earn professional certifications from industry bodies while they study. The Faculty invited MSTB, once again, to present its certificates to its recipients.
The certificates awarded were:
- ISTQB Certified Tester Foundation Level (CTFL);
- ISTQB Certified Tester AI Testing (CT-AI);
- IREB Certified Professional for Requirements Engineering, Foundation Level (CPRE-FL).
They are the same international certifications that working testers and analysts hold, and these students leave university with them already in hand.
Three certificates, one student
One of the three, Chong Jun Wei, a master’s student in AI at Sunway University, earned all three. CTFL and CPRE-FL came through his studies. CT-AI did not. He prepared for it on his own, because more and more systems now use AI and he wanted to know how to test them. Of the three, he rates it the hardest.
Asked why testing matters, he put it plainly: “No matter how well you build your software, how perfect your code is, without a proper testing you cannot show that your software is meeting the user expectation.”
His advice for a student sitting a certification for the first time is just as direct: “Try to follow the official syllabus, try to understand it and do more practice.”
MSTB thanks the Faculty of Engineering and Technology and the Sunway Analytics Society for having us, and congratulates every student who crossed that stage. Students who want to sit an ISTQB or IREB exam can write to secretariat@mstb.org.
