Olorogun (Prof) Alex Akpodiete, an Urhobo born Cyber Security Expert and Forensic Guru, recently completed a 4-day International Software Testing Qualifications Board, (ISTQB)
In marking the completion of the test he said, “I am thrilled to announce the successful delivery of the 4-day ISTQB Certified AI Tester course, held virtually from August 11–14, 2025.
“We had an incredible cohort of 11 professionals, including participants:
• UK Government specialists (with expertise in smart meters and digital infrastructure)
• Consultants from Accenture (London, Manchester, Leeds, and Dublin)
Over 4 days, we explored:
✅ AI fundamentals
✅ AI & ML Testing Strategies (Adversarial, Pairwise, Back-to-Back, A/B, Metamorphic)
✅ ethical considerations including Bias detection & fairness testing in AI models
✅ Explainability methods like SHAP & LIME
✅ Hands-on exercises in exploratory testing & data analysis
✅ Practical case studies and certification prep
This was not just training, it was a strategic leap into the future of intelligent systems. I am proud to have guided this journey and to see these professionals get certified and ready to lead in AI testing.
“Together, we explored the cutting edge of AI testing — from ethics and machine learning to risk-based strategies and real-world applications.
Why it matters: AI is only as trustworthy as the quality of its testing. This course equips testers to evaluate AI systems for accuracy, fairness, and robustness — skills that are in high demand worldwide.
A big thank you to all participants for your engagement, insights, and collaborative spirit.
Together, we are building a new era of trustworthy AI!
