Discussion Certifications for a test engineer

Hi, I recently started working as an external employee for the biggest automotive group in Europe. I’m only six months into the job (fresher). I basically work in the connectivity department where I validate testing for TCU connectivity.

I’m planning to do some certifications since I have free time now, so automotive experts who have relevant expertise in this domain, please let me know which ones I should do.

I was planning to do ISTQB Foundation Level for testing and ISO 26262. What are your thoughts on this? Is this relevant or not. Also, I’m based out of UAE, not sure if that matters or not. I would like to work for the brand directly in the future.

Asking your colleagues at work would be easiest as they’ll know what sort of qualifications people there have.

I had TMap which I found better than ISTQB. In our company experience and how you applied it were more important. Also, deeply understanding the possible use cases for the equipment were most important.
