Also for Advanced Level you should have 24 months of testing experience along with the Foundation Level Certification.

Advanced Level has three sub levels

a. Technical Tester
b. Functional Tester
c. Test Manager

The Syllabus is same for all these levels.

Ganesan

Study from book "Foundations of Software Testing" by Dorothy Graham, Erik Van Veenendaal, Isabel Evans, Rex Black. It's a very good book and I have cleared ISTQB Certification Foundation Level Exam by reading this book. Also refer to some question papers present on ISTQB site. All the best for your exam!!!!
