7. Why will GEOSTQB succeed?
   • We have at least eight universities which has a faculty of computer sciences, but only two of them
   conduct lectures regarding software testing, thus we will work closely with other six universities.
   • We are seven professionals from different organizations and we’ll use our broad connections to
   cooperate with various companies, training centers and IT communities.
   • Time after time foreign companies are opening their branches in Georgia, accordingly IT
   specialists are eager to improve their knowledge and reach the international level and surely will
   support them with our connections with different training centers to provide courses regarding
   software testing.
   • Each member of our board knows the value of the quality and it's more than important for us to
   have highly qualified, motivated and certified testers in our country, therefore we will do our best
   to increase demand for certified testers.
