The need for assuring knowledge is increasing in most industries, as is the need for individuals to prove their knowledge using certificates. This is driving an increased demand for credible certifications across the globe. How can the new demands on capacity, security and efficiency in certifications be managed?

Using traditional methods of paper based or offline computer based testing, the burden of administration, distribution, marking and reporting is drastically limiting the prospects of many certification programmes.

In addition, demands on reducing overall training costs and lead time are presenting certification operators with new issues beyond the traditional boundaries of certifications and examinations. Further, requirements on fairness and quality are gradually increasing the demands for professionally developed and psychometrically validated tests for all certifications, to secure legal defensibility and credibility of certifications.
