New CompTIA Subsidiary Offers One-Stop Solution for Certification Development
DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Sept. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Examplify, a new wholly owned subsidiary of CompTIA Certifications LLC, today launched its services as a one-stop solution for custom exam programs.
From exam development and test delivery, to exam maintenance and ISO process guidance, Examplify is committed to providing exams of the highest quality, relevance and accuracy to corporations, government agencies, associations and certification organizations.
"Examplify is leveraging the proven exam expertise and processes of CompTIA, which has been developing industry-standard, vendor-neutral IT certifications for 20 years," said Bryan Kainrath, vice president, Examplify.
CompTIA's certification portfolio features 17 certifications and includes four ISO 17024 accredited certifications. The services provided by Examplify are rooted in a validity-centered approach to exam development as demonstrated by CompTIA, and the development process follows the best practices outlined by the professional testing community.
"Combining training with certification in your internal learning programs is an invaluable way to measure success and ROI," added Kainrath. "Testing a candidate's understanding of the critical elements within your training creates assurances that there is a base level of knowledge and a means of measurement to the learning program."
Organizations can save time, money and internal resources by hiring an outside developer, like Examplify. Developing a high-stakes credentialing exam is a complex, time-consuming and resource-consuming process. And, while organizations may have funded their learning and training operations, they may not have adequate exam development competencies and follow the best practices outlined by the professional testing community. Experienced, comprehensive understanding of the processes and outcomes during each phase of exam creation saves time and ensures greater outcomes to successful training initiatives.
Organizations wanting to develop their own custom exams and certifications can seek Examplify's help through its website, http://www.examplify.com, or by contacting Bryan Kainrath at bkainrath@examplify.com.
