TrueAbility, the hub for validating employability for the future workforce, and Prometric®, a global leader providing end-to-end assessment services, have formed an integration partnership to provide performance-based exams to leading credentialing and licensure organizations, academic institutions and government agencies around the world. The partnership leverages unparalleled technological capabilities to create enhanced value for current and prospective customers worldwide.
“Prometric recognizes the significant value that the TrueAbility solution offers the performance-based assessment market,” said Prometric Chief Client Officer, Sean Burke. “Integration of the TrueAbility platform into the Prometric Assessment System enables IT certification and other test sponsors to greatly expand secure, reliable access to their testing programs through in-center and remote assessment delivery.”
TrueAbility’s performance-based platform gives customers a high-fidelity means to verify and measure a person’s proficiency level in digital skills through demonstration in a real work environment as proof and validation of knowledge and ability. The integration with Prometric gives test sponsors the added flexibility to create exams in multiple assessment formats including performance-based with multiple-choice questions (MCQ), furthering the enhancement of the testing experience.
“Accelerated by recent events, companies are embracing a ‘remote first’ workforce,” said Frederick Mendler, CEO, TrueAbility. “Without traditional in-person interviews to confirm employability skills, companies must rely on objective assessments such as certifications. With Prometric, we are able to expand our global footprint to reach enterprise organizations who need an accurate and cost-effective way to verify software and technology skills like they’ve never been able to do before. This partnership validates the value of hands-on assessments, and together we look forward to continuing to increase the value of certification.”
