FAQ: Professional Credentialing
New to the topic of workforce credentialing? We have you covered..
A certification is an independent, portable assessment of job skills that is an essential aspect of today’s workforce, providing a highly efficient way to identify qualified individuals. Given the massive changes facing secondary education systems, certification represents a future-focused avenue for someone to make themselves stand out as a quality professional. Certification testing is an important way to verify that someone has certain knowledge and qualifications.
Certifications that are built according to industry-recognized best practices are eligible to apply for accreditation, which is an independent stamp of approval that you certification is of the highest quality, something which is obviously important to your candidates! Our consultants are experts in this process. Learn more about accreditation at http://www.credentialingexcellence.org/ncca or at our blog.
A job task analysis study is a scientific, quantitative approach to evaluating the knowledge, skills, abilities, and other requirements (KSAO) needed to effectively perform in a profession. This then serves as the basis for designing what goes on the test. These studies are often used in the Human Resources world for other tasks, such as determining job descriptions or compensation.
Psychometric consulting is the necessary work to develop high-quality exams that meet international standards such as AERA/APA/NCME or NCCA. These require complex studies like Job Task Analysis, standard setting studies like the Angoff method, or machine-learning analytics like item response theory. If you don’t have a psychometrician in-house, you will need to hire consultants. Our team will work to understand your requirements, which can differ based on the type of exam, and recommend a cost-effective plan to achieve your goals
Remote proctoring is a way to ensure the validity and integrity of your test without forcing examinees to drive to a physical testing center. There is actually a range of options pertaining to levels of security, from low-security exams that just record video with AI flagging to high-security exams where the computer is locked down and there are two video streams watched by a live person in real time. ASC partners with a number of providers to tailor a solution to your needs and budget.
Depends what you need. If you already have your exam built and just need to publish it on our platform for delivery, that’s easy. If you still need a job task analysis, Angoff study, and other things mentioned above, that is months of work before you can think about publishing. And that doesn’t include all the non-exam work you are facing, such as developing educational material, candidate handbook, certificates, policies, and so on.
