ProCert Labs is an international company. We have developed a quality assurance standard for courseware and curriculum products based on modern instructional design theory and exam objectives correlation. Our unique process has been in development since 1998 and has been progressively refined to establish unprecidented credibility and acceptance.

Since its official launch, ProCert Labs has attracted the attention of key certification vendors looking for third-party quality assurance. ProCert Labs has also attracted the attention of courseware vendors looking to demonstrate third-party validation of quality courseware products. Students of certification have come to respect the ProCert Labs Tested service mark as a symbol of quality and assurance. Courseware that bears the ProCert Labs Tested service mark is found to cover 100 percent of the related certification exam objectives, and demonstrates an ability to effectively teach the principles required by a specific professional certification program.

Objectivity
Measuring courseware objectively is of primary importance for ProCert Labs. The ProCert Labs testing methodology is based on a three-tier testing process beginning with a measurement of the course's correlation to published exam objectives. We also apply accepted instructional design theories to the course to determine its relevance to the published topic and its ability to present concepts in a learnable manner. Finally, ProCert Labs conducts a benchmark comparison with a standardized set of criteria to determine where the course stands in relation to a common set of elements.

Modalities
ProCert Labs provides objective and reliable quality assurance testing for every conceivable modality, including Print Video CBT, ILT, IBT, PDA and Assessment Exams in various delivery methods. A flexible Web-based testing process allows ProCert Labs to incorporate additional modalities as they become available in the marketplace.

The Right People
The ProCert Labs management team is experienced in courseware quality assurance programs and has been directly involved in developing previous incarnations of this process for leading certification vendors like Microsoft. The ProCert Labs management team uses online tools and utilities to distribute, manage and compile courseware reviews from a group of highly qualified reviewers.

The Right Tools
To deliver and manage ProCert Labs' distinctive testing methodology, we have built a comprehensive set of online tools and utilities that allow courseware vendors to monitor testing progress at any time from anywhere. Our interactive reporting provides secure, inclusive details of each confidential review including expected delivery dates and anticipated results.
