IC³ offers certification candidates the opportunity to learn and demonstrate computer and Internet literacy through a worldwide industry standard that accurately validates skills and productivity in the workplace.

“We are proud to be selected as Certiport’s partner in their initiative to identify quality IC³ training to a growing number of trainers and certification candidates around the world.” said Cary Snowden, president of ProCert Labs. “Our consistent and reliable content reviews will help instructors successfully identify appropriate training products for the IC³ certification. This initiative is good for students who have a high expectation of the quality this program has to offer.”

The IC³ Approved Courseware program is a quality review initiative for IT training material that uses quality standards set by Certiport and ProCert Labs. Certiport is placing high emphasis on quality training materials to better enable students in their pursuit of IT certification and skilled job roles.

ProCert Labs is authorized to review print, CBT, Web-based, instructor-led, video and even PDA-based courseware for IC³. In recognition of Certiport’s global reach, ProCert Labs conducts reviews in multiple languages including English, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Korean, Spanish and Japanese. Courseware publishers wishing to participate in the IC³ program can apply to Certiport via ProCert Labs by visiting www.procertlabs.com.

ProCert Labs utilizes a unique team of qualified instructional design experts with extensive experience in designing IT-related courseware. ProCert Labs does not publish courseware or compete with courseware vendors, and uses highly-specialized Web-based tools to manage and conduct secure and confidential testing. “Testing evaluations conducted by ProCert Labs are non-biased, vendor-independent assessments of quality. We base our reviews on a standardized testing process that is applied in a consistent methodology to ensure fair and accurate results” explained Snowden.
