Local trainer upgrades technology for IT tests

(CNS): Micro Matrix has signed an agreement with Pearson VUE which the training centre says will enable it to provide a better service to students to test and certify them in specialist areas. “We’re very excited about our new partnership with Pearson VUE,” said Sandra Catron (left). “The Pearson VUE Testing System is the most powerful available. We’re pleased to partner with a company whose breakthrough technology and passion for service will allow us to provide even greater service for our customers.”

Pearson VUE is the electronic certification and licensure testing business of Pearson, to provide Information Technology certification test delivery using the Pearson VUE® Testing System. The Pearson VUE advanced computer-based testing system administers exams for leading IT certification programs such as Cisco®, CompTIA®, Citrix®, Novell® and others through a global network of quality test centers.

Catron explained that among the technological advances of the Pearson VUE system is the ability of test candidates to register and reschedule their tests at the test center, on the Pearson VUE website or through a Pearson VUE call center, all in real time via the Internet. “The Pearson VUE Testing System gives us unparalleled control and flexibility over our ability to manage our business our way,” she added. “With so many options, we will be able to experiment with testing hours and number of testing stations. We can easily offer same-day testing, or bring testing to our customers’ locations. Everyone benefits.”

The list of IT certification tests accessible through the Pearson VUE system are delivered directly from the test sponsors. Test results are quickly transmitted back, ensuring the candidate’s certification status is promptly updated.

Randy Trask, Pearson VUE Vice President Market Development welcomed Micro Matrix to the global network of Pearson VUE Authorized Test Centers, which he said provide candidates with an opportunity to participate in a positive, rewarding test experience.
