Successful Professional Certification Programs are accepted by
certificants, certification candidates, and those who use their services
as the
definitive validation of
professional competence.
To be accepted by these constituencies, your program must use
the proper assessment methods to validate a candidate's competence in a job
role.
Choosing whether to use traditional testing, simulation
examinations, practicums, examination of work product, etc. is often a difficult
decision.
You must ensure that the assessment methods used in
your Professional Certification Program are fair, administered according to
generally accepted standards, compliant with laws such as the Americans with
Disabilities Act and Equal Opportunity statutes, and may be defended in the
event of legal challenge.
