Bloomington, Minn. (31 March 2020) — Pearson VUE, the leader in computer-based testing, has today announced entering into a multiyear Master Services Agreement with Learn on Demand Systems, a performance-based testing lab provider. With its roots in the information technology training industry going back 25 years, Learn on Demand Systems enables companies to develop, manage, and deliver effective hands-on training, assessments, and skills validation.
Bob Whelan, president of Pearson Assessments, said: "This agreement with Learn on Demand Systems enhances our offering of competitive, scalable, and valid exams. While Pearson VUE-Certiport has successfully delivered millions of lab exams over the years, we are now in a position to give our customers an expanded, one-stop shop experience."
"Performance-based testing and scored labs have been a core part of who we are for some time," said Learn on Demand Systems CEO, Corey Hynes. "This partnership with Pearson VUE enables us to deliver our innovations in testing and assessments to everyone on a global scale, and it enables a hands-on approach to be a core part of all certification testing programs."
The combination of Pearson VUE technology and scored labs from Learn on Demand Systems allows test sponsors to more effectively assess a candidate's hands-on skills within the performance-based testing environment giving testing candidates the ability to "show what they know" instead of relying solely on traditional knowledge-based exams.
To support the wide range of certification program needs, test sponsors can create skills-based lab-only exams or blended exams that combine scored labs with traditional questions using all of the test design features and flexibility that the Pearson VUE platform and delivery modes provides.
