If you’re going to do it,

Then be the best at it . . .

Skills management needs to be conducted as an “ongoing process,” with individuals assessing and updating their recorded skill sets regularly. As the pace of change accelerates and diverse technologies

converge, new global industries are being created and the need for skills development increases.

About BrainBench

BrainBench, an online certification and learning center (used by NASA and many

Fortune 100 companies), is an increasingly respected credential. Their progressive

approach to certification is taking a firm hold on the business community. They offer a way for companies to screen and test the abilities of potential and current

employees with a wide range of skills assessments testing.

Overall, with its credibility, affordable prices, and great exams, BrainBench is

worth considering as a standalone certification as well as a training resource. A Global leader in online skills measurement with more than 3.9 million registered

users and over 600 different skill assessments, BrainBench pioneered online skills

testing to measure the skills of employees that are crucial to a company's bottom-

line success. Job-role certifications require that candidates pass multiple tests, some of which address general skill sets and others of which address specific

software applications and technologies. The job-role certifications are made up of

both required tests and electives, thus allowing candidates to focus on those skill

sets and software applications and technologies they are most likely to use on the job, reducing training costs.

All of their skills assessments are web-based, eliminating configuration

management and geographical issues from the start, thus decreasing costs and doing business effectively and efficiently. ETS (the Educational Testing Service)

which does the SAT and other standardized tests is a good model here. They have

a growing number of large companies and government agencies using their tests.

BrainBench exams serves as an indicator that individuals could successfully pass

other industry certifications.

Only about 40% of all examinees pass the exams and only about 5% of all

examinees earn a Master Certification.

How to interpret BrainBench Test Scores Scores range from 1-5 with 5 being the highest in the BrainBench scoring system. Within that range, BrainBench recognizes two levels of achievement for standard assessments. A score between 2.75 – 3.99 earns the test taker the standard certification while a score of 4.0 or higher certifies a master level of achievement.

Scores range from 1 to 5 and are divided into the following proficiency level categories:

TEST OVERALL SCORE RANGE

PROFICIENCY LEVEL

1.00 – 1.50 Novice 1.51 – 2.50 Basic 2.51 – 3.50 Proficient 3.51 – 4.50 Advanced MASTER 4.51 – 5.00 Expert MASTER

Proficiency Levels The proficiency levels describe in very general terms what typical examinees know and their capabilities in an applied setting. However, any individual examinee may not be able to demonstrate all of the knowledge and skills in his or her proficiency level description. Below are the proficiency level descriptions.

Novice Demonstrates an understanding of only the most basic concepts contained within this topic. Individual will most likely require formal training or self study before receiving any assignments in

this area.
