Online Certification...is it Right for You?

Overview In 2000, almost three million online certification tests were delivered, six times the number the year before and close to as many as were delivered in proctored testing centers. The popularity of online certifications is taking off because they are cheaper, more convenient, more representative of the work environment, and typically offer better feedback than proctored certifications. What they don't do is verify your identification. The tremendous growth of online certification has brought a fundamental new question to the certification arena: Is the time and money required to have your ID verified in a proctored testing center worth it?
