Here you can take Microsoft exams for IT specialists and MOS for users , pass Microsoft and Linux certification , pass GMAT , and other specialized certifications. Test Center "TechExpert" is a test platform that meets all international testing requirements.
We interviewed the director of the TechExpert test center, Tatiana Sas, who told us about the history of the creation and operation of the shopping center are architects in high demand.
- Tatiana, tell us how the history of the test center began?
In 1997, we opened a training center "Network Technologies" by TechExpert, which provides services in the field of training for IT specialists. For a couple of years of successful work with students, we learned that the course participants have an urgent need not only for training, but also for passing certified exams in their chosen areas and obtaining an international certificate.
We examined the list of certified test centers and opted for Virtual University Enterprises (VUE), now Pearson VUE , with which we began to successfully cooperate since 1999.
To obtain permission to conduct certified exams, we went through all the stages and approvals:
Preparation of the premises in compliance with all safety requirements.
Installing software.
Passing an exam by the administrators of the shopping center for knowledge of procedures and rules.
And, hurray, successful first exam!
- How has the test center changed since 1999? What changes have occurred in the conditions for passing the exams?
Each of our candidates can be sure that the time, effort and money invested in preparing for the exam were not wasted and will bring him a certain result, and we do our best to provide comfortable conditions for passing the test.
Over the years of our work, technologies have changed, the format of test tasks has changed, different remote laboratory sites have been used, but security issues have always remained a priority:
The use of biometric equipment - palm scans, digital signature, video recording during the entire exam (these technologies allow you to identify candidates, even if twins come to the exam, we had this).
The transition from 2017 to cloud technologies, which allowed the shopping center to: be flexible, scalable and quickly increase the number of jobs if necessary; maintain stability of work; avoid the need for additional server hardware.
- How did you get Pearson VUE ® Authorized Test Center Select status ? Please tell us more.
For the high-quality provision of services in 2005, our test center was asked to improve its level by fulfilling a number of additional safety conditions. We successfully coped with this and received the Select status, which allowed us to take Professional level exams, in particular, since January 2006, for the first time in Ukraine in our test center, the GMAT exam (required for admission to business schools) has become available for passing.
- Tatiana, what is the secret of such a long partnership with Pearson VUE and Certiport?
The secret of our long-term cooperation is simple - it is the well-coordinated work of all interested parties. Candidates have a need to obtain certification and an understanding of how important it is to adhere to the testing rules, on our part there is an opportunity and desire to provide high-quality service for taking exams, on the part of the test center - to support the professional work of our administrators with the help of:
A simple and universal exam platform.
Professional guidance and materials that allow the administrator to find answers to any question.
Available technical support.
- 2020 was a difficult year for training and test centers. How did you cope with the difficulties during this period?
The events of 2020 have made adjustments to our work, but we have coped with the difficult conditions of the current reality.
Now our vendors offer a choice of:
Take exams online without leaving your home. In this case, the candidate does not need to go anywhere, but must independently take care of the compliance with the requirements for the premises, software, and video communication.
Pass the exam in the test center, where all questions of the organization of the exam will be on the side of the shopping center. The administrator of the shopping center will tell you in detail about the rules, perform registration steps, and the candidate will be able to concentrate directly on passing the exam itself.
