We are seeking a Certification Specialist to join our Data Center Learning team. The successful candidate will design assessments that measure cognitive abilities, competencies, or job-specific skills for a wide range of technical roles.
* Work with Certification Methodologist to choose the right assessment tool (e.g., behavioral interviews, psychometric tests, situational judgment tests) to accurately measure the defined competencies.
* Develop test items (e.g., multiple-choice questions, situational judgment tests, simulations) based on job analysis findings and inputs from Certification Methodologist.
* Use best practices in test construction to minimize bias and maximize accuracy.
* Develop guidelines and procedures for secure test delivery (online, proctored, or in-person).
* Provide technical documentation and user-friendly reports explaining assessment results.
* Gather feedback from stakeholders, assessors, and participants to refine the assessment program regularly.
The ideal candidate will have strong project management skills, including scope, timeline, resource, risk, and budget management. They should also possess a solid understanding of exam development, psychometrics, credentialing standards, and adult learning principles.
