Continuous Certification
Modernize your recertification program by introducing continuous certification with longitudinal assessment, where learning meets assessment.
Traditional recertification involves collecting continuing education credits, self-reported by candidates or involves a recertification test, taken every 10 years. Continuous certification with longitudinal assessment merges these concepts to support lifelong learning and provide an evidence-based approach to recertification.

Continuous certification provides significant advantages by providing an ongoing evaluation process where a candidate’s knowledge and skills are measured over time. When testing programs merge learning resources and longitudinal assessment it modernizes the assessment portion of recertification, providing a more accurate reflection of a candidate's abilities.
Introduce assessments with spaced repetition and add a layer of validity.
Evaluate sustained competence and knowledge with a continuous check-in process with more frequent touchpoints that allow for greater candidate engagement. Rather than holding a one-time test, you’ll schedule smaller assessments over a long period of time for that essential layer of validity, ensuring the candidate is continually measured, verified, and reinforced in their area of expertise.
Provide microlearning opportunities to improve the candidate's ability to learn.
Offer candidates immediate feedback in the form of rationales, references, and peer comparison so they can identify and address knowledge gaps. Incorporate relevant learning resources like study materials, external links, or articles that candidates can access before reattempting questions. Update the learning materials as often as needed to stay current with trends or the latest research.

Create a positive candidate experience by providing a convenient platform and candidate dashboard.
Make recertification easy for candidates, as they can open the platform from any device with an internet connection. They access a dashboard on the homepage that displays key metrics, supporting data, and performance indicators in a visual and easily understandable format, so they always know their up-to-date performance and what is expected of them next. Select from over 250 data points to give candidates access to information like their overall progress, cumulative performance, and current progress or tasks.
Recertification needs a reboot—here’s how
Develop a better professional for a positive impact on the community.
With longitudinal assessment, candidates validate their knowledge in topics relevant to what they practice in their profession. Because their knowledge is validated through the maintenance process, the candidate is more empowered in their role and well-rounded in their field of expertise.
