PRINCETON, N.J. - Feb. 27, 2015 - PRLog -- Strasz Assessment Systems, a leading provider of products and customized solutions for exam and assessment development, is pleased to announce a  partnership with BadgeCert Inc., the leading provider of capabilities to recognize stakeholder accomplishments with digital badges. The partnership allows test takers and other stakeholders to share their verifiable digital badges with others across the Internet, while allowing issuing organizations to cut administrative costs associated with paper-based certifications.

“Strasz is extremely pleased to offer digital badge services through our new partnership with BadgeCert,” says Carrie Tuck, Business Development Executive at Strasz Assessment Systems. “Digital badges will soon be the de facto standard for authenticating and verifying competency within the credentialing industry. BadgeCert’s reliability, security, and verification methodology ensures the highest level of integrity as our customers migrate their paper-based certifications to online formats, specifically digital badges.”

“We are thrilled to partner with Strasz Assessment Systems as they have consistently exceeded their clients’ expectations with respect to high quality customer service and technology innovation,” says Ginger Malin, Ph.D., Founder and EVP of Business Development at BadgeCert.  “This partnership will provide organizations with a seamless administrative experience, while also delivering significant value to earners as they can now digitally share their verified credentials across the Web.”

There are over 90,000 professional associations covering more than 25,000,000 members in the United States. Many associations enable their members to become certified as a result of passing rigorous testing and demonstrating relevant industry skills and experience. Entities depend on the authenticity of these certifications before they hire, engage, or appoint professionals to various positions. Associations leverage BadgeCert to dramatically reduce their staff time and costs in administering certifications. Additionally, the dynamic updating feature of BadgeCert allows viewers of badges to be 100% confident of the authenticity of a certificate.

Organizations will work directly with Strasz Assessment Systems to create a unique digital badge for each of its credentials. As credentials are earned, Strasz will utilize BadgeCert’s technology to award the digital badges, so that earners may securely share their badges across social networks, job sites, or other online sites.
