  • PerformIT

    PerformIT is one of Kaplan Learning Technologies’ proprietary technology systems. It is a performance-based testing environment for operating systems and software applications. Using virtual technology, PerformIT emulates a computer system allowing test takers to be tested in a real environment, using actual software tools. PerformIT supports multiple operating systems and an endless number of software applications providing complete freedom and flexibility. Unlike any other performance-based system on the market, test takers receive immediate scoring reports that accurately guage exact skill level. Sounds unusual? That’s because it is – our system is the only one of its kind!

  • PeformIT for Software and IT Certifications

    Managers can use STT InfoShare to assign content to learners, as well as to check on learning progress within their project.

    Why is PerformIT the right choice to certify individuals on software or IT systems?

    Traditional quiz-based certification programs are losing credibility both with the industry, and with individuals. This is because many “certified” professionals can answer quiz questions correctly, but are challenged when it comes to solving problems on a live system.

    PerformIT’s performance-based testing is a breath of fresh air

    PerformIT assesses an individual’s ability to perform a task as opposed to recall answers to questions. By proving hands-on knowledge, a performance-based test is able to measure exactly what is intended to be measured: how well the user can use a specific software or IT system.

    From support staff to database administrators, regardless the complexity of the program, PerformIT delivers the most precise look into the skills of individuals.

  • PeformIT for Pre-Employment Screenings

    Why is PerformIT the right choice to test employee knowledge of software programs and IT
    systems?

    Hiring the right people is crucial to a company's success, and in today’s world, the ‘right’ people often have to have the right software or IT skills. But IT and software skills cannot be measured in an interview. PerformIT’s performance-based testing allows you to assess an individual’s ability to work with software programs or IT environment – before you make that employment offer or unleash the new staff onto your valuable live systems.

  • PeformIT for Educational Programs

    Why is PerformIT the right choice to test student knowledge of software programs and IT systems?

    Testing and grading IT skills used to be one of the biggest challenges of educational IT programs. How to ensure the test taker knows how to use the system adequately? How to reduce the immense cost of lab environments? Or travel costs to these limited centers?

    PerformIT’s performance-based testing provides the solution of the future with step-by-step accurate and automatic grading, virtual access to systems, and a hosted service of all testing components.

    The inclusion of performance-based items in end of course assessments provides an accurate look into the effectiveness of the training program and how well the learner can do the job.
