-- Prometric's test sponsors can now make digital credentials available to test 
takers through Credly 

Prometric today announced a partnership with Credly that empowers its test 
sponsors to award digital credentials to qualified individuals. Through the 
arrangement, individuals who earn certifications from one of Prometric's test 
sponsors have the opportunity to receive a digital credential hosted on 
Credly's Acclaim platform.

"Prometric is excited to extend the range of value-added products we provide to 
our clients through our relationship with Credly," said Charlie Kernan, 
president and CEO of Prometric. "Prometric has a long track record of working 
with industry-leading credentialing organizations in the development and 
delivery of high-quality assessment services that enable individuals to 
demonstrate and get recognition for their talents and capabilities. Through 
Credly, we are offering our clients the best solution to easily provide a 
secure, validated digital credential to their test takers."

The digital credential enables individuals to share their employment-ready 
accomplishments online through professional and social networks. Credential 
holders can use this verified record of their specific skills and knowledge to 
differentiate themselves from other professionals in their fields. Employers 
can, in turn, easily identify holders of in-demand credentials who have 
verified skills and expertise.

"Some of the world's most recognizable brands trust Prometric to execute on 
their high-stakes testing needs," said Jonathan Finkelstein, CEO of Credly. "As 
they do, those brands need to empower their employees, members, and students 
with portable, verified evidence of the knowledge or skills they've 
demonstrated. By doing so, Credly digital credentials help convert the 
tremendous latent value of a completed high-stakes assessment into tangible 
opportunity for the credential earner."
