Our Commitment to IT

In an effort to place an enhanced focus on developing and growing the IT certification business throughout Europe, Prometric has launched a new IT Certification Development team.  The team will work to drive growth in IT certifications in the region through the build-out of strategic delivery partnerships with academies, training companies and others who are actively engaged in the training and testing of IT professionals.

Building on the more than 500 strategic partner relationships put in place over the last few months, Prometric’s new team will work closely with growth-oriented partners to expand the community of IT certificate holders throughout Europe.  The team will also work with partners to better tailor certification offerings for candidates. Ensuring that the regional candidate population is getting what it needs with regard to content and operations will ensure that Europe continues to build a qualified and knowledgeable employee base from which businesses can hire skilled professionals.

Prometric’s IT Certification Development team, which brings over 20 years of combined technical, operational and customer service experience to its task, will be led by Jerry Young, who is based out of Prometric’s London office.  The other team members will be stationed in Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin to allow better penetration and identification of growth partners.
