The OpenEDG JS Institute is committed to the development and implementation of the global standard in JavaScript programming certification, and designing an accurate and objective framework for skills assessment and competency validation.
We believe that a good certification program should bridge the gap between IT professionals and employers, as well as address the needs of the industry, increase productivity, and add value to society.
We are convinced that certification should be one of the key tools that allow jobseekers and IT professionals to establish credibility in the job market, by providing a standardized and recognized benchmark of skills, knowledge, and expertise, which will in turn stimulate the growth of the organizations employing the individuals, benefit both global and local communities, and become a flywheel for self-development and innovation.
The OpenEDG JS Institute certification program was designed following a rigorous process of industry and market research to accurately determine the demand for specialized professionals in the given sectors: through Job Task Analyses aiming to identify the work requirements and skills sought by employers looking to hire JavaScript programmers; and an intensive examination of the education system that lays out the foundation for the training and development of IT specialists, web developers, managers, and aspiring programmers.
Open Education and Development Group (OpenEDG), in its certification development process, adopts a meticulous, consultation-driven, and competency-oriented approach to test design, utilizing qualitative development frameworks, subject-centered design patterns, and psychometric modelling.
The exam and certification development process is recognized and endorsed by Cisco, an OpenEDG strategic partner, and accredited by Pearson VUE, the global leader in computer-based testing, and the biggest provider of IT certification exams worldwide.
