“The only constant in life is change” – Heraclitus

Changing expectations and attitudes towards testing are putting greater and greater demand on many test sponsors to adapt or even completely reinvent their testing programs. Expectations for personalization and convenience – arising from innovations in how we access information, consume entertainment, shop, learn, and work – are causing stakeholder groups to challenging traditional models and structures for testing programs. As a result, the testing field has an amazing opportunity to evolve and implement programs that result in genuine enthusiasm for measurement as an ally. Success hinges on our collective ability to implement models and solutions that support traditional to cutting-edge programs, and in general: (i) better fit the ever-accelerating pace of change, the engagement expectations of younger generations, and the value propositions desired by employers, sponsors, delegates, and candidates/students; (ii) position and apply assessment as a valuable ally in one’s journey as a life-long learner; (iii) better mitigate security risks; and, (iv) continue to provide validity evidence to support our assertions (although type of evidence, collection, and measurement models will likely differ from today’s norms).

Testimonials

Alpine has been our trusted partner for Test design and development as well as for psychometric services since the inception of the program, and we couldn’t have asked for a better partner to come along on this journey.
Vikas Wadhwani, Director, Certifications Facebook
The certification data management and candidate self-service functionality that CertMetrics provides has helped to elevate our certification program. We can rely on CertMetrics to manage the data on the backend, allowing us more bandwidth to focus our attention on new projects and expanding our certification offerings. Alpine Testing Solutions provides first-class service, open communication, trust and reliability.
Kristen Fillmore, Certification Program Manager, Global Learning Hitachi Vantara
Alpine Testing Solutions has been a true partner in helping our organization reevaluate and reposition our examinations to meet current candidate and stakeholder expectations. Their ability to support both our technical system needs as well as psychometric and test development needs allowed us to move forward faster.
Jared Zurn, Vice President, Examination NCARB
We don’t want a partner who will just do what we say in some attempt to make us happy. We want a partner who will push back on us, challenge us with innovation and best practice combined, to ensure we get what we need to make the finished product the best it can be. That is exactly what we have gotten from Alpine.
Amy Smigielski, Director of Educational Preparatory Programs Early Learning Indiana
Alpine Testing Solutions is an ideal partner for our organization and our licensing examinations. The psychometric, program management, and facilitation services are superb. The staff are always professional, prompt, and quick to offer solutions. We love Alpine!
Joy Wilkins, Director of Professional Development International Hearing Society

Dr. KJ (Ken) Salchow, Sr. Manager, Global Training and Certification F5 Networks
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you and all of the Alpine staff we work with for consistently going above and beyond to meet our needs as we continue to grow NGICP. I particularly appreciate your responsiveness to questions and requests and your willingness to work with us on issues, whether it’s helping us find other computer-based vendors or working with us on the price of paper-based exams. Your excellent service has made our jobs much easier, so once again, thank you.
