PHOENIX - Kryterion, Inc, the Phoenix-based leader in test development and delivery, announced the achievement on another milestone of growth with the establishment of its 600th testing center worldwide.

As of August of 2011, Kryterion facilitates testing with over 600 centers in its worldwide network. This milestone reinforces Kryterion’s status as one of the leading testing companies in the certification and licensure market. Kryterion now offers testing locations in over 90 countries.

“We are quite proud of being able to offer over 600 locations to our clients for their testing needs. This extensive network gives our clients more ability to expand their testing programs to where their members live.” explains Kryterion CEO William Dorman. “The need for access to a quality testing network continues to grow as companies depend on proctored exams for certification and licensure.”

In fact, the need for certification and licensure in markets such as health care and information technology continues to increase as job seekers and employers alike see the value of well-executed testing programs.

“While we aim for thorough geographic coverage with our testing network, we also constrain ourselves to working with only qualified testing centers that are able to provide a secure, clean, comfortable testing environment to our test-takers. For us, quality includes cleanliness, professional staffing, appropriate physical location and more. Our testing centers must utilize Kryterion Certified Proctors before we accept them into our network.” details Dorman. “We investigate the center’s reputation, location, and performance on an ongoing basis to ensure our reputation, and that of our clients.”

Kryterion announced the opening of the world’s first centralized online proctor operations this year in Tempe, AZ. The blend of online proctoring services and an extensive ‘bricks and mortar’ test center network allows Kryterion to meet a full range of client needs.

Kryterion is a full-service test development and delivery company that provides world-class online testing technology integrating item banking, test delivery and real time reports; while leveraging a global network of testing centers. Kryterion is the market leader in live online-proctored exams, which utilize remote video monitoring to supervise test takers where they live, learn or work.
