Courseware vendors or publishers wishing to demonstrate to customers a
high degree of quality can submit their courseware to FCPA for evaluation
and approval. Courseware that passes FCPA’s stringent evaluation process
is awarded the FCPA’s
Field Certified™
seal of
approval; a symbol of quality that provides third-party assurance to
consumers that the courseware is accurately designed to help users achieve
actual and practical skills, leading to
Field Certification™.
Courseware vendors or publishers who submit courseware for evaluation will
receive a report indicating the courseware’s performance against the
published exam objectives as outlined by FCPA or a
technology vendor with
an FCPA-approved exam, including any points of
failure in any of the areas outlined above. The report will also include
recommendations for improvement or highlighted examples of excellence.
The report is designed to provide courseware vendors or publishers with
critical feedback that can be used for product improvement or to identify
marketable features.
Courseware that achieves a passing mark in all areas indicated above is
awarded the FCPA’s Field Certified™
seal of approval. The
Field Certified™
seal of approval is
marketed by FCPAâ
as a symbol of quality to consumers of courseware products and materials.
A
team of instructional designers and subject matter experts conduct FCPA
evaluation in a controlled and secure environment. The evaluations
conducted by FCPA are non-biased, vendor-independent assessments of
quality based on a standardized evaluation process that is applied in a
consistent methodology to ensure fair and accurate results. FCPA has
established a vendor-independent, market-neutral standard for courseware
quality assurance that will help courseware vendors or publishers
demonstrate third-party quality validation, and will help consumers
identify products that lead to
Field Certification™. |
